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.

Genetically Engineered Food

If there is one thing that stands out among the rest which we should be up in arms about is, Genetically Modified Food.  If we let this to continue we will be at the mearsy of every drug company in the world.  Not a good thing folks as if allowed to continue these Powers That Be will be able to control the food chain.  .  They can then inject the seeds with what ever they want you to eat.  Control of human beings.  That in my mind is what it is all about. Below is a few things that you should know but there is hundreds of other things too.  I will bring them to your attention as time goes by. Best thing you can do is not buy anything that has been modified.  You body will be glad you did.  My Opinion Only.

1. Genetically engineered food does not have to be labeled.
2. Most processed foods (boxed cereals, chips, cookies, frozen dinners, etc.) utilize corn, soy, canola and cottonseed oil which all have genetically modified ingredients.
3. High levels of pesticides are used in GMOs.
4. Use of antibiotics in GMO development – problem there being low-doses of antibiotics in foods make antibiotics less effective in humans. So when you realy need them they won’t work.
5. New intolerance to allergies – crossing plant genes bring on new strains of allergies in consumers.

So don’t be fooled folks, your the only ones that can make it all go away.

Broccoli & Tomatoes Has The Potential To Halt Most Cancers In Their Tracks.

Research has suggested cruciferous vegetables (which include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale and cabbage) have potent cancer-fighting properties. For example, there’s evidence now that broccoli sprouts can stop the colonization of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a type of bacteria believed to trigger cases of stomach cancer as well as many ulcers.  Also tomaotes and brocccoli together in my eyes are the best protection that anyone could eat for most all cancers.  One bowl full twice a week is all that is required.  Now I been saying this for years just no one seems to listen.  But then again who am I just an old feller that has grown my own food for most my life.

Hard To Believe But It’s True.

SO ‘Pathetically’ TRUE………………

We’re “broke” & can’t help our own Seniors,
Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,?????????

In the last months we have provided aid to
Haiti , Chile , and Turkey .

Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’
receive no aid nor do they get any breaks
while our government and religious
organizations pour Hundreds of Millions of
$$$$$’s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of adoptable children
who are shoved aside to make room for
the adoption of foreign orphans.

CANADA: a country where we have
homeless without shelter,  children going
to bed hungry, elderly going without
‘needed’ meds, and mentally ill without
treatment -etc,etc.
YET……………….
They have a ‘Benefit’ for the people of Haiti
on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining
up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding,,
doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT*  gave ‘US’
the same support they give to other
countries.

Sad isn’t it?

Home Sales Continue To Drop

Actual house sales activity was down 19.7% in June 2010 from a year ago, but the price of a home has rose just 4.9% from a year ago. Now if a feller or gal gets to lookin’ at these figures it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the problem here.  First off the new HST didn’t help any, but the main reason is that homes today are selling for way to much money and folks have reached their limits of how much they can put towards a home.  Simple as that.  One other thing that has caught my attention is that the homes of today are twice the size as one needs.  Today though one doesn’t think ahead, they go for looks, keeping up with the Jone’s and things like that.  Big homes that could hold around fifteen people with only two to four living in them.  The upkeep alone would put  a feller or gal in the poor house.  My Opinion Only
