There has been a lot of trash talk lately about people making up their minds by researching on the Internet. There’s nothing wrong with doing research on the internet. But think where your information is coming from, and how it might affect you. Something We All Know If you get an email from…

Failing Marks for Canada’s Leadership
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
Let me be clear. The Canadian electorate and I are very happy with the results of this last election. The three major parties all have the same plans for the future, based on the agenda the Liberals were already making (slow) progress on with the approval of all the rest. Once again we have a…

Vaccinated People Don’t Get COVID: The Full Story
by renaissanceadmin • • 1 Comment
Well, they don’t get it half as much as the statistics say they do. So, how can people who don’t have the disease infect people? To understand this, look at an everyday scenario. I’m lining up for a bus, and somebody with COVID, who hasn’t put on a mask yet, sneezes beside me. I’m double…

Was the Election a Waste?
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
So Trudeau waited the usual 18 months (just to be polite) and tried for a majority. It didn’t work. What was the result? Erin O’Toole spent his whole election budget on TV ads complaining about Trudeau calling the election. I mean, what else did he have to say? You gotta have sympathy for the guy.…

They Just Don’t Care
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
A lot of questions were being asked last week about how Jason Kenney’s apologetic admission of fault for Alberta’s COVID problems could affect Erin O’Toole’s chances in Monday’s election. There was a lot of dancing around the issue, but no one I heard was brave enough to state the obvious; neither of these men should…

Thoughts on the Leadership Squabble
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
Watching the Leaders’ Debate coverage on Thursday, several thoughts came to me, any of which might be worth sharing. No politician ever answers a question from the press. They just choose the most relevant talking point from their platform and ramble on. No news there, although the lack of decent issues in this election…

A First Step Towards Democracy
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
Since we’re in the middle of an election, it wouldn’t hurt to step back and take a look at the bigger picture, to see where the short-term promises of the competing parties are leading us. Besides around in the usual circles, that is. What is “Better Democracy?” Good government is supposed to create the…

Welcome to the Darwinian Wave: Real Canadians Will Have Their Say
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
It has been a bad year for Canada’s sense of self-worth. We thought we were a kind, inclusive society. The stress of COVID and imminent global disaster has shown us the mirror, and it’s a muddy image. It turns out that we have a larger number of racist, selfish people in our midst than…

Stop Whining about the Election; You Asked for It
by renaissanceadmin • • 1 Comment
So Trudeau called an election at a time when he’s likely to win it. OMG! Well, what do you expect? He’s a politician. He called an election for political reasons. All his opponents are complaining for political reasons. Mainly, because he’s likely to win it. As far as the average voter is concerned, at the…

The Competition Lie
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
Last week I talked about the falsehood that has been used to push the elitist sports programs. “You can be anything you want.” Which any fool can tell you is complete balderdash, and telling average children this lie causes a lot more trouble than the benefit of the positive motivation it provides future…
