With “Dry January” underway, encouraging people to consider reducing their alcohol consumption, the United States’ top doctor has also issued a call to label alcohol as cancer-causing.
 Brock University Professor of Health Sciences Dan Malleck But Brock University Professor of Health Sciences Dan Malleck says there needs to be a more nuanced approach to discussions regarding alcohol consumption before people rush to chucking their wine collections in the bin for good.
“The anti-alcohol perspective is our default setting,” he says. “We are too willing to accept research showing it’s bad and be skeptical of evidence that says otherwise. This is a problem.”
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s advisory, which was released on Friday, Jan. 3, warns that alcohol consumption can increase the risk of cancer and that an updated health warning label is needed on alcoholic beverages to identify that risk.
These advisories are typically reserved for issues deemed to require immediate awareness and action and can be associated with major changes in a nation’s health habits. The surgeon general’s 1964 report on smoking is one such example.

Civility…. a disposition of the heart… a way of seeing others as our moral equals and treating them with the respect that they’re owed and deserve.
 Justin Trudeau with his father Pierre Trudeau was humble, his leaving message was thoughtful, graceful, polite and respectful. He spoke well of Canadians, even with mounting poll numbers indicating that most Canadians don’t feel the same way about him. His demeanour was stoic, his responses to the media were honest and straightforward. The entire event Monday morning was clearly an emotional moment for a man who had once been hoping to surpass his father’s record of service, but clearly was not his father and had failed.
The media and opposition pundits, still keep talking about why Justin isn’t resigning now and everybody is complaining that he didn’t do it earlier. That is not helpful. He will be gone before Parliament resumes on March 24th. The federal election will be in mid to late May 2025. And we should all be grateful that we’ll avoid an unneeded early winter election.

Are we looking at a Doug Ford army?
The Ontario government has launched “Operation Deterrence,” the province’s preparedness and planning framework for enhanced security at international borders and tackling criminal activity that is harming people on both sides of the border.
 RCMP officers welcoming immigrants at an illegal border crossing. “Ontario has been calling on the federal government to step up and address safety and security concerns at the border. We need to see words turned into visible action,” said Premier Doug Ford. “In the meantime, Ontario is stepping up with Operation Deterrence to crack down on illegal border crossings and illegal guns and drugs. A more coordinated, Team Canada approach that includes more boots on the ground is the only way to detect, deter and disrupt illegal activity and ensure the safety and security of Canadian and American communities.”
As part of Operation Deterrence, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has an emergency response team of 200 officers that, along with frontline and speciality officers, have been and will continue to be engaged to enhance border security.

This article was published ten years ago. The focus was on density and traffic congestion. Has any progress been made?
What would Burlington look like with 100 Strata’s built around the city?
 This is what the Strata looks like. Councillor John Taylor thinks the city is going to need 100 of these in the next 25 years to meet the intensification target set by the province. What’s a Strata? That’s the condominium the Molinaro gropup built on Maple Avenue.
That was the potential ward 3 city Councillor John Taylor tossed on the table during a city council Committee of the whole recently.
 John Taylor, Councillor for ward 3 and the Dean of Burlington’s city council Taylor puts the city’s current population at 175,000 people – the signs as you enter the city say 176,000.
The Growing in Place program – that is a provincial government directive, calls for Burlington to have a population of 195,000 by 2031
That number is thought to rise to 210,000 by 2041. The projection for 2041 number is something that is still being worked out by the Region and the four municipalities in Halton.
We can quibble all we want but the bald fact is that between now and 2041 the city is expected to add 35,000 people to the population total.
And because there is no development north of the Hwy 5 – 407 line – all those people have to be tucked in south of that line.
Taylor says his math works like this.

Most of this article was originally published in the Toronto Star
In his first public statement since announcing his intent to step down as prime minister and Liberal leader, Justin Trudeau said Tuesday “there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell” that Canada would become the 51st American state, following U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s explosive comments that he would use “economic force” to lay claim to Canada.
“Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner,” Trudeau wrote in a post on X Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, the incoming president was asked whether he would consider using “military force” to annex Canada, given Trump’s refusal to rule out resorting to such measures to secure control of Greenland and the Panama Canal.
 Artificially drawn line: really? “No. Economic force, because Canada and the United States, that would really be something,” Trump said at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., where he recommitted to imposing steep tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his America-first agenda when he returns to the White House later this month.
“You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like … it would also be much better for national security.”
Trump went on to state that the U.S. spends “hundreds of billions” of dollars to “protect” and “take care of Canada,” clarifying that while the U.S. has “no right” to claim a sovereign nation, Canada should simply become an American state if it is receiving so much support from its southern neighbour.
Trump said he asked Trudeau, during the prime minister’s trip to Florida in late November, what would happen if the U.S. were to no longer “subsidize” Canada.
“I said, ‘What would happen if we didn’t do it?’ He said, ‘Canada would dissolve,’” Trump said.
“They send us hundreds of thousands of cars. They make a lot of money with that. They send us a lot of other things that we don’t need. We don’t need their milk. We got a lot of milk. We’ve got a lot of everything, and we don’t need any of it,” the president-elect added.
The Gazette asks:
Just how ignorant is this man? He doesn’t understand the Constitution he is sworn to protect. He doesn’t think he is subject to the decision of a jury and is now taking on Imperial airs – and he hasn’t even been sworn in. By the time he is sworn in he will have been found to be a convicted felon – on the 10th we will learn what the judge is going to hand out as a sentence. Let him run the country virtually from Alaska before Canada annexes that state from America.

For nearly 10 years, Justin Trudeau governed in the rear-view mirror, driving slowly in the left lane to prevent the NDP from overtaking, but letting lots of traffic by on the right.
Trudeau would regularly speak in progressive liberal tones, contrasting himself to conservatives.
But pretty words weren’t backed by action. His swerves were to preserve himself, not to maneouver to a new position from which to better accomplish his goals for Canadians. He had no such goals, except to have them elect him again.
A party of strategic centrism, not liberalism
 Trudeau would regularly speak in progressive liberal tones, contrasting himself to conservatives. With no vision for reshaping government or Canadian society, the Liberals operated by reaction, buffeted by crisis after crisis rather than pushing through them with eyes set on their political North Pole.
Justin Trudeau was not a liberal, though he could speak like one. In actions, he was a centrist, but not one of policy practicality who borrows from different traditions to reach objectives. Rather, his centrism was one of strategy and freedom of maneuver.
Trudeau said he would help working people join the middle class, but stood back while inflation ravaged paycheques and home ownership dreams disappeared.
He called himself a feminist and a proponent of reconciliation, but fired the strongest women in cabinet and fought against Indigenous kids in court.
He was a defender of healthcare but gave premiers healthcare dollars that they spent on tax cuts or spa palaces – whatever they wished.
He declared himself against the separatists and conservatives but sabotaged electoral reform that would have crushed the Bloc Quebecois and sidelined the Conservatives.
The Liberal Party let down actual liberals, who were habitually abandoned and betrayed.
Ironically, Singh’s fights with Trudeau created his legacy
 If a Trudeau legacy exists, If a Trudeau legacy exists, it’s the one the NDP had to fight with him to create.
For years, Jagmeet Singh’s NDP fought Trudeau over childcare, dental care, pharamacare and anti-scab laws. Singh’s NDP campaigned on them, tabled private members bills about them, put motions and petitions to the Commons. They endlessly fought the Liberals over them.
The Liberals were against them all until the moment they discovered their survival depended upon being in favour, when they immediately tried to claim credit. Even then, Singh twice had to threaten to bring down the Liberal government if written and signed promises weren’t kept.
Liberal Party loyalty always lay with Trudeau’s machinations
The claim is often made the Liberal Party of Canada died somewhere around 2009 to be resurrected as the Justin Trudeau Party.
 Certainly as Trudeau careened and swerved, with eyes focused in the rear-view mirror, blocking all attempted passing, the current Liberal MPs stuck with him through it all. Certainly as Trudeau careened and swerved, with eyes focused in the rear-view mirror, blocking all attempted passing, the current Liberal MPs stuck with him through it all.
When Jody Wilson-Raybould was kicked out of cabinet and caucus, anonymously and personally attacked for refusing to interfere in a criminal prosecution, only one other Liberal MP stood with her. She’s also gone.
The rest stuck with Trudeau, waiting to turn on him after the NDP committed to defeat him, after it was obvious Trudeau would quit, after there was a power vacuum their ambitions sought to fill.
An election is now coming. One choice is cuts by Poilievre. The other is Singh’s NDP, which fought Trudeau, battles proven by the wins no one in the upcoming Liberal leader race had the courage to fight for.

For an early bird price of $139., you can ski from Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm., throughout the season.
If you missed the early bird date you can still buy a senior weekday pass, valid until the end of the season, for $201.
It has been about 10 months since my last ski. About halfway down the hill, on my first run, the existential question “Why am I here?” popped into my mind. By the third run, the endorphins had kicked in and I started having fun.
One question remains, will I be too stiff to walk tomorrow?

 In the Trudeau years, the Canadian economy grew by 41 per cent, to $3.2 trillion. It grew by just 18 per cent under Trudeau’s predecessor, Stephen Harper, who governed for roughly the same amount of time.
Per capita income grew by more than 23 per cent on Trudeau’s watch, to $77,700, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Trudeau’s predecessor managed only a 7.6 per cent increase.
In the main, Canadians became wealthier in the Trudeau years. The median net worth of Canadians soared by about 66 per cent between 2016 and 2023, to $519,000, according to Statistics Canada.
Trudeau came to office with a mandate to engage in deficit spending and spend he did on both physical and social infrastructure.

Elections are going to take place.
When, no one knows for certain – but it s clear that there will be elections at the federal and provincial levels.
Election fund raising tends to come from two sources: large thick wallet corporate donors or smaller sums from individuals that, on occasion, in the past proven to be a winning formula.
The reality is that the big bucks from the big corporations are what pay for the cost of running an election. They pony up because the donation gives them access – and with access things get done.

When Parliament returns on January 27th both the NDP and the Tories are promising duelling confidence motions to bring the government down. If either one of these is successful Canadians will be into a winter/spring election campaign which could last as long as 51days.
 Justin Trudeau will soon have time to drive the car his father left him. Mr. Trudeau is in the driver’s seat at the moment but his options are limited:
- Show up when Parliament resumes and face a non-confidence motion which he’ll lose resulting in an early election – which he also is likely to lose;
- Show up when Parliament resumes and immediately prorogue on the rationale that strong leadership is needed to defend the country from President Trump’s 25% tariff – it’s not the time for an election. Parliament could theoretically be prorogued until the next election date in October; or
- Announce retirement plans and set a date for a leadership convention before Parliament resumes, then prorogue until a new leader is chosen.
