By Louis Avallone
Since the day after the presidential election, the number of e-mails I’ve received has steadily grown. Nearly 5,000 e-mails now, and the number of messages on my Facebook page has risen into the hundreds.

GET COMFORTABLE WITH IT

By Louis Avallone

WHY BREXIT?

Reclaiming our identity, pride, key to our own future

By Louis Avallone
What is the EU? Well, I’m glad you asked, because it wasn’t exactly what I thought it was. For starters, the EU is an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries.
