Being of Scottish descent, but now a Canadian, I have really never had much of an interest in the British royalty.

Pat Daniels the devil personified?

I cringed some time ago when I read headline suggesting the 2011 federal election would be the first election in which the full force of social media would be unleashed.

Recreational lodge and charter vessel interests are trying to make the federal government’s February decision to uphold a longstanding halibut allocation policy into an election issue, particularly on Vancouver Island.

Many springs ago on a melting Saturday afternoon, I was hiking doggedly behind my ever more energetic brothers, through the soggy northern Ontario bush.

Happy Spring all! Thought the snow would never go. However, the fellows from the district yard kept my hopes up all winter.

This is a hard time of year for me.. And it’s worse in this election season, so quickly following on our snowiest winter in years, with its ugly plethora of inane commentary and what I would call weak coverage.

The federal election provides us with the opportunity and the sense of urgency for everyone to get involved in the halibut issue.

With the vanishing of the snow drifts in my yard, one of the highlights of Spring is the resulting and stunning display of crocus I get to enjoy.
