Dear Premier Smith – Affordable Energy

Dear Premier Smith, Doubtless you are as concerned with the high cost of everything in Alberta as are so many of us, and especially those on fixed incomes. Inflation and shrinkflation are eating away at the savings of pensioners and those trying to get there. The hard working class citizens of Alberta and those hoping Read More

This Land Is Our Land – Scenic Biways

Woody remains an icon of folk music history. In addition to the national anthem of “This Land,” Woody’s songs—like “Reuben James,” “Roll on Columbia,” “Union Maid” and “Pastures of Plenty”—have been some of the most significant contributions to American folk music of this century. To some, he was the father of the American folk song Read More

I Just Can’t Shake It

A Manifesto – Welcome To The Gender Culture Wars – Wear A Helmet And A Kevlar Vest. Check Your Gear…And Your Privelege

“If your God guides you to fight in The Culture Wars, go resist or fight in peace…until you can’t. Peace may have to come later. This is war.” – Howard The old world, sane or not, just or not, is in freefall. Every system that was set in place to regulate geopolitics and the collective Read More
