If you hadn’t heard, the Toronto Blue Jays are in the post season for the first time in 22 years. If you don’t care, I won’t argue, but I care so please keep reading as this blog isn’t about the Blue Jays, it’s about a remarkable young man pictured above, Marcus Stroman. I wanted to […]

I don’t usually focus too much on “Days”, even though my dear friend and colleague, Mike Kerr reminds us every day what “Day” it is. Today (October 5, 2015) is World Teacher Day. I hope you don’t mind my taking to the soapbox for some gushing words on the importance of teachers…especially mine. I’m sure […]

I made a promise to be more positive in my blogs rather than just “rant” because I do not rant on stage and my blogs became incongruent with my life’s work. The trouble is that I opened my daily online news site this Monday morning with the first story being about yet another tale of […]

Welcome to the 2015 Canadian Federal Election Campaign. I am not a “political” speaker as being politically correct on stage is paramount and […]

If you follow my blogs at all you probably know I don’t do too many. I certainly don’t focus on them in the Summer as I am trying to focus on some time off at our cottage. I excel at doing nothing. Yet, I had a nice surprise at a recent event where I was […]

Today is my wife, Darlene, and my 22nd wedding anniversary so I am going to be very self-serving here to honour the person who not only changed my personal life, but my business one as well. There will be some definite cheese here but on a profound business note, how many people can say they […]

We are so excited to introduce our new website. There really wasn’t anything “wrong” with the old one except it was…old! I’m not old, although 55th birthday approaching, but in December 2014, a “young” man pointed out you couldn’t access alvinlaw.com on mobile devices and apparently, they are the tool of choice for the majority […]
