Cutting through the hazebetween Ukraine and Russia
31.03.2022
TORONTO – It is remarkable how eerily similar President Biden’s State of the Union Address was to the Canadian House of Commons’ take note debate on Ukraine o February 28. Both were heavy on emotion, condemnation and “rah-rah” for the...
“Apprehended Insurrection”,October Crisis 1970 and Today”

Change Minister (Lecce)or change advisors
17.01.2022
The provincial election is June 2, four and a half months away. That will explain everything one needs to know to understand the government’s “puzzling” recent decisions re the Omicron variant. There will be no Science Table or “Science experts”...

Hating Catholics and Italians – Lecce’s Formula for Political Advancement
17.06.2021
TORONTO – “Che vergogna!” How disgusting; how embarrassing; how disrespectful; how shameful – take your pick of the translation. That was the response of one writer on our editorial board when we looked at the TCDSB Assistive Technology Website, Connections...

Catholic Church and Catholic schools

Political Fraud in Schools and the Church
14.05.2021

Hamilton Bishop, Douglas Crosby, leads Schism in Catholic Church
29.04.2021
It is frankly of little concern to me personally how, if or on what Bishop Crosby’s views differ from the Vatican’s official views on Catholicism. He does not return phone calls or respond to email questions from press like ours. We are a secular newspaper....
Gender identification health and welfare

TCDSB, the problem with “cherry-picking” from Reports – a secular perspective
15.11.2020
Acting on Minister Lecce’s contentious (it may be a serious overstepping of jurisdictional authority) public demand that the Board release an investigator’s report on the Trustee Del Grande’s Code of Conduct issue, and following heated Board meeting ending at 2:30...

31.10.2020

28.07.2020

Embarrassment, shame, and unexplainable conduct
05.07.2020
SI NEWS – TORONTO Thank you, Covid-19, your visit – happily, and seemingly, coming to a much-anticipated end – has laid bare the rot that lies beneath the surface of our institutions. We will be able to bid adieu to...
Theatre of the absurd: Conservative Party of Canada Internal Politics
23.06.2020
SI NEWS – TORONTO By Joe Volpe  What a lamentable process to select a “new player” in the game of determining the future of Canada. Call me Quixotic, but no parliamentary democracy can function without healthy – adversarial – debate....
