- RIM From 10,000 Feet December 1, 2011Inventors always want to protect their ideas so that only they can capitalize on them; however, that may be misguided. In the history of recent technology, being the “first in” has proven to be of no advantage – possibly even a disadvantage. At one time, there was a very good operating system called CPM that […]mediaguy
- Retire With Purpose October 17, 2011Recently a friend of mine retired from his job as an editor at the CBC. He had worked there for more than 30 years dodging layoffs and cutbacks to complete a full tenure at the Corporation. In fact, Mark worked for an additional 3 years beyond the required service even though he was ready in […]mediaguy
- An Anonymous Commentor wrote this skillful description of our world. October 16, 2011I had to publish this since it was so well said….. “Never before has the global financial system been so interlinked and integrated, which means that problems in one part of the world are capable of causing severe stress almost everywhere else. ” That’s globalism for you, folks. That’s what the globalists have forced upon […]mediaguy
- On October 6th……. September 15, 2011“The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.” Cicero – 55 BC Recently a friend from San Diego sent me a similar quote about the state of Rome in the era of Cicero. A little research revealed that the original quote (as shown […]mediaguy
- Is There Religious Freedom in Canada?? August 15, 2011Recently, I inquired about posting a film screening notice at the Stanley Park Community Centre. The attendant aggressively questioned if the film was religious (I gave her no reason to believe it was). I almost had to “swear an oath” that there was no religious content in the film before she would post the flyer […]mediaguy
- You May be Getting “Crammed” and Not Know It. July 15, 2011A few weeks ago in this column, I wrote about businesses who regularly take advantage of Canadians and who seem to get away with it because of their size. One of those companies I named was Bell Canada. Recently, the multi-media conglomerate was fined $10,000,000 (the maximum allowed by law) for deceptive advertising practises. Bell […]mediaguy
- Some Tough Questions – Some Tough Decisions June 15, 2011June will be the first month of parliament for a government which is eager to get things done. Although I am pleased that we now have a functioning government, I am cautious about the Conservative’s position on Cap and Trade. Prior to the federal election, the Canadian Science Advisory Board advised the Conservative government to […]mediaguy
- A New Charter of Rights May 26, 2011A few months ago, I rented a car in Costa Rica. To my surprise, the car rental company offered to provide me with a mobile phone for 30 days with unlimited calling anywhere in the country for just $10. I was shocked at how economical it was to provide the service. When I inquired about […]mediaguy
- Building The Future On The Past April 26, 2011There has been a lot of talk about growth in Wilmot Township recently with many references to the province’s “Places to Grow” policy. The foundational principles of the document are to restrict growth in agricultural areas and to intensify growth in urban areas. There is abundant evidence that this policy is highly flawed and is […]mediaguy
- Politics From 10,000 Feet – Corruption March 10, 2011Waterloo Region has a whole new team of enthusiastic politicians eager to make their mark on the political fabric of our communities. I have high expectations for the good that can come from even one persistent, skilled, visionary leader. I think of Ira Needles and Jerry Hagey, co-founders of the University of Waterloo, whose positive […]mediaguy

Building Peace, Preventing War
In 1976, Ernie and Nancy Regehr returned to Canada from a 3 year term in South Africa and Zambia. The 70s were a tumultuous season of the beginnings of change, marked by a heightened awareness in the western world for human rights such as apartheid, relief of poverty, and greater corporate responsibility. The Regehrs were [...]
Leading The Great Reformation
For the past 30 years I have been fascinated with how individuals are gifted with certain strengths, and how all people have a unique set of talents, abilities, and motivations. Within this quest for understanding about giftedness, I discovered the “forerunner”. Although I was familiar with the forerunners of the Bible such as Elijah, John [...]
