Flaherty imposes new tax on income trusts
Hey Jim, thanks a lot for the impending plummetting of my income trust investments tomorrow. Good job! Seriously, I knew the children, the environment, the low income households, the sick (I could go on.., ok one more), and canines would get the shaft from “Canada’s New Government”, […]
It is the thought that counts
Boing Boing: African tech billionaire offers $5 mil for best African prez
The hope is that cash incentives for good governance might serve as a counter-balance and change the ways of those presidents that are instead ilegally making millions from oil, diamonds, illegal contracts and corruption.
Seriously, the perpetual illegal millions from oil, diamonds, and corruption or […]
Canadian Military Fit is as can be
Military drops fitness test for new recruits
Looks like all those donuts and double-doubles at the Tim Horton’s in Kandahar are fatting up our military. So to be fair to the new recuits back home the fitness test has been dropped. So if you can’t do 19 pushups, 19 situps, and run a couple […]
Campbell on HNIC
CBC.ca | Cassie Campbell makes history as HNIC analyst
I’d like to congratulate Cassie Campbell on her performance in the booth Saturday night on HNIC for the Leafs vs. Flames game. In addition to being the first woman colour commentator on HNIC, she was a fresh voice and nice change to Harry Neale. Harry […]
Pigoline
Philoneist: EXCLUSIVE: Nascar Fuel Expert Claims Invention of “Pigoline” Gas
Forget biodiesel, gasoline made from pig shit… too cool, finally closing the loop. Gives a new definition to waste not, want not.

Remember, vote for George for the Gemini Viewers Choice […]
CBC.ca Feedback works, maybe
Now I’m not sure if it was due to me or just the journalist’s wording, but let’s say it was me, here’s why…
If you recall my gripe about software “glitches”, well a few days later this article came down my river of news: CBC.ca - CIBC bank machines working after software glitch.
So I clicked on […]
Bait n’ Switch, Scrap and Screen
CBC.ca | Harper set to impose ’strict’ regulations on smog producers
Seems like our government has learned a lot from the Bush administration. As i’ve previously mentioned the lack of access to the parliamentary press gallary, “Canada’s New Government” (not my branding, its theirs) is now doing the same with respect to the environment.
First […]
In the lead of the followers
CBC.ca | Soldiers’ deaths in Afghanistan the price of leadership: Harper
So if Canada is one of the countries the yeilds influence and is a leader in the world then it would have been at the EU3+3 meeting on Iran, but alas it was not. So the way I figure it, Canada has a leadership […]
Gone Fishin’
CBC.ca | Bush seeks halt to bottom trawling
Let’s add this up, just so that we are all clear…. Against destructive fishing practices, but for cluster bombing of Afgans, Iraqis, and Lebanese, and responsible for nuclear proliferation. Got it.
