I have become very weary of being perpetually assaulted, all day long, and being utterly helpless to defend myself from the onslaught. If it isn’t advertisers shoving things I don’t want down my throat, it’s the bank ramming their hands in my pockets. The media fills my eyes and ears with sights and sounds that [...]

Before I get into my increasingly radical antipathy towards the NHL and NHLPA and their callous disregard for brain injury risks, I’d like you to spend a few moments watching this gratuitous display of intent to injure at a bantam hockey game in Kelowna last month involving teenagers. It will properly explain what I am [...]

Either that, or we are raising a generation of wimps! ———————————- By Robert Marquand | Christian Science Monitor When the Titanic went down [...]

EthicalOil.org thinks only Canadians should be permitted to take part in the tarsands climate debate, which would exclude anyone or any group involving foreign resources or money. An organization called EthicalOil.org has attacked “foreigners and their [...]

Clearly, the people living in Attawapiskat are existing in a crisis that represents Canada’s dysfunctional relationship with the first peoples. How can we truly “fix” Attawapiskat? By fixing the underlying broken relationship. Occupying #Attawapiskat in Twitter two weeks ago was a great start to engaging in serious improvements. Phase two begins now with a call [...]

Dear Readers; Some people work real hard for any recognition or awards that they get. Others just seem to come by them naturally. This guy obviously didn’t put a whole lot of effort, or thought, into what got him the award for “Asshole of the Day!” ——————————————————— A  man is facing multiple charges, including Impaired [...]

Dear Readers; Your ever curious writer monitors several religious sites to get the lowdown on what nonsense and atrocities are happening in the spiritual world. The Westboro Baptists Church and their “God Hates Fags” campaign is always good for a laugh, while on the serious side the antics of the religious right in the States [...]
