Paul McCartney - When Winter Comes (Official Music Video)


I love this song from Paul McCartney's new album, McCartney III. "When Winter Comes" hearkens back to some of his early solo material, and watching the video makes me think of "Mull of Kintyre."

My thoughts on eugenics and Bill C7

Normally I don't like to engage in discussions about the politics behind things making the news (e.g. COVID-19). I will make an exception for Bill C7. This proposed bill, if passed, will make it easier for people with disabilities to end their lives. This may please right-to-die advocates, but not those of us who believe our lives are of value. I am a person with a disability who opposes eugenics. I also believe that every person with a disability deserves to live, and have access to the same opportunities as anybody else. I also find it strange and disappointing that a party that passed a disability act in parliament is also in favour of a euthanasia bill. This worries me greatly. All this energy would be better spent removing societal barriers instead of passing a bill that says our lives are expendable. #nothingaboutuswithoutus

CITYTV.... EVERYWHERE! THE BEST OF MARK DAILEY

Mark Dailey, the voice of Citytv, died 10 years ago today. I enjoyed meeting him more than a decade ago. I believe his spirit is EVERYWHERE.
