The fallout still is reverberating two weeks after the Liberal government reneged on its promise to change Canada’s electoral system by the next election scheduled for 2019. The heat might have died out by now except that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself fanned the embers last week during a visit […]
Dear editor: Kenora MP Bob Nault says the federal government gave electoral reform “a good go” and that there was no consensus. Wrong. A consensus of Canadians does want to change the electoral system. They expected Justin Trudeau to keep his party’s promise to change the electoral system. The all-party […]
Dear sir: It is always amusing to read the press releases from the Rainy River District School Board and the one published on Feb. 8 (“Student access to libraries enhanced”) was no exception. It is always a question not of what are they revealing, but of what they are trying […]
It is probably a little early to start talking about spring, but there are signs everywhere that spring is just around the corner. Leaving my mother’s house on Sunday just before 6 p.m., there still was some light in the western sky as I drove home. Yes, the days are […]
It appears we’re back to square one when it comes to how best to welcome tourists coming into Northwestern Ontario through the Fort Frances border crossing. The town has done an admirable job filling the void when the Ontario government abruptly shuttered several tourist information centres across the province, including […]

In January, I had the incredible opportunity to travel with several of my colleagues to Israel on a parliamentary mission with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. The purpose of this trip was for us to gain a better understanding of the region and the unique issues its people […]
The 2017 FLW Tour bass tournament season got underway this past weekend down at Lake Guntersville, Alabama. Although it was some of the toughest fishing that I’ve encountered in my travels south over the past five years competing in these events, I was very fortunate to leave Guntersville with a […]
As I was changing my cows to leave for the 4-H leaders’ annual meeting Friday night, I glanced up at the barn camera and noticed I had a heifer calving. My mom had arrived to pick me up but I told her to go on without me as I fully […]
January was kind to me this year. That is, aside from dumping the ‘flu on me, though I may have blamed others and not January specifically. January may have read my column from a few weeks back (though that may be presumptuous on my part) and decided to extend a […]
