The powerful teeth tear at your soft flesh, as you clutch your heart and scream at the sky. This is love in all its glory and the… Continue reading I bring you love

ta oil and gas industry for their "understanding" during what is sure to be difficult days of transition. Pardon me if I don’t share Anderson’s enthusiasm. The Klein government seems to believe in the adage, "Words speak louder than actions."

The sky is clouded over. Small snowflakes fall from above and, as each one lands on my cheek, it melts to join the tears that are present. The cold stings my flesh but I don’t notice. I look at the people around me and think, "why?" Their old, withered faces have seen so much death,… Continue reading Your holiday for two generations of lives
