It used to be that the most important conversation to have with your children was the birds and the bees.
However, that topic has been far surpassed by the wolves and the sheep.
Sheep are so darn cute and fuzzy, but they are not very smart (the attached video link should serve as irrefutable evidence on this point), and are therefore easy prey.
Wolves are cunning and vicious. Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were no match...
It used to be that someone who consistently followed the major news broadcasts was considered "well informed".
Nowadays, those who take the news at face value are dreadfully misinformed.
Fake news is all too common these days. For example, on Feb. 24, it was widely reported that 13 Ukrainians defending Snake Island were slaughtered after reportedly telling Russians aboard an approaching warship to "Go f--- yourself!" What a sad but inspiring story!
The remarkable story was attributed...
We are fast approaching two years since the world was turned upside-down by the COVID-19 pandemic. It seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. I remember being in Edmonton, Alberta, to speak at a construction law conference in early March 2020. By this time, there had been increasing talk of a novel coronavirus that had emerged in China, and had made its way to North America, with a few stops on the...
Yeah, you are right – that's a pretty cocky headline. But, ironically, the reason I can say such a thing is because we at BIG Media practise intellectual humility. We listen more closely to our critics than our fans. And we employ the scientific method in our work, constantly trying to prove ourselves wrong as we assemble our content.
If you can find another media outlet that covered any of these topics more accurately and with more...
I have noticed that a lot of people are still using expressions related to the current health crisis that are, like, so 2021. So I present to you today the TOP 5 PHRASES THAT SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM THE COMMON VERNACULAR:
5. "I am doing this not for me but for you." – BS! Unless your name is Mother Teresa or Gandhi, please stop pretending to be a superhero selflessly looking out for the rest...
Being trustworthy is one of the key indicators of leadership success and a fundamental element of successful relationships between leaders and followers. When leaders are considered trustworthy, they unlock co-operation and increase openness and mutual acceptance with those they wish to lead.
In assessing government leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems trust levels have dropped. Two polls conducted in May of 2021 in the U.S.and Canadaindicated that faith in government is deteriorating. The U.S....
One year ago today, we went live with what we intended to be a very trustworthy source of news as well as a site at which members could engage in constructive, respectful discussion.
It has been no walk in the park, but I believe we have accomplished those objectives.
I will start with my most sincere THANK YOU:
to my brilliant business partner Laurie Weston, who added an important level of intelligence to my idealistic ambition...
As I constructed the business plan for a truth/respect-focused platform, I had countless people tell me that it is impossible for a media company to be objective in its reporting.
I beg to differ. While it is impossible to completely eliminate bias, our business model uniquely positions BIG Media (yes, there is irony in the company name) to present spin-free, factual information on the big issues. With that in mind, I present ...
The Top 11 Ways...
It's not easy having a conversation with someone who has bought into climate alarmism hook, line, and sinker.
With mainstream media and politicians doing such a good job of fear mongering and virtue signalling, I can't blame them for believing that we are on the brink of environmental catastrophe.
But it is essential that the well-informed among us speak up against the misinformation that causes so much harm on so many levels.

There has never been a more important time for business operators to ensure that their mission-critical data is backed up in a very secure place. You might want to consider emergency planning measures while you are at it.
In the simplest terms, the Russian government is not thrilled with the idea that the federal governments of the United States and Canada are throwing major support behind Ukraine as Russian troops gather in large numbers along...
