Brandt’s Randt – Don’t Let the Door Hit You
Some of Ontario’s doctors are looking for work outside of Ontario, even in the U.S., now that they’re being told by their governing body that they have to refer terminally ill patients to a doctor who will help them end their lives. Â I hope every one of them leave fast. …

Share Humanity
Every time I read another declaration from a US Republican about refugees, I feel the need to balance it out by making a charitable donation or suppressing a bit of gossip – something that’s an effort toward doing good for my fellow humans. …

A Bit of a Rant – Window to Anarchy
The question of right and wrong has come up in so many different issues in the past couple of weeks. Â I don’t even understand the question. The answer, to me, is crystal clear. We need to decide on morals as a society. Not based on any religious-based book or perspective of some small group on the fringe, but as human beings who know, in their hearts, the differences between right and wrong. Â …

Trumped
After last week’s Republican presidential nominees debate, the top 10 of them anyway, will Americans finally see through the muskrat-topped blowhard, Donald Trump? …
