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.

Colder Weather For Port Loring George’s Prediction

Well we had a few days of warmer weather now we will have about four days of colder weather.  Tonight and tomorrow and maybe the next day the temperatures will go down to below 0 old scale. Then look for a warm up a bit.  Ok with me as I don’t have to stoke the old wood furnace as much when it warms up some. But for the next few days, up through the night is going to be called for.  Have  a great day.

Warmer Weather For Port Loring Ontario

Just thought I would take a look for weather signs while out for a walk the other day and all point to a few days of nice weather starting tomorrow, so no reason now not to get out there and go for a walk yourselves.  Don’t plant your tomatoes yet though.    Enjoy.

We Did It, CRTC Decision Will Be Reversed !!!!!!

A controversial CRTC decision that effectively imposed usage-based Internet billing on small service providers will be reversed. Well folks let me tell ya, for once we as a whole have pulled off a great victory for the little guy.  I have to say I am proud of each and every one of you, who took the time to sigh petitions and help spreading the word.  Makes my day and gives me a little more faith in human nature.  You did it folks.  See what happens when 357,000 people pull together. Well maybe I should say, lets just wait a wee bit longer to make sure. Looks good though.

Bell Shareholder Versus Teksavvy Gotta’ Watch This

Alright here is a link that will take you to a news video.  What you have to do to save time, is at the bottom of the video screen, slide the bar across to where it says 35 minutes. Watch the rest from there.  There is  a Bell shareholder on there that makes you angry but keep watching, it gets better when Teksavvy comes on there in defence of us little guys.  A definite watch. make sure you do.
