Uncle Bob’s Rant

By Uncle Bob

Uncle Bob

A lifelong resident of the area, Uncle Bob worked hard, fought for freedom and democracy, raised a family, and contributed far too much money to lazy politicians and stupid government programs. He writes the column to try to rectify some of the long list of wrongs he sees in the world … and maybe to shame the politicos into giving back some of the money they regularly steal from decent people. Not that he’s holding his breath.

A self-confessed curmudgeon, Uncle Bob is a man of many opinions, all of them “100 per cent right.” His column, he maintains, reflects the views of the silent majority who aren’t Toronto lefties who work in the media.

Blurb

By Heather Calder

Heather Calder

The urge to write a blog hits many; in Heather Calder’s case she can’t resist telling you what’s on her mind. A news junkie and chatterbox, she sees Blurb as the opportunity to share some ideas and opinions. It’s going to be short, frequent, and punchy – and promote some kind of positive idea, as every good blurb should do.

Heather is married to the Observer, literally; she and the production manager have been married for 10 years and remember fondly the newspaper’s birth. She is currently attending the Faculty of Education at York part-time and staying home with her two boys part-time.
