By Melinda Bane (WINDSOR, ON) – Once upon a time there was a school called Roseland. It was a wonderful school where the teachers were kind and thoughtful and the students happily arrived each day eager to learn. Until one day when it was discovered that *gasp* there was a Desk Snoop amongst the older [...]
By Melinda Bane (WINDSOR, ON) – And suddenly, I’m surrounded by crazy. *sigh* This fluoride debate has really opened my eyes and I am not sure I like what I see. It doesn’t matter which side of the debate you are on, many of you missed the real point here: We, the People, must not [...]
By Melinda Bane (WINDSOR, ON) – So, here I am, minding my own business reading the news and what do I come across on the CBC News website? “Millions in Military Manufacturing Comes to Windsor”.

By Melinda Bane (WINDSOR, ON) – There are theories a-plenty going around right now about why Sandra lost her leadership bid to Kathleen Wynne. I may as well toss in my two cents too. I don’t think she lost. I think a back room decision was made to give the leadership to Wynne. It didn’t [...]

Politicians will recite their solemn prepared speeches to honour them. There are television specials and movies about war. The media will seek out local veterans [...]
By Melinda Bane (WINDSOR, ON) – Oh, the outrage. The travesty of it all! The Province has stopped funding the horseracing industry and now they HAVE to kill all the horses. Do they? Really? It seems to me that the dying industry is trying to tear out our hearts by publicizing their choice to destroy [...]
By Melinda Bane (WINDSOR, ON) – An adorable puppy named Buster was beaten. He was hurt pretty badly when police found him. I won’t go into the details of his injuries because that is not what this story is about. This story is about what we do with those people who commit such acts. This [...]
