John Cardoso Afghanistan again, and again, and again...

The “Afghanistan Case” continues to be a controversial issue among the peoples of the countries involved in that quagmire. Many Canadian families saw their sons and daughters leave their homes to die in that far away land. And what for ? Some Canadians, seemingly, still believe in Santa Claus and this believe extends into believing that “the West” is fighting in Afghanistan to deliver Afghans from the Taliban yoke, to liberate women from an archaic and cruel traditional system, build schools fo… Continue

Wayne Harrigan Listen to the Seniors!

Sometimes it helps to be reminded of how things were. Five years ago, New Brunswick residents who entered nursing homes were treated very unfairly.

Carole L. Carson Mindful Eating

The mind's first step to self-awareness must be through the body. George Sheehan To Lose Weight, Turn On Your Radar How I eat determines how much I eat far more than I would like to admit. That’s why I try to avoid—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—what I refer to as “beneath the radar” eating. Unless I pay attention, this type of eating won’t show up in my daily food journal. Examples include enjoying a bite or two of whatever I am cooking while standing at the kitchen counter, nibbling… Continue

DOUG McLELLAN BYE, BYE, STEVIE

Prime Minister Harper just did the greatest thing for Canada he has ever done. He left the Country for about a month. He wont be back until sometime in December. I was wondering though.
