Only in Britain, what a pity...

Feeling good about Canada today!

Feeling good about Canada today. This is our country and will only loose it if we allow it to happen. For decades we were the world leader on social justice, human rights, peace keeping, immigration, education, health care and environment. In the last eight years we have moved to the back of the pack and become indifferent followers. What has changed? Just look to the top. Let's make decisions that will give our kids the Canada we grew up in...

The kids get it, why don't we?

Today's youth are better educated, more informed and socially aware than past generations. These youth are inclusive and care about things like the environment, access to education, human rights and the equitable sharing of wealth. It's going to be their world. I think we should give them the world they want and marginalize the Conservatives because they have shown total disregard for our youth, especially if their views are different and they choose to use their freedom of speech. We seniors have had our chance and are leaving our children a messed up world where women's rights are still threatened; guns, jails and war planes take precedent over health care, affordable housing, daycare and universal access to post secondary education. All of it is possible if we just refocus our priorities. It's time to cut our losses and give our country back to the ones who will need it most, our children... we need to stop talking and start listening to them.

I'm Baaacckk!

I've been away for a while. Life got really busy during the summer and into the fall. The world is an extraordinary place and leaves us with many issues and topics to grab our interest and time. Recently politics has once again become a preoccupation for me. The emergence of the Tea Party in the U.S., right government in Great Britain along with election season beginning provincially and federally in Canada. Lots to track.

However the transformation that's happening in the middle east, especially Egypt has really rekindled my interest and attention. What courage, patience and commitment by the opposition forces there against incredible odds. Truly a modern day David vs Goliath scenario. My hearth is with the people of Egypt. Through their peaceful demonstration I hope for a peaceful transition to self-determination and prosperity.

I have begun the transition my personal life toward retirement which is just 59 month away. I hope to share some of my plans, preparation as I move to this new phase of my life. So check in to see what I've been up to.

At the end of last year my wife and I bought an investment/retirement property which means we are now landlords for the first time ever. It is turning into quite the adventure. Hope to share about that experience as well.
