On the morning of Sunday, 8 March 2009 at 01:00, Daylight Saving Time begins in Ontario and clocks are to be set ahead one hour. It is amazing that we still practice this ludicrous event semi-annually.  Daylight Saving Time saves NOTHING.  Never has, never will.  It's just annoying.  Worse, it's...

A commenter responds to Hilzoy. "Going Galt" is the conservative version of "Moving to France." Lots of people talk about it, but no one has the balls to actually do it. Actually that's not quite right. I've had to suffer far more stupid white liberals threatening to to "Move to Canada" than to Fran...

This morning I was making my daily trip up Metcalfe St. when a bit of a fender-bender occurred, about 4 car-lengths ahead of me in the middle lane.  Not a problem, these things happen (although later, when I would pass the two cars, there was no obvious damage and the two women involved seemed to b...

This one isn't about weird American evangelists.  This is much more mainstream. What the fuck is wrong with these religious yahoos?

But for chrissakes, so-called liberal Americans, equating "...

Look, it's a talking dinosaur... but he's not purple, he sure doesn't love you and me, and we're definitely not one big family. The Phelpses and their Westboro Baptist Lunatics are working on picketing the National Day of Mourning for the Australian bush fires.  Fred and the gang think it is God's ...

What is with all the bollocks about Michael Phelps?  A sponsor is dropping him, the sherriff is investigating him, it makes CNN and Canadian news.  The guy smoked some weed.  That really prompts me to ask the all-important question: WHO THE FUCK CARES? I mean that.  Seriously.  Wow, he smokes m...

Now in convenient game form....

... for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, yadda yadda. My previous post elicited an excellent comment that I thought worthy of spawning another post: Obviously, the problem with this is that most Canadians want Quebec as part of their country. I think that only a tiny minority of Canad...
