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.

X-Rays

First off I am against any X Rays  if they are not really proven necessary.  I feel there is to many folks now being subjected to radiation for no reason.  Just wished i knew back then what I  know now as every X Ray that I have had through out my life would have never been done on me. I would have said  no back then as I do today.  Take a look at this  article.  My Opinion Only

The use of MRIs, X-rays or CT scans provides no benefit in diagnosing patients with routine back pain, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the Oregon Health and Science University and published in the journal Lancet.

Helping Big Banks & Corporations

Another reason why folks should be really wondering why our governments are helping out these big banks.  Through my eyes the government has no right in spending our tax dollars to help these banks.  I know this is in the USA but it is happening here in Canada too.   Take a look, then read Thomas Jefferson’s  quote on how he feels of helping banks.  Hmm, I wonder if I am related in some small way?  My opinion only.

Barack Obama’s Administration will announce its latest economic rescue plan today by offering private investors vast government-backed loans to buy as much as $1 trillion of toxic assets from America’s stricken banks.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.”

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”

“I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our constitution – taking from the federal government their power of borrowing.”

-Thomas Jefferson

Flags & Shirts Made Off Shore Hmm……….

First our Flags being made off shore and now our shirts that our police wear. I got to tell you, this Dalton gang sure are a piece of work.  I am sure there is a Canadian company that would love to have the order to make shirts and flags right here in Canada. My Opinion Only.

Premier Dalton McGuinty admitted Friday it was a mistake for Ontario’s legislative assembly to start buying provincial flags that were made in China, but defended the decision to buy Asian-made shirts for Ontario Provincial Police uniforms.

Chocolate Is Good For You, Pure Cocoa That Is

I have always figured a nice hot cup of cocoa is sure good for what ails a feller. Take a look at this article.

Studies have now proven that chocolate is good for you. It is rich in antioxidants and has many health benefits, including lowering blood sugar and cholesterol. Cocoa comes from the Theobromo cacao plant. Half of the cocoa bean is made of fat in the form of cocoa butter. Cocoa powder is the edible non-fat part of the cacao bean. Most of the fats in chocolate are saturated, but it also contains lots of the “good” fats: oleic and linoleic acids.
