So long Paul
With the right united, and the Liberal drift to the right under Paul Martin’s watch, ended up spliting the leftist vote between his Liberals and the NDP. The result is the end of yet another Liberal dynasty (the are the most successful political party in the world). Paul fulfilled his familial destiny, by […]
Oh Sandra
CBC Arts: ‘Brokeback Mountain’ leads at Golden Globes
Napean’s own Sandra Oh won a Golden Globe tonight for her work on Grey’s Anatomy. She’s earned it, she’s the best on the show. Her rants and what she blurts out sometimes… classic.

The REAL third alternative
Jack Layton goes on and on about the NDP being the alternative to a Liberal or Conservative vote. I wish theses guys had not been removed from the Registry of Canadian Political Parties, I’d fully support their platform - except I’d pave Saskatchewan, it’s flater which makes for better ball hockey games.

The Leader Debate — not plural
CBC - Canada Votes 2006
Can the real Leader please stand up… Gilles you can’t be Prime Minister, please sit down.
