Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hotel Riu Cancun (March 2004)

Shea and I have rarely (never?) stayed at the same brand of hotel during our various all-inclusive trips over the years, always interested in trying new places (though we lean heavily on the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area lately compared to moving around more when we first starting going to resorts.) We stayed at a Riu during […]

Wisdom Wednesday – The Agitator’s Prayer?

I repeatedly hear people say some variation of: “You should only worry about things within your control”. I hear it at work.  In politics.  In the labour movement.  In memes and Internet posts. As if saying it, somehow makes it true. I’m not sure if it comes out of the mental health/self-help movement.  It might […]

Music Monday – “There’s room at the top they are telling you still/But first you must learn how to smile as you kill/If you want to be like the folks on the hill.”

Being told I have a “Working Class Heart” is definitely up there with some of the best compliments I’ve ever received.  And if it evokes John Lennon, I’ll take it! “Working Class Hero” – John Lennon

Wisdom Wednesday – If Someone Says Covid Is “Over”…

Definitely don’t listen to the politicians.  And even many of the medical professionals misunderstand the ongoing risks. If you want to know the true status of Covid, listen to the insurance actuaries whose whole business model is predicated on predicting the actual financial costs of Covid to their companies (no different than insurance companies increasingly […]

I’m Not A Fan of Hypocrisy (So What Am I Hypocritical About?)

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I’m thinking about some of the conflicted views I hold. For instance, my dad recently completed the sale of our family farm that was previously Indigenous land. I have already and will continue to benefit greatly from the sale of that land while Indigenous people continue to fight […]

Throwback Thursday – “A Man Without Land Is Nothing” – Duddy Kravitz (August 2022)

I’ve been heavily involved in a variety of major changes for those I love most in the past three years – my mom is now in a care home because of her dementia, my dad has finished the sale of the last quarter of land from the farm that’s been in our family since 1883 […]
