  Mon, 02 Jan 2012
  
  'Twas almost the New Year and thanks to the ice…the driving was tricky, not very nice. Cars slipping and sliding, some out of control…the unlucky, like us, maybe kissing a pole!' For those who have driven for any length of time in the Great White North, it's likely, at some point, you've experienced that feeling [...] more...

• EX-MAS! P.S.,B.S.!
  Sun, 04 Dec 2011
  
  For those who like to wail about the war on Christmas, here's something else to get you hoppin'. An Ottawa area school, Cambridge P.S. in Embrun, has pulled the plug on its' annual Christmas concert. Replacing the annual, festive event, will be a "holiday-themed craft night" and a "nondenominational concert", sometime in February. The reason's a [...] more...
  
  
• Mayor Makes Pitch To Legalize Pot!
  Sun, 27 Nov 2011
  
  Out in B.C this past week, some big guns sounded off, in support of the legalization of pot. In a letter to all of British Columbia's MP's, MLA's, mayors and Councillors, four former Vancouver mayors stated, that "Marijuana prohibition is - without question - a failed policy" In support of 'Stop the Violence B. C.', [...] more...
  
  
• Pakistan Pulls Plug On "Profane" Texting!
  Sun, 20 Nov 2011
  
  It may still be OK to fart in Pakistan, but texting a friend about the experience, is now a no-no! The less offensive 'F' word is just one, of about 15-hundred English and Urdu words, banned by the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority… and cellphone companies have been told to block all text messages containing the 'obscenities'!

• Iran's Pursuit of Nukes May Draw Fire!
  Tue, 15 Nov 2011
  
  If Iran's leadership truly believes it can defy the world and pursue its' plans to build nuclear weapons, and avoid a military conflict…its' collective 'nuttiness' is greater than suspected! For the first time ever, the United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency says, it now suspects that Iran IS conducting secret experiments, specific to the production [...] more...
  
  
• "...Can't Handle The Truth!"
  Sun, 06 Nov 2011
  
  While the truth may set you free, it could come at a price.  Like, cost you your job! Major-General Pete Fuller, who was second in command of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, got the axe Friday, for having the courage to call a spade, a spade. During a recent interview with the website Politico, he dared [...] more...
  
  
• Mayor Miffed With 22-Minutes!
  Mon, 31 Oct 2011
  
  When the gang of CBC's 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' showed up in the driveway of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford last Monday, no-one could have predicted the nonsense to follow. Refusing to play ball with the comedy crew in one of their 'ambush the politician' bits, an irritated Ford stormed back into his house… and [...] more...
  
  
• Gaddafi's Gone...Let It Go!
  Wed, 26 Oct 2011
  
  So, the new Libyan leadership, caving in to calls from abroad, (the U.N., Amnesty International, etc.) will investigate the death of their recently departed dictator, one Moammar Gaddafi. Video evidence shows, though bloodied by his overzealous, rebel captors, the Colonel, when caught, was alive and kickin'.  And then he wasn't… taken out by a bullet [...] more...
  
  
• T.O. says N-O to O.T.!
  Wed, 19 Oct 2011
  
  It'll probably go down in the books as one of the biggest non-events in the city's history… "Occupy Toronto" is a bust. It kicked off with great expectations, hoping to mirror the massive protest on Wall Street…. it didn't happen. Only a very, very, very small fraction of the city's "99-percenters" (all who aren't filthy [...] more...

• Did the French Magazine Get What it Deserved?
  Mon, 7 Nov 2011
  
  In a free society, few will argue that Charlie, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't have the right to poke fun and freedom of expression should be defended. But having the RIGHT to do something doesn't always make it right. And it's certainly no shield against retaliation. Right, Charlie? more...

• Dopey War on Drugs
  Fri, 14 Oct 2011
  
  I don't buy for one second that the big minds on the House Judiciary Committee actually believe this bit of nonsense will help turn the war on drugs, an effort that was doomed to failure from the get-go. People want what people want, and no number of laws, no matter how strictly enforced, will stop them from getting it. more...

• Last Word on Jack Layton
  Mon, 29 Aug 2011
  
  A lot has been said about the kind of grief Canadians have been showing for Jack Layton. Is it contrived? Why such public spectacles? Is it a true outpouring of emotion? For some it seemed clear they wanted their 15 minutes of fame and would grieve publicly and put on a performance for the cameras. more...

  Tue, 23 Aug 2011
  
  Following the riots that tore through the heart of Her Majesty's realm, Cameron came out swingin'. He told the world that England wouldn't tolerate this kind of behaviour. Now, if we could only get you this side of the pond to deal with the Vancouver riot, I'm sure things would move along a little quicker. more...
  
  
• Once a Separatist, Always a Separatist?
  Wed, 10 Aug 2011
  
  Minister of Transport Denis Lebel's Bloc Québécois story differs from that of Nycole Turmel's. He walked away from the separatist gang more than a decade ago, not months ago. And, of course, the biggest difference between them is that he's not the leader of the party. more...
  
  
• Why Rob Ford's Flip Off Is a Big Political Fumble
  Fri, 29 Jul 2011
  
  While the mayor fessed up to talking on a cell phone while driving, he claimed giving "the bird" to a taxpayer was a "misunderstanding." So, he did it, but didn't mean it? The offended taxpayer wasn't his target, just collateral damage? Sorry Mr. Mayor, what we have here is a failure to communicate more...

  Tue, 12 Jul 2011
  
  While some feel there is a serious issue of freedom of expression at play in Brian Coldin's nudity case, there is a time and place to express yourself. I'm no prude, but the sight of some dude with his 'pendulum' a-sway for all to behold, is something I can live without! more...
