Support Independent Women’s Radio in Orillia
A friend of a friend is pushing for a (radio) broadcast license for Orillia, Ontario. The station is an attempt at diversity, not only from large corporate owned radio chains but also in terms of gender. The station would be owned by four women, which is rare for radio – though I’m assured it wouldn’t…

A Few Thoughts on the Economy and Economics
My views on general economics are likely in keeping with Canada’s broad middle. Most of the ‘schools’ of economics haven’t panned out. Karl Marx was wrong. If everyone ‘Takes according to their need and gives according to their ability’ there are too many people who will ‘take according to their ability and give according to…

Keep Meeting
Reposted in total from POGGE. It’s an excellent suggestion. Just because the Conservatives have decided it’s a good time for an extended vacation doesn’t mean that the Coalition, which has alot of work to do, has to join them.

While I am certainly a federalist and cannot imagine a Canada…
