What is Love? My eldest recently told my wife she may start dating; personally I was a little taken aback because she didn’t want to discuss it with me. Obviously the kid knows me and I would  have probably tried to convince her to finish school, get an education, see the world, start a career...

If you haven’t heard already one of the most talented women in the music industry, Whitney Huston, met a most tragic death over the weekend. Being the same age as myself it sent a few shivers down my spine, thinking the inevitable is around the corner. But then again, if I compare my life to...

This week BCE kicked off their campaign supporting mental health discussion around the topic of depression and other mental health issues. The timing couldn’t be better because for me personally during these winter months I awake everyday as if it’s Groundhog Day without that vigour or spark. Even though I have nothing to worry about,...

Yesterday evening while watching the nightly news I heard of the latest Canadian study that concludes spanking can be detrimental to the development of a child and more than likely cause problems later in life.

NFL Super Sunday did not disappoint as the game was determined in the last 2 minutes of the game with the N.Y. Giants defeating the New England Patriots by a 21-17 score taking Superbowl XLVI. The halftime show featured an ageless Madonna with her upbeat enthusiasm delivering on her promise to not disappoint. But disappointments...

February has arrived and so to has Ground Hog Day, the day we battered Canadians look forward to hear the news if winter will come to a quick end or we must endure the extra  punishment. Fortunately for many Canadians, this year has been abnormal yet a blessing; as snow and horrible conditions have been...

I was watching W5 an investigative journalism program on CBC, Sunday night. It was titled ‘Who is killing the Rizzutto’s’. This family which is based in Montreal maintains control and influence throughout the province of Quebec.  They control via bribery; police, judges, ministers and many others in positions of authority. It is incredible the millions...

Italian Cruise ship captain Francesco Schettino began his new job as a busdriver yesterday…., one of the many jokes that broke out after a disastrous accident that should not have happened. Many people died needlessly and their families suffer from whatever idiotic thoughts this man had in his head. The accusation against his irresponsibility was...

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday said that interest rates would continue to stay at ultra low rates through 2014. Previously, the fed pegged mid-2013 but the extra 18 months is intended to boost a struggling but modestly growing American economy. They state that inflation is subdued; I beg to differ, as they seem unconcerned. But...

Apple Computer came out with their earnings last night and blew the estimates out of the water. Apple now is the world’s most valuable firm topping $422 billion as first quarter earnings were $13.06 billion or $13.87USD/Share on revenue of $46.33 billion. Estimates were at $10.04/share on revenue of $38.92 billion. Profit was up 118%...

This past weekend was my eldest 19th birthday, a milestone which we both survived up until now. I reminisced as if it was yesterday, a man so pumped, I almost kicked my wife off the gurney to give birth myself. I was so prepared with cameras and videos until they told me to put everything...
