All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Flu Shots Your Choice Make The Right One.

Every year, Powers that be and its pawns  get a little bit more aggressive in their push for full compliance with the flu vaccine agenda. And this year, they are targeting faith-based groups and the leaders of such groups, which include pastors, priests, rabbis, and imams — to promote flu vaccines to their members during religious services, and even to partner with local drug stores to hold flu vaccine clinics.

It is simply amazing that so many folks are still willing to go out and subject their body to a vaccine that is far from being proven to doing what they suggest it is dong.  I wouldn’t hesitate  to say that there is more behind these folks wanting you to get the shot than just concerns about your health.  I believe that the folks that have taken the flu shots over the past few years will in turn pay dearly.  The body can handle the modern day flu and colds all on its own. It always has and always will.   The more we keep putting these drugs into our system the weaker our body becomes and in turn we all become more sicker.  My opinion only.

News around Port Loring

Nothing Much to speak of is happening. Most folks are out shopping taking in the sights of what lies ahead, buying up all the sales that happen to be on their lists.  I am thinking even though our economy isn’t the greatest at the moment folks are still spending on gifts this year.  Stores are full of folks buying which is a good sign.  Thing one has to remember, is that for most parts our media of today is something that sways folks minds.  For myself I know my limits, what to spend, what not to and never take what they are saying  to heart.  If more folks did that our economy would be right up there with the best of others.  My Opinion Only. Have a great day and if that sun happens to show itself, get out there, roll up your sleeves and get a bit on your skin.  Much needed this time of year.  Have a great day my friends.
