Our guest speaker today…

Our guest speaker today is an expert on how salt can have a lethal effect on our health.

Ignatieff’s problem

A good speech isn't going to change the fact that Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae are Canada's political "Odd Couple."

Justice, bail and the media

Justice Rosalie Abella is correct in disagreeing with her supreme Court colleagues on the bail ruling. It does indeed constitute "a profound interference with the open court principle."

FAKING IT!

A fake-lake for the G-Fakes! Great! Just what we need in this land of real lakes. This will also set a precedent for future G-Fake meetings. A few fake mountains for BC. Fake pines for New Brunswick. A fake potato-patch for PEI. Fake politicians for Ottawa. Oops! I almost forgot, the place is already swarming with them.

Why would a general carry a rifle in the first place?

It's a very serious offence for a soldier to accidentally fire his rifle, especially in the presence of his commanding officer.

The Duchess of Dork

The ding-a-ling Duchess is a dorkus-maximus as all the Palace knows, they're still in shock from those sexy-pics of some guy sucking her toes.

Sexy Tennis

The widespread criticism of Venus Williams' tennis attire is nothing compared to the shock waves that American tennis champion Gertrude (AKA Gorgeous Gussie) Moran caused when she showed a glimpse of her frilly lace-panties in Wimbledon in 1949.

TOWN AND COUNTRY

Tramping through the sweet-grass to the swimming-hole sitting on the river bank with my fishing pole swinging on the oak tree splashing in the creek running in the wildwood playing hide-and-seek

Traffic control

While an expanded and integrated regional transit-system is a must, I think the traffic problem could also be improved if we paid a little less attention to the biking-bunch and a little more attention to car owners. No matter how good a public transit system is, the car will remain top choice for the majority.

Kim Jong Il

The world has long been stymied trying to figure out what makes Kim Jong il tick. Now we know. He is a secret Islamist and Osama bin Laden fan, hell-bent on committing suicide.

Elected dictators, Canadian style, versus Uncle Sam’s checks and balances

Since the U.S, unlike Canada, is blessed with a system of checks and balances, thus ensuring that no president, no matter how popular he might be, can impose his agenda on the nation without the consent of both Houses of Congress. Our neighbors would really have something to shout about if they had to contend with a Canadian style government where there is nothing to stop a prime minister, when he heads a majority government, from ramming through whatever bill he pleases.

Damn Politicians!

Damn politicians! Just because they are for the birds, doesn't mean the birds are for them to use in their partisan squabbling. The Tories, Grits and Pinkies have no right to label the non-partisan red-tailed hawk, blue jay and loon as political symbols.

NATIVE ANGST

LOST Old ways, like distant drums, faintly call through the mist of tribal memory. Ancient language lost, leaving no tongue to tell epic tales of big sky filled with eagles

Who Should Fill The Post?

While Major-General Lewis MacKenzie would be an excellent choice for governor general, I think, in the interest of national unity, the post should be filled by someone from Western Canada.

Quakes and Flakes

Iranian MENSA candidates blame scantily dressed women for causing earthquakes.

PSYCHIC STORM

It hit me like a sudden thunderclap from within. My heart began hammering like a demented drummer. I could hardly breathe, I felt sure I was going to explode into a million bits and pieces.

THE CUL-DE-SAC DUDE

Health Care Is Not Free

Of course it isn't, and it never was. Health care is very expensive, and so long as people think it's free, they'll continue to abuse it. Handing health care over to the insurance companies is a recipe for disaster for those who cannot afford it and even for many of those who think they can.

Ann Coulter Coverage

Ann Coulter must love the Canadian media for all the coverage they gave her recent visit here. She can only dream of that degree of exposure in the U.S. media.
