A simple question for this Canada Day four day weekend...well, for me at least. Some of you are in the cube farm enjoying your Coffee Mate enhanced alertness beverage while others are in the bush with a 26er of rye, screaming kids, rain soaked cheerios and smelly clothes. Things should run better …

So there you are. Half the year gone already. How many years do you have? How many half years? The days are already getting shorter, too. Gather ye rosebuds while you may.  •  Update: This SCC ruling today on defamation is quite extraordinary...and I am not sure the court cited authority for this …

This seems to be the position of the Federal Conservatives as of yesterday. See, just because Stephen Harper doesn't tell you what his policies are doesn't mean hs is not telling others:  •  "We believe in a strong, united, independent and free Canada with a Quebec that is confident ... autonomous …

I had no idea you were so dependent. A flood of emails have struck my gmail right in the mid-section screaming "Where are the Friday Bullets???" It was tough yesterday. I don't have internet addiction so much as blog admin addiction. I get the shakes when I can't patch into the rear end of this …

Of the valuing of shade and water and a radish. Of attempting home repairs you have no business doing.  •  You know …

Funny how the pros do not buy the "not in the nature of the country to investigate private individuals" line:  •  “"...it's important to understand that the RCMP is alive to the fact that organized crime, some terrorist groups, are proactive – even strategic – in trying to access our public …

I wrote the other day about how Ontario needs to get selfish within confederation. I've noted in the past how at some point my family sends around $8,000 a year into the budget for inter-provincial equalization transfers, a position which I am both grateful and a little frustrated with. But …
