Watch my life unravel...

Apparently Maria McRae is going to be running again for City Councilor in River Ward. (She’s the incumbent.) During the last municipal election I emailed both candidates with questions, and based my vote on their responses. I wasn’t particularly impressed with either of them, but I voted for Blake Batson, the guy who lost. I […] Awhile back, I was out for brunch with a group of bloggers, and someone asked me about the Hartman’s Piano. This was the piano at the Hartman’s grocery store at Bank & Somerset. For years it was a community instrument in a small community-oriented corner of the grocery store. And then suddenly it was gone, […] By now you’ve probably heard that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is axing the mandatory long-form Census questionnaire, supposedly in the name of safeguarding the privacy of Canadians. It’s remarkable all the fake problems this man finds to “fix” while ignoring very real problems like climate change. His tough-on-crime legislation is a classic example. He’s spending […] On Wednesday GC and I attended a demonstration outside the police station, to show our support for the democratic rights of freedom of assembly and free speech.

Personally, I find it utterly contemptible that Toronto’s police chief lied […] As you know, I spent much of the weekend watching birds having sex. But that wasn’t all I did. I also spent a fair amount of time glued to my computer, monitoring the constant stream of Twitter updates from protesters and journalists at the G8/G20 protests in Toronto. Trying to make sense of it. At […] I first heard about George Guirguis (City Council candidate in Bay Ward) from David Reevely’s blog, when he shared some of the strange emails coming out of that campaign. Reevely also linked to Guirguis’ campaign video. Well, now he has fifty campaign videos on Youtube. They’re so bizarre. I haven’t watched them all, but from what […]
Photo: Corridor We were in Montreal for a few hours on Sunday to celebrate an anniversary, and while we were there we were treated to a tour of the Ovo fertility clinic. (Someone in GC’s family works there.) You should see this place. It was designed by architects who really took off with the theme of […] GC and I popped over to Carleton U yesterday afternoon to catch some of the presentation about the proposed redevelopment of Lansdowne Park. I haven’t paid much attention to the Lansdowne development issue, so I’m just throwing my opinion out there without the benefit of context. Take it with a grain of salt. The presentation was […] Have you been following the American Tea Party movement? What a freak show. And here’s the Tea Party Dictionary – illustrated by their own misspelled signs, some of which are pretty funny, in a creepy sort of way. Sometimes I wonder how America got so screwed up, and what we can do to prevent it from happening […] |
