Ent-Politics: U.S. Priorities demystified
Tue, 11 Dec 2007

After a recent brief trip across the border, I would like to offer up the following:

  1. Firearms (hunting rifles, say) can be found on the shelf (Walmart.)
  2. Alcohol is found on the shelf (every other store.)
  3. Prophylactics are within locked glass enclosures (K-Mart.)

Neo-con agenda explained!

Now, one thing I should add -- crossing into the US via the Peace Bridge and back out via the Rainbow Bridge, there was no line-up whatsoever (great timing eh?) On the way in they looked at our birth certificates and waved us in, taking all of 30 seconds. On the way back into Canada the friendly border agent didn't even take our ID at all. With all the horror stories of security nightmares, it makes you wonder ..

Baalzebush: Is this for real? Stunning. Just awesome. Awesome to the max.
Thu, 17 May 2007

I heard a quote, and wasn't sure so headed onto our friend Google (obviously the prime tool for terrorasts.) I'm sure this is a real site, I mean, Teh Real Whitehouse, because you just can't make up this stuff

They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

Dubya. You da man.

Politics: Heroic or Arrogant?
Tue, 05 Jul 2005

Open mouth, insert foot :) But the perfect thing to say right after Independence Day in the US perhaps ...

Over lunch, within the sphere of people I know, we tend to get into a lot of debates -- bickering over culture or history or politics or movies or operating systems or philosophy or whoknowswhat .. but once in awhile a debate will come up that eventually meanders around to being a discussion about inter-country intrigue. (For the record I'm two kilos liberal, half a pound old fashioned, and a bucket of mixed altruism, pragmatism and intelligism. Clear as mud-pie? :)

Rant: Escape from New York 2005
Wed, 11 May 2005

I know - I know - who am I as a Canadian to comment on American politics? This is just the usual reading-too-many-news-sites-and-getting-sucked-in silliness, but what the heck..

Well, they're sure fun to watch sometimes (did you notice I put the politics category under Entertainment here?), and the US is our greatest ally and largest trading partner, so we really should be supportive or at least paying attention. Further still, the Americans are really a lot like us .. essentially the same background with shared borders (and vacation spots.. how many of us have driven to the US for shopping or to hit up Vegas?) ... just with a government that has a backbone (and is a trifle over-eagre to get into a fight.) The US is Canada's Big Brother in every sense of the word.

Politics: Government Scandle 2005 (will it be out done by Scandle 2006?)
Wed, 11 May 2005

I'm sure the news media is making more of this whole Liberal scandle than the population at large is, but its certainly too alarming a series of events to just 'let go' despite our apathy. Our Canadian approach to things is generally to be nice to something, maybe poke it with a stick a few times and then leave it be - but when our government is very likely illegally throwing our very hard come by tax bullion to the dogs, we should forcibly remove them if they don't have the honour to step down.
