Are you a good role model or just a role model?

As a parent of 4 growing kids, it’s always been important to me to be a good role model to them. I’m not perfect, but I do try my best most of the time to show them how they should behave in public and in life. Do you have the same beliefs? If you’ve never…



Canada’s Worst Driver 8…the updates

So here it is; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is the 8th year that people try to prove to others they aren’t bad drivers or try to get the much needed help they or other people wish they could get. I like to think that by watching what these drivers do, others who…



Canada’s Worst Driver…8

Well, it’s happening again; another season of Canada’s Worst Driver. This is the 8th season. When I first appeared as a judge during their first 3 seasons, I never thought it would last this long.

Some drivers need a good talking to!

Honk twice if you like peace and quiet. I brake for garage sales. None of these are of my opinion, I’ve just noticed them on bumper stickers. I’m not a fan of bumper stickers and never really have been. I don’t like the glue residue they leave on the vehicle and some people really try…



Come on drivers, impress me!

Every now and then we see things that impress us throughout our lives. We see people helping total strangers in their time of need, which is very impressive within our society. Many people feel they either don’t want to get involved or just don’t know what to do to help. I was impressed a few…
