Will’s Thoughts – War On Drugs And Thugs Is A Limp Wristed Action In my opinion, Canada either needs to declare ‘war’ on illegal drugs, or give them to users as legal prescriptions. For decades we’ve heard about what is called a war on drugs, but really, all it has been is a limp wristed ‘military action’ on minor thugs. …
Will’s Thoughts – Thinking Things Through Before Doing Them I reckon there is virtue in thinking things through before doing them: I have learned that the formula for human activity is 96% action, 4% thought. Now, I’m a big fan of ‘gittin’ things dun’, but not before thinking them through a bit. It took decades for me to arrive at …
Will’s Thought’s – Tips On How To Have Fun With Telemarketers Crazy Lady spent last week off in Edmonton visiting her kin, which, given what I did to the house the last time she was away, must be a nail-biting experience for her. For me, it has given great credibility to my skill at deceiving myself into thinking that I’m …

Will’s Thoughts – Things Learned From Garage Sales I have learned a things lot from garage sales. I have learned to be able to read microscopic signs folded over by the wind from 200 yards away while doing 50 km/h. I have learned to spot balloons through shrubbery and parked vehicles from blocks away. I have learned the names of …
Will’s Thoughts – Men Becoming Real Men By Being Real Dads It’s time for men to become real men by being real dads: This Father’s Day, ask yourself if you are simply a biological father, or a true Dad.

Will’s Thoughts – The Health Care Crisis In Canada My son asked me why health care in Canada is in crisis. I told him, “Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians.” I explained that when universal health care began in Canada, it was looked after entirely at the federal level. Ottawa gave the money directly to doctors, hospitals and health care …
Will’s Thoughts – Forcing Children To Act Like A Parent To Other Children Is Child Abuse I talked to my brother John on my birthday. It was the first time in almost two decades. It’s not that we don’t love each other, it’s just kind of how life led us. Talking to him did what it usually does, opened dark …
Will’s Thoughts – Mother’s Day And The Woman Who Saved His Soul My biological parents loved us, but sometimes love just isn’t enough. Both of their souls had been ravaged by World War II.
