Here’s a news story about my effort.
Thanks Brian MacLeod and Windsor Star.

I’m not surprised by the controversy over the Ontario government’s ads: Reagan is revered in America while Trump is reviled.
Check out Reagan's quotes I included in the essay I wrote in this fine book.
Thanks for reading and keep your sticks on the ice!

Canada the 51st state? Not on our lives.
I was one of 10 writers from the Great Big White North who contributed a chapter to this fine volume. My essay was titled "Canada the 49th: The True North, Strong and Free! The View of America From Windsor, Ontario.”

On the day we celebrated my brother's life, I learned Rush announced they are touring again. I think Dave would have approved. I plan to bring his Snakes and Arrows t-shirt to the Toronto show.
Let's all celebrate the moment, as it turns into one more.

Ken Dryden will forever be one of the greatest goalies in NHL history, but his stance on concussions and how we can improve player safety will always be one of the greatest things he never backed down on. A king in using your platform for good.

On this day in 1833, Bernard (Barney) Flaherty became America’s first ‘newsboy', hawking copies of The New York Sun on the city’s streets. Ali Akbar, reportedly the last newspaper hawker in Paris, is still going strong after more than 50 years.
