Today, I’m just an opinionated Canadian writer with time on my hands. The world is a different place today, including the Donald Trump saga that ‘keeps on giving.’ That alone gives me lots to write and comment on. Check out more of my stories at … flippen.ca

  • This does not surprise me at all because of this parallel. When researching Canada’s Avro Arrow, many articles came up mentioning how the US would wine and dine Canada’s military elites to convince them, and in turn convince the Prime Minister at the time to dump the Arrow. We all know what happened then. Political interference at its finest. We also know the reason was, hook, line and sinker, Canada’s dependency on the US for military equipment, and not mentioning one US Senator commented, We don’t need the compensation, “especially from Canada.” Alberta’s separatist movement had better think wisely.


  • As a young (white) person with a new driver’s license, I was pulled over all the time, and the cops always found a problem (according to them) So, I do not agree with profiling of any kind, especially racial profiling. But if you (cop) spot a car with lights out at night, tires that have no tread, "do your job and pull those people over for driving an unsafe vehicle on our highways.’ Who knows, you might find some real bad actors in the process. Police do not need more powers; just do the job you swore an oath to do. Catch real bad guys.















  • I’m doing research for my blog on "when and where did the US start hating and out-and-out showing hostility towards Canada. No doubt the present US administration is smoken bad shit, and they’re presently the culprits with the hostile takeover talk. This is life-changing and dangerous rhetoric for both sides of the border. However, through research, I found that this type of insult from the US appears to have a long history. Now I have to research why? One answer could be: They’re still pissed that we nearly burned the White House down hundreds of years ago?
