| McGuinty Government Strengthens Democratic Rights for Ontarians Travelling Abroad |
Spring 2010 > Issue 74
In 2002, the Canadian Snowbird Association issued its inaugural edition of The Canadian Travellers Report Card. The report card, as most of you know, is an evaluation of government policy and practice for Canadians who travel. One of the biggest concerns identified in the Ontario section was the fact that Ontario was the only jurisdiction in North America that did not allow mail-in voting during provincial elections. Now think about that for a second. Mail-in voting was permissible in EVERY other Canadian province and territory, all 50 American states, and in Mexico, but not in the province of Ontario. Read more

I have to be honest. I was never a particular fan of Barack Obama and I simply couldn’t share in the mass euphoria when the man was elected. Of course, it was an iconic triumph for a black man to become president of a country that, 150 years earlier, had institutionalized slavery, but there are any number of gifted men and women of colour who could run for this or any office.

Fall 2009 > Issue 72
A freelance journalist with four children and a wife who works part time. In other words, for the longest time, the idea of me having any investments was as absurd as hockey being a truly international sport. It was only after my parents had passed away and my sister and I sold mum and dad’s house that I could pay off the VISA bill, put some money in the bank and give $175,000 to a terribly nice man who placed it in something called a portfolio. It’s almost funny, really. Read more

I suppose it says a great deal about Canadian politics that the country's two major parties are currently led by genuine intellectuals. What it says, I'm not entirely sure – probably that genuine intellectuals can't think of anything better to do than lead major political parties in Canada Read more

Winter 2008 > Issue 69
I think we’ve all noticed that the air smells sweeter, our hair is thicker and food tastier now that he whose name we speak in hushed tones has been elected to the presidency. The man, of course, who "baracked" our world. Obama. Now let us all chant the word together in one glorious symphony of praise. Obama! The point being that whatever the man’s qualities – and they are many – the adoration splashed over him was a little disproportionate. Yet if it was extreme in the United States, it was even more so in Canada. Barack Obama received around 55% of the vote in his home country but, in Canada, his popularity was above 80%. Read more

| Absentee Mail-in Ballots by 2011 |
Summer 2007 > Issue 63
Ontario snowbirds won't be able to send an absentee mail-in ballot for this fall's Oct. 10 election. But a Conservative member of the Ontario legislature hopes that they will be able to do so by the next provincial vote in 2011. Read more
