Don’t Live in the Past!
From the editor… I’ve now read “13 Ways to Kill Your Community” cover to cover, and I’ve got to say, it has really hit me in the gut. The author could have been talking about our village in pretty much any one of the chapters! This little book...
“Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner”
The old man in the hat Rob Ford. If you don’t recognize the name, you must not watch TV, have an internet connection, no Facebook and no Twitter account. Lucky you. Mr. Ford is mayor of Toronto, that fair, magical city, in a province that recently joined us...
Agriculture vs Agribusiness
