  • “Put the arguments aside…”

    I appreciate that The Oz puts a range of views on its editorial page so that there is usually something for everyone, but I have to say that the superficiality and phenomenal ignorance of Ms Katrina Grace Kelly does try the nerves. It was her first four words that captured just how dull what she…

  • Our media is as pro-lockdown, pro-mandate as Justin Trudeau

    So Southern Ontario with its flat featureless terrain. But all these years later, it is still as familiar as home.
