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.

Unrecognized Dangers of Formaldehyde

 

January 28, 2011


The Cancer Prevention Coalition today is drawing public attention to a two page article in the New York Times, “When Wrinkle-Free Clothing Also Means Formaldehyde Fumes,” published on December 10, 2010, which stated that “formaldehyde is commonly found in a broad range of consumer products.” These include sheets, pillow cases, and drapes, besides “personal care products like shampoos, lotions, and eye shadows.”

CRTC’s Internet Billing Decision Appealed

The federal government is being formally asked to overturn a CRTC decision that will force smaller Internet service providers to charge similar usage-based fees as Bell, Rogers and Shaw.

Hmmm, lets hope now the Feds will do something about it other than just sit back and let this continue to happen.   If not well lets say this, election time isn’t far off.   Keep on writing them letters folks maybe just maybe they might hear us.   My Opinion Only
