  Military target should be easy It will be easy to hit our 5% of GDP target for military spending. We simply just have to convert all military equipment (tanks, airplanes, subs, etc.) to run off renewable energy. The other option would be to reduce the denominator of the equation by eliminating all natural resource […]

Blame the people  Old men do not start wars. Bad nation actors cause wars. It’s fight them now or fight them later.  Real bad non-democratic countries are the problem.

CO-OP HOUSING Apart from the fact that young potential home buyers face a multitude of obstacles when attempting to become a homeowner, such as mortgage costs, large down payments, huge development fees and costs, I suggest that our government and developers concentrate on building co-operative housing to allow the 40-year-old generation to move out of […]

Too soon, Carney Here we have Mark Carney, barely prime minister of Canada for less than two months and he is already barking out orders to the global community ‘to calm down’.  I am quite sure Trump, Netanyahu and even Zelenskyy are all standing at attention on the global parade square as this newbie from […]

Trump’s still playing Carney — he sees a weakness in Carney. Carney looks completely out of his depth and Trump […]

Maybe the Flames will luck-out at the upcoming NHL draft and get the ball rolling again? Perhaps, the Calgary Flames’ woes aren’t so much […]

Maybe big bold lettering covering half a page. Larry Dean Baker (It’s a little wordy. We like your thinking though.) Own the blame, […]
