Bob Rae’s speech to the ‘Economic Club of Canada’: The theme of my speech is simple and direct – much public policy debate seems to assume that Canada can take its prosperity for granted. Politicians squabble about how to divide up the cake. The truth is that you need to bake a cake first. The Read More…

Occupy Toronto
November 6, 2011
One of our interns, Brendan Daley, has been covering the Occupy Toronto movement for school. My disdain for the corporations who determine what is news, and what we should know, is well known. The new paper seems to fit perfectly with what the protesters are saying, and so I asked Brendan for his stories to Read More…
What You don’t Know can Hurt You..Part 2
November 4, 2011
That night I didn’t have a husband to tap awake, to make turn on the light, to assuage my fears and help me go back to sleep. No, I had to lie there, praying to God that I’d quickly go back to sleep and awake the next morning to sunlight streaming in my window. For Read More…

In-their-own Words: Horwath’s Hometown Paper the Latest to Sound the Alarm on Job Killing NDP Policies
October 5, 2011
Submitted by The Liberal Part of Ontario “An NDP government would not be good for Ontario… The NDP plan to hike corporate taxes to 14 per cent is wrong-headed and would damage Ontario’s economy. Freezing hospital and other public sector CEO salaries again has some grassroots appeal, but is unrealistic and would lead to bleeding Read More…

Dalton!
October 2, 2011
I remember last year, near spitting up my glass ofShirazwhen I heard the McGuinty deficit was forecasted at 25 billion. I mean it takes prolific stupidity to attain a tally that large. AndDaltonwas the guy who went ape-crazy over a modest Tory deficit about four or five billion. How will he kill the debt? Oh Read More…
Politics, still the Same today

As as new subscriber to the “Citizen” I am thrilled to see the election dialogue spread throughout its pages. Kudos to Scot & Jim for publishing verbatum. I envision excerpts of these political postings being played out on the main stage of the new Craig Theatre. With one concern, who will play the part of Read More…
McGarry Needs to Get Her Facts Straight (From Atinuke Bankole’s Site)
September 27, 2011
Several people have asked why the NDP were so active here at The Citizen during the Federal Election in May yet they are almost non-existent here now. I have been told that the Federal and Provincial NDP are completely different, even though some of the players are the same. I ‘m not the only one who Read More…

An article in Today’s Record about a survey that was taken by the environmental non-profit group Sustainable Waterloo Region, was released at the Tannery in Kitchener on Thursday night. The report, titled Ontario’s Energy Future: A Climate Change Perspective, was written based on a survey of the Liberals, Conservatives, New Democrats and Greens, by a three-person panel: Read More…
Puzzling Tactics When A Candidate say’s “Don’t Vote For me”
September 20, 2011
I found it interesting that a volunteer for Rob Leone was going door to door with a stack of PC lawn signs and asking people to put up a sign. Most other campaigns send volunteers to knock on doors and try to determine the voting intentions of residents, typically offering a plan or promise, but Read More…
How to boil a frog
September 19, 2011
Submitted by Jennifer Davidson (I thought I’d better clarify that in case anyone thought I was after the separatists again) We had a great time yesterday at our potluck and movie event. Thanks to everyone who joined us, and especially to Mark for hosting us, and Doug for sticking around and closing up after us. Wondering what Read More…

Liberals Accuse Leone of Cheating
September 16, 2011
Cambridge – Anyone who has ever wondered how desperate local Progressive Conservative candidate Rob Leone is to win needn’t look further than the attached photo. The Leone campaign was already in major damage control for avoiding several debates in Cambridge, but appears to have crossed a line here. Today a keen passer-by on Eagle Read More…
Cambridge singer new Teenage Head front man
September 14, 2011
Picture Pete MacAulay’s face as the new singer of Teenage Head. Three years after the band’s front-man, Frankie (Venom) Kerr, passed away from throat cancer, Teenage Head is back at it with Pete MacAulay on vocals. Teenage Head was a premier punk band during the 70′s and a legend in Canadian music. Formed in 1975 Read More…
Forget The Hudak Highway!
September 10, 2011
(Editor’s note: This was posted back in January, and it’s getting a lot of views so I brought it back up) I wonder what Ontario Conservative Leader Tim Hudak has been stuffing in his pipe. He is reviving the idea of a new highway to be built through the Niagara area – stretching from Fort Read More…
The Bob Walk
August 30, 2011
My wife Brenda and best friend Pearl started walking in their middle years to try to control their weight gain, which was a side effect of aging in most women. They felt great about their nightly walks so it was logically a matter of time until they forced their dopey husbands Bob and me to Read More…
Hespeler fed up with Galt elite
August 26, 2011
This is the column that started the war of words between Hags and I after it ran in the Reporter in March of 2002. The Hespeler Minor Hockey Association should resist at all costs joining with the Cambridge Minor Hockey Association. Hespeler should consider leaving Cambridge all together. We are fed up with being under Read More…
