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.

HST Just Another Way Of Raising Taxes, Simple As That

The Liberals are not helping anyone or anything in bringing in this HST. It will simply mean that we will be paying higher taxes on hundreds of goods and services, including gasoline, heating fuel, fast food value meals, and legal and other professional fees, well to many to name here in my Blog. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that folks here in Ontario just love being taxed, as they keep on voting in folks that raise them. Some say hey, look at all we have here in Ontario. I say what we got we should have had with out all these high taxes. All that raising taxes does is keep folks working 24/7, no time to think of what is going on around them, that sums it up in a nutshell. They don’t want you to think or become self efficient, they want you to have to depend on them. But if you like working 24/7 and paying these high taxes, well then keep on voting for those type of folks. Just makes me shake my head. My Opinion Only

7.5 Billion Dollar Aid Package For Pakistan. Kind Of Makes You Think, Huh?

U.S. President Barack Obama has signed into law a $7.5 billion aid package for Pakistan.
You would think this new Government would be looking after its own before spending huge amounts of dollars on other countries. But hey! Who am I, we have enough problems of our own here in Canada. Just thought I would throw in my two cents.

Fluoride & How It Should Be Seen.

Did you know that the fluoride chemical commonly added to municipal water supplies is actually an EPA-regulated toxic waste chemical? If it wasn’t sold to cities to be dumped into the water, it would have to be disposed of under stringent (and expensive) hazardous waste guidelines. People who handle the fluoride liquid are advised to wear chem suits to protect them from this extremely toxic substance. Dumping fluoride chemicals into a local river is a violation of federal law, but dumping it into the public water supply is somehow approved as “good for public health.” Good article and should make you think.
