Something every PR person should see - neonazi's are back

So for those of you following world politics you know that Greece just held it's elections. Unfortunately I have to write this post quickly so I can't get in to all the implications (although they aren't good), but suffice to say the take away for me was that Greece's neonazi party - Golden Dawn -  won seven per cent of the vote and are now part of the government.

I mean, wtf, the nazi's are back? Well, they aren't Hitler's Nazis, but still.

Anyway, here is the press conference they held after their 'victory'. Can you imagine holding a press conference and yelling at reporters to stand and show respect?



It's mind boggling this is what things are coming to. Yet as every era in history has shown us, when people are subjected to poverty and suffering (when they had a taste of decent living), they tend to rise up - sometimes under the leadership of someone good, and sometimes under the ravings of madmen.

A quick search on YouTube brings up some ominous videos foreshadowing the type of sentiment that backs this so-called neonazi Golden Dawn.

All I can say is Thank You Goldman Sachs and George Bush for screwing the world up so badly that the Nazis are now back on the scene (and by thank you I really mean F-You).

Unbelievable.

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

E-cigarettes: A PR battle Health Canada cannot win?

So I've now been using an e-cigarette (e-cig) for two months and thought I'd talk a bit about how I see the upcoming battle between Health Canada and e-cigs going. First though, let's do a quick overview of what exactly an e-cig is. Basically an e-cig vaporizes liquid that contains nicotine. The vapor is then inhaled. People who use e-cigs are called vapers (not smokers). Because the liquid is atomized (ie. vaporized), not burned the way tobacco is, vapers do not consider themselves 'smokers' in anyway. An e-cig is comprised of basically three components: The tank - this is the component that holds the juice (sometimes referred to as e-juice or e-liquid). The atomizer - this a coil and wick unit that atomizes the juice. When the coil is heated (from the battery) it atomizes the juice that has soaked into the wick. The battery - batteries for e-cigs come in various capacities (some last 8 hours, others 40+ hours, depending on their size).  The ba...
