I’m gay and I would blame Doug Ford for avoiding Toronto’s Pride Parade
Josh Dehaas just wrote an op-ed piece in the National Post entitled, “I’m gay and I wouldn’t blame Doug Ford for avoiding Toronto’s Pride Parade.” In which he sadly denigrates the very community he claims to be from. I assume it’s probably to drum up populist readership. What is apparent …
Thoughts on retirement
I’m mini-retired. I quit my job and I’m just living off of savings. I’m not working at all, but it won’t be permanent, so it’s not semi-retirement but “mini-retirement”. It might seem a bit ludicrous; leaving a job that paid well, had good benefits and allowed me to work with …
