I was born in 1938 and since that time there have been millions killed and maimed due to wars like the Second World War, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Afghanistan and Ukraine. Then we have terrorism that kills thousands for religious reasons or deep-rooted hatreds with mass shootings taking the lives of the innocent. Now in New Orleans, just hours into a new year, a terrorist takes 14 people’s lives. Lord, if you’re listening, please stop in 2025 this senseless cycle of death and destruction by mankind.
Amen!

Outplayed
Canada again didn’t make it out of the quarter-finals in the World Juniors due to a lack of discipline. Their play throughout the preliminary rounds bore that out. Twenty penalties in the last two games is a testament to the selection committee who seem more focused on who has the most goals or the most points rather than who is the best team player. The coaches didn’t instill the importance of the TEAM enough in my opinion. Players who take stupid penalties are a detriment to the team. Until someone in Hockey Canada decides to choose players on their commitment to team play rather than their commitment to goals and selfish play the quarter-finals will be a difficult position to surpass. Good luck next year.

Election now!
The Liberal party is going down like the Titanic did when it hit an iceberg. Trudeau like a captain is going down with the ship. His MPs are taking the lifeboats. When will this clown call a carbon tax election in order to save the ship from going down? Hint no one wants you including your own party.

Lead by example
We desperately need another leader like Jean Chretien. A leader who can wrangle the debt, reform welfare and get people who can work out working and stand up for our sovereignty. A strong, no-nonsense politician who is looking out for all Canadians regardless of their political stripes and can be sensible about taxing the hard-working people. We cannot tolerate any more weakling, no-nothing, Trudeau-like leaders!
