Carey has been half of the KICX 106 morning show team for the past decade. When not “on air” – she enjoys spending her time “on water.” Boating on Georgian Bay is one of the passions she shares with her partner Chris and their little Jack-huahua, Buddy. She also enjoys a glass of wine, an occasional round of golf, hot tubbing in winter, and a competitive game of Scrabble – although not necessarily in that order!

TSWS Fee Freeze Worrisome for this Boater

As a Georgian Bay boater, I am very interested in the goings on at Canada Parks as it relates to the operation of both Georgian Bay Islands National Park and the Trent-Severn Waterway. This story appeared this week in the Orillia Packet and Times: http://www.orilliapacket.com/2013/05/15/current-trent-severn-waterway-lockage-rates-to-remain-frozen-until-2017 I know that Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton worked diligently [...]

Happy Mothers Day to my Moms!

I wrote this in 2011 – but it still rings true today. Happy Mothers Day to my Moms: As we approach Mothers Day - I have been thinking of how fortunate I was to have been blessed with three exceptional mothers. Each woman has given me different gifts, and I am lucky to have had them, or [...]

Some Motherly Advice for Kathleen, Tim and Andrea

Sunday is Mothers’ Day, and I’d like to give our provincial leaders a little motherly advice. Enough with the demands Andrea! And Tim, shouldn’t you at least look at something before you make a decision about it? And Kathleen, grow a backbone. Kathleen Wynne’s minority Liberal government are coming under fire on a couple of [...]

Pondering Life Before Death

In my job, I’m sent a lot of press releases and event notices – but never before has one intrigued me as much as one I saw recently from Autism Ontario. The fundraiser is being held Thursday night at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto. Ten people – all prominent members of the community with [...]

Onside With Cherry

I agree with Don Cherry. Girls should not be allowed in pro sports dressing rooms. Cherry tried to clarify his position last night on Coach’s Corner on Hockey Night in Canada. He didn’t do a great job, but what I got from him is that there are goings on in the dressing room that women [...]

Red, Blue or Purple? – Politicians are Colour Blind

  If they were children instead of just acting like it – I would send them to their rooms to “think about it” I am referring to Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau – and their reactions to each other’s reaction to the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Shortly after the bombings, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau [...]

Honouring Local Women

A great night last night at the Brooklea Golf and Country Club in Midland, site of the 2013 Meridian Business Women of the Year Awards. The event is into its 6th year, and continues to grow each year – this year a sold out event. I feel honoured to be asked back to co-host the [...]

Open Letter to PM Stephen Harper

Open Letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper “I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left” ~ Margaret Thatcher – former (Conservative) British Prime Minister. Dear Mr. Harper, I am writing to stand up to [...]

Meet Your New Big Brother

Apparently I have a big brother – and his name is Jim. You also have a big brother named Jim, although he isn’t really part of your family. If I were buying a home or renewing my mortgage today, I would be significantly ticked off at Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. When he learned that [...]

The Making of a Pope

I’m more of a heathen than a Catholic, but even so, I was riveted by the selection of the new Pope. After all, the Pope is a world leader, and historically a man of great influence. At one time he even commanded an army that rivaled the largest forces in Europe, and made decisions that [...]
