    They are the washer women of politics.  They may be male, or any group of pronouns you want to use, but if you listen to them their words are really those of a professional washer.  “Washing is the process of conveying a false impression or misleading information about how your thoughts, ideas, opinions or desires…

    It is comforting to see that the ultra-wealthy that are attempting to overtake the halls of power globally are finally being referred to as the “morbidly wealthy”.  In the late 19th century they were called “the Captains of Industry” however, at the beginning of the 20th century a new term was coined.  It took some…

    At a recent meeting Ron St. Pierre used the following statement in introducing himself:  “I’m Ron St. Pierre, a life long recovering racist!”  The room went quiet and I inwardly smiled.  I have never been that brutally honest about myself even though I have spent the last ten or fifteen years examining my preference/prejudices as…

    “Some years ago, I was stuck on a crosstown bus in New York City during rush hour. Traffic was barely moving. The bus was filled with cold, tired people who were deeply irritated with one another, with the world itself. Two men barked at each other about a shove that might or might not have…

    The O.D.D. Spectrum In watching the political spectrum swing around and with elections held at different moments in the arc of these movements it is a concern that very little research is focused on the influence of candidates on the O.D.D. spectrum (Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Adults: ODD Symptoms, Causes) and their rise and fall…

    There are moments in life when sounds and images flash and bring insights totally separate from their original purpose.  Some will call them ear/eye worms.  In and of themselves they seem to hold little or no importance yet, they often create flashes of insights.  Not everyone will take elections seriously.  They might even vote, but…

    It took some time but we have the results of the BC General election 2024.  We have a new government – 93 Members of the Legislative Assembly have been elected (I know the final results from two judicial recounts are still pending but likely will not change the faces in the legislature).  The 93 are…

    Yesterday the elections gods smiled on the people of British Columbia and gave us a reminder of who makes up the government of the province.  It is not the ones who capture the most seats, since nobody did, rather the government is made up of the 93 Members of the Legislative Assembly that were elected…
