  - jim Young As per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Sections #36 & #37, President Trump is ineligible for entry to Canada based on his criminal record. Mr. Trump has been convicted of sexual abuse, and 34 counts of fraud in the United States. However, the IRPA provides for exceptions and special circumstances that can be taken into account. President Trump is a World Leader who is scheduled to attend the G7 Summit to be held in Kananaskis, Alberta beginning June 13. Special consideration will undoubtedly be a factor in the decision to determine if Mr. Trump is eligible to enter Canada. Canadian Law, however, was not written with the intent of providing exceptions except where warranted. In addition to provisions that are allowed for special consideration in accordance with the IRPA there are many other factors that must also be taken into account. One of the considerations that can be taken into account when reviewing entry status for a convicted felon is th...

 

 

 

 

- jim Young “Sometimes when I fall asleep, I know what’s waiting for me, Praying on my hands and knees, The dark my soul to keep.” - Lynn, Quistad, Miracle and Warsnop Gone are the days when all you had to do was book a studio for a couple of hours to record and press a record if you wanted to release a song. To get really noticed in the highly competitive music business these days, you also need a professional video to go along with your song. Nashville country musician Royale Lynn (originally from Aylmer, Ontario), who is gravitating more towards hard rock/heavy metal these days, recently teamed up with Danny Worsnop, formerly of the English heavy metal bands, “Asking Alexandria” and “We Are Harlot” to create a new song “Death Wish”. "Death Wish" (Official Music Video) - Royale Lynn & Danny Worsnop Written by Lynn, Quistad, Miracle and Warsnop, “Deathwish” is a tribute to first responders around the world who put their lives on the line every day, often at the risk of t...

- jim Young “What are the three best methods of communication? Telegraph, Telephone and Tell-a-Woman.” - anon When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876 it may have been the most significant of modern inventions at the time. For the first time, friends and neighbours that were more than just a backyard divided by a picket fence away were able to personally contact each other to share greetings, gossip and news in real time. In 1928 the Bell Telephone Co. ran lines from Toronto to Montreal and by 1931 Canada led the world with more telephone calls per capita, a distinction Canada held for 11 consecutive years.   When the Trans Canada Telephone was formed just a year later in 1932, phone calls could be made to any point in Canada over Canadian lines. But just as with any new technology, there were naysayers that suggested the telephone was evil. Many people wouldn’t go near the telephone as they were afraid of getting an electrical shock. Others predicted it would...

 

 

 

 

“Et tu, Brute?” - attributed to Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare  No. Not that kind of Caesar. The Canadian Kind. If it’s not yet or still, “National Caesar Day” when you are reading this, don’t fret. The Caesar is a cocktail enjoyed by over 400 million Canadians every year. Or maybe it’s just 100 Canadians drinking 4 million every year. I don’t know. Suffice it to say there are over 400 million Caesars served in Canada every year. I am currently writing a book called “Cocktails For Two: Belly Up To The Bar” that is scheduled to be released later this year. In it, you will find recipes for about 100 cocktails along with many tips for serving them, stories of their origins and related trivia like the excerpt I have included here for the Caesar. Many cocktails were created with little thought and sometimes even less time as a bartender will throw together a few ingredients (with at least one being a spirit of some kind) and unwittingly come up with a winner. Ofttimes an award wi...
