The newspaper industry has a problem, but it鈥檚 not what most people think. More than anything else, the newspaper industry in North America has an ownership problem. Long known by those in the industry, the public watched this story explode a little over a week ago. The spark? A series of editorials in the Denver Post blasting their owners, a hedge-fund called Alden Global Capital.

Justin Trudeau promised he would fix the crime problem during the election campaign of 2015. Unfortunately lawful gun owners of Canada make easy targets for an easy Liberal crime control fix. C-71 targets the lawful firearm owner, leaving out the criminal use of firearms. Not a single line in the Act refers to violent criminals or their illegal misuse of firearms. The $2 billion dollar Liberal gun registry has taught the Liberal Party absolutely nothing.

鈥淓very minus is half of a plus, waiting for a stroke of vertical awareness.鈥� Alan Cohen (author of 14 popular inspirational books, contributing writer for 鈥楥hicken Soup for the Soul鈥�, columnist and seminar leader on spiritual awakening and visionary living.) There are days when I need this simple reminder, every minus is half a plus. Sometimes I need it for myself and sometimes I need to share it with others. Most of us take a set back seriously. That鈥檚 okay as long as it challenges us to think further, and not crumple in defeat.

In the past few months, I鈥檝e had a couple of people send me news articles they鈥檝e found online and ask me if I thought they were true. In each case, some investigation revealed that they were in fact completely fabricated. The whole phenomenon of 鈥渇ake news鈥� is recent and while slants and biases have probably existed since the first newspapers, today we find ourselves in uncharted waters. On the internet today, you don鈥檛 have to look hard to find 鈥渘ews鈥� that is completely made up, but packaged to make readers believe that it is real.

A number of people have asked 鈥淗ow do you do all that you do?鈥� It鈥檚 a fair question as I am now 70 years old and involved in a number of activities. The 鈥淗ow do you do it all鈥� question is a matter of perspective. Back in 1979, I, or more precisely, we, were a lot busier than we are are now. We means my wife and I and back in those days, it also involved our two, then pre-teen boys.
