Premier Ford, Answer Me This

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 ...

Suicide Is Not “PAINLESS”

Christmas will never exist in my life after this year. My son, Delaney Jordan, committed suicide yesterday. December 25th, 2019. Left to Right:Me,Jordan,Randy Left to Right: Jordan, Randy and I. He and his wife, Katelyn, decided to relocate from Toronto, Ontario to Black Diamond, Alberta. They had made the decision to start a new life in a new province with new friends. Alberta was not good to them at all. When they first arrived they did their best to try and secure employment. Kate succeeded by finding a part time job at a subway sandwich shop. Social Services absolutely refused to help them in any way. Even at Christmas. They were actually quite rude to both Katelyn and Jordan. This led to depression for both of them. They could not believe that a government agency could care less that they were homeless and possibly going to freeze to death on the street. They had made plans to scrimp and save until they had enough to return to their native Toronto. Perhap...

I AM TIRED ........ SO VERY TIRED

I AM TIRED. ....VERY TIRED ​As I sit here fighting this demon at three o'clock in the morning,  I am totally ashamed and disgusted with myself for what I have done to my life and the affect it has upon my child. I cannot recall one minute of my past existence that can compare to the disaster which I now am living. I am lost. I am broken.  I am repairable and I know which path I should be walking on, but I cannot repair myself.  Deep down inside I am struggling with a very dark entity and I am riddled with guilt,  shame, weakness and dangerous emotions. I know I am mentally  stronger than most people.  I know that all things must pass I know I will never take the cowards way out of this sorrow.  I know that I am truly loved by many, many beautiful souls, for it is their love and friendship that fuels my fighter and  logical self. BUT ...... I must confess that I am weak -  I am so very tired.   I fear I have not the ps...

PONDERING

Imagine if you thought today was actually tomorrow and then realized it was actually yesterday. Confusing pondering for sure. Such is my mindset when I gaze upon modern society. I am dumbfounded as to why the vast majority either sees not or chooses not to show concern. Whatever happened to love thy neighbour? Whatever became of lending a helping hand? Where has honour above all dispersed to? I look at the world we have created for my sons and I worry.  I worry that they will mature with the mindsets that violence happens, marriages are disposable and respect is a fable.  So, every night I drift into R.E.M. with a kaleidoscope of fears and anxieties dancing through the windmills of my mind. And I worry for my babies. I am frightened for what they may have to experience in their adulthood's because we, the priors, had no sensibility. Do you worry? Do you have the moxy to change what we have instilled into the id of our youth? Me thinks we best get ...

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS = SOCIETAL BREAKDOWN

What the frack is wrong with everyone and all this political correctness bull manure? Every single day now we are being  FORCED  to bow down to some sort of “correctness”. Money spent, tax payer’s money, could be better spent on much more important debates. Such things as more than a one percent raise per year on pension and old age cheques. The average  rent goes up 3.25% per year, yet Pension and Old Age are only given a 1% raise . We have our down and out citizen’s sleeping on cement while we house refugee’s in hotels. We have changed our school system from having morning prayer and pledging allegiance to the Queen to accommodate a few immigrants who take  “offence” . Today in  Ontario  it was announced that all government forms will have  “Mother”  and  “Father”  removed to accommodate the LGBT community. Here is a link that fiasco: Replacing Mother & Father to be Politically Correct The money spent on this ‘stu...
