Falling Poppies
I have been having problems with my Rememberance Day poppy. It keeps falling off, especially when I’m wearing a jacket. I can’t seem to figure out the proper way of securing it on my shirt. I have tried pointing the pin down (Hoping gravity would keep it attached), I tried pointing the pin sideways too. ...
Unhappy Democrats = Canadian Refugees?
I heard an American say that if Bush wins the election, he will be moving to Canada. At first I was like “ha ha”. But apparently it’s not so much of a joke. There is actually a news article that discusses American Democrats emigrating to Canada. Here is the article: Link If I drive by ...
Classic Canadian stunt!
A Canadian man at the Los Angeles Airport that was upset that he was refused a plane ticket to Australia stripped naked, hopped a barbed wire fence, sprinted across the tarmac and climbed into the wheel well of a moving jumbo jet. Here is the full story: Link
The difference between cats and dogs
Why are dogs a much better pet to have than a cat? I’ve made some observations (since we have both a cat and a dog in the house). When a cat is going to throw up, there is usually quite the build up. It’s almost like the damn thing is having a heart attack, heaving ...

My brother Tom is dressed up as a Special Forces Counter-Terrorist agent. We’re going to Devil’s Martini this evening, so if you’re looking for something to do in the Toronto ...
We’ll always remember you Opa
On Wednesday, October 29th, 2003, one year ago today, my Opa (Grandpa) passed away peacefully in his sleep in his 77th year. His name was Cornelis (Case) Veldhuizen. He had a very profound impact on my life. I spoke at his funeral, and I wanted to share my words from that day last year. “Over ...
Big Brothers of Toronto
I have recently joined the Big Brothers program here in Toronto. I wanted to urge anyone that this might interest to become a Big Brother or a Big Sister. I just spoke to the coordinator and in Toronto, there are a very large number of little brothers waiting for a match, and there are literally ...
