Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  It's time our government rewrites the current Young Offenders Act and, definitively, our bail system! If We Want To Get The Guns Off The Streets Then Let's Get The Criminals Off Our Streets!

  If our leaders were to cave in to America’s bully tactics then we would be taking jobs from our own people and giving them to the newly formed “Divided States of America”. To do so would be economic suicide!

  Here I sit broken hearted For our neighbours logic has departed Latter years they were a good friend Now I fear this has come to an end A billionaire and a felon Appears to me have lost their melon What comes next is Canada’s flex Our strength will show tariffs must go Yet I fear the trade war is here And our politicians cannot agree To them it’s not about you or me They argue from their comfy home Leaving us to stand alone A threat to be another state Is not to be Canada’s fate They need our power to keep lights on And our lumber so I am told For the Cali fires were so bold For us it’s sour We should withhold the power Leave them in darkness hour after hour Being treated like a fool Time to send them back to school So stand you tall and watch them fall For Canada is strong you see The Yankees are wrong trust in me For we shall always be THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE!

Those of you who know me, or of me  know well the numerous instances of medical problems that have plagued my life these past few years. By the end of 2021 I had been legally dead, resuscitated and on life support on seven occasions. As of today, July 5th, 2024 that has increased to twelve times . Most people experience death only once. They don’t come back to try life once again. So putting all that aside, let me bring you up to date with the latest chapter of “ Dying Dann’s Adventures With Death” . (Check my YouTube channel for numerous videos of my ‘Adventures With Death.) I was diagnosed with oropharyngeal  cancer and Squamous Cell Carcinoma on October 28th, 2018. The Squamous Cell Carcinoma was eradicated with experimental radical radiation treatments in early March 2020. I had 80 rounds of Harwins Protocol  radiation in 20 days. A double session every morning and repeated every afternoon. Very radical and powerful rounds of treatment. Treatments that, as all radiati...

  Start your day the ‘LightHouse’ way – with hope, confidence and a genuine smile For in life you have walked many a mile What took place yesterday cannot be altered Learn from times that faltered What may take place tomorrow can only be guessed What takes place today determines the rest Walk tall with confidence and pride Remembering that truthfulness you should never hide Every picture tells a story An honest life is full of glory Bear no shame in reaching out to those in need A shameful life is one of greed Be humble,  but not meek Stay strong even when you are weak Smile even when you cannot Be grateful for the life you have got A positive role model to their fellow man Reaches out with kindness whenever they can

Click Here to listen to this post as a podcast Premier Ford I have a problem with your agenda. Well, I believe the problem is your hidden agendas. I have a few other problems with you but first let's talk about the largest one. So, let us see, you are planning on building a million and a half houses. I read somewhere that these houses will have basement apartments. Also, you claim they will be " affordable ". (Hang on for a second. I have to stop laughing) I have to give you credit for your way with words. You come across in such a manner that the average person actually believes what you are saying. They hear your voice, but, sadly, they do not hear your words. Answer me this Premier, " Affordable by who, exactly? Also, I may be wrong, I heard that the refugees will be given first priority to these homes. They were given first priority to and have now filled a large portion of our civic shelters. ( We will not bother to bring up how many are being housed in motels ...

The giveaway is now “ LIVE  and you can download it for free until Friday Midnight. This is one of my personal favourite that I have written. “6315 The Original Urban Viking” The difference between this work and my first few published works is astronomical. My first few books are very rough and amateurish. They definitely were. As I say in my intro of “ DAMAGED “, I published it without correcting any of the format or grammar or spelling mistakes. The reason for doing so was that part of my life was chaos and tragedy and I wanted you, the reader, to understand and feel what my so-called childhood was in reality. Although, I have many years experience freelance writing and I have my blogs, some of which have hundreds of posts, I found authoring a book to be far different then a journalism type of article. Volume 1 of My Autobiography https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1973405784 I put all my knowledge and all my heart into “ 6315 The Original Urban Viking “.  Many, many hours of re-write...

Life is surprising How many times must I add another volume to my autobiography? At the time I wrote my " Walk With Dann Collection" I had not expected to live much longer. My kidneys were a mess. My congestive heart disease was at stage 4. Things were not looking well for me. Then I got diagnosed with the non treatable cancers. So I wrote " Old Man With The 'C' - A Cancerous Walk With Dann". At the time believing my story had come to an end. The cancer diagnoses led to me writing Old Man With The 'C' - a C Walk With Dann". After a horrible 15 month battle I thought once again my life was over. As did all my various doctors. We were wrong. I did die twice through the battle, but alas, the Viking within me refused to lay down. My Cancer team at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre are baffled that I live still. They use words like "miracle". All I know is now I am writing another volume detailing the life and times of The Last Canadian Cosm...

Final Preparations For Jordan’s Celebration of Life February the first is just about here. A day I dread.   The day my wife, Jennifer, my oldest son, Randy, my youngest son, Dakota must say our farewell   to our son and their brother. For those who have asked, here are the details and location of the Service and Reception. Saturday, February 1, 2020 at 4 PM – 7 PM at the Canadian Legion Hall Number 73, 2 Robinson Avenue, Toronto,  (Danforth Avenue and Danforth Road) Anxiety is high for the family. I am worried for my wife. She has been staying strong as she can. Yet, I know how she feels inside. I know she is hiding ninety-nine percent of her pain. She is brave that way. Forget not that she is also watching me slowly deteriorate. Everyday wondering if this is the day Dann passes from his cancer? A father’s love is like no other, also, A strong genetic companionship of the Alpha and his Beta’s. ` Daddy Know`s Best ` so follow your Father and learn to be a good ma...

I am ' LightHouse Dann Verner'. A man who some say has lived many tragic lives. The first decade of my life I had lived in thirty-two homes. None of which I ever spoke the words, " Mom or Dad ". Only " Mister or Misses". I started my ' Walks ' at the age of ten fighting the monsters in my head.  The demons were winning for many years. I left my siblings Father's house at the age of twelve to join a hippie commune and learned how to be a Heroin addict. I have never slept in my father or mothers house since that day. That was over fifty years ago ..... Was my life hard? I think not. Every life is difficult. It is our trials and tribulations that define who we become in life. I have done many things I am ashamed of. I have done far more that I am proud of. Never let your past transgressions define your future. Hold your head high and hold the attitude that you are the best you that you can be today. For yesterday ...

AFTERWARD OR AFTERWORDS WHY I WRITE Many ask me why l write. I write my books for  me. I tell my stories for my  readers. “ I am not sure if my works are badly written good stories or well written bad stories. Not too sure I care either way. I do care that, in my “Walk With Dann Collection”, I am telling my life as brutally truthful as possible. In shame and in honour. I do care that my ‘stand alone’ books, such as “ The Last Canadian Cosmonaut ” touch your heart. I pray that my other collection, “Walking On Dawes”, shows that the gang life, although often ‘exciting’, leads only to karma biting your buttocks.” My Walk With Dann Collection Volumes 1, 2 & 3 “ Damaged” is my first book. Like me, it is raw and full of mistakes. I have left it “unedited” as life has left me. “ DAMAGED” Walk With Dann Collection Volume 1 “ A Walk from my birth till I meet my second wife.” It is rough, crude in fact, numerous format con...
