I was kind of curious about where he was going.  I heard a DJ on the radio talking about the long weekend that was coming up and how it wasn't just another long weekend. This was a very special long weekend because of what it represented.  This is getting interesting, I thought. Then he added…

Emile Ratelband doesn’t feel that who he is lines up with what his birth certificate says about him.  And so last year he set out to have his birth certificate changed to reflect his reality of who he actually was.  And the courts denied his request. Ratelband didn’t want his birth certificate changed to reflect his preferred gender,…

Sixteen lives were lost and other lives were changed forever.  Families were shattered, a nation was heartbroken and now justice has been served. Or has it? That afternoon sixteen members of the Humboldt Broncos died because twenty-nine-year-old Jaskirat Singh Sidhu failed to stop.  There was a stop sign and a flashing light, apparently Sidhu didn’t…

It was a tragedy.  Fifty people killed because of the faith they practiced.  You would think that would be a newsworthy event.  Apparently not.  You’d think maybe such actions would be condemned by political and religious leaders.  Again, apparently not.  The silence around the event has been deafening.  And you are thinking: Oh no Denn, there…

I was at the Blue Cross office the other day when I was greeted with a smile by a strange lady. By strange I mean she was a lady I was not acquainted with, not necessarily a peculiar lady. Although not being acquainted with her she may have been strange and strange. Although I digress.…

Have you noticed lately how much more daylight we are seeing? Each day it's getting light earlier and staying light longer and as Martha would say: That's a good thing. Spring is not only an awesome time of the year but it's also a great metaphor for life. No matter how dark, cold and long…
