Ho Hum
2007-04-21 22:19:00 You know it’s been a slow week when the Liberals are up in arms about: Stephen Harper’s image consultant Shane Doan and Team Canada I suppose when one has no scandals or RCMP investigations to concentrate on one must take whatever one can get. *sigh* More About: News , Politics
All That Glitters ?
2007-04-20 02:58:00 A few points about the new snazzy looking Liberal web site. While it is indeed an improvement over the old one the claim that “It is the only political website in Canada to be internationally W3C standards-compliant and fully accessible by the visually impaired” is not true. I am a moderator in a help forum ... More About: Software , Politics , Internet , Technology , Computers
Environmental Saviour
2007-04-19 13:18:00 Loading... The ad says, “Dion brought 182 countries together to fight climate change. Stephane Dion and Canada’s Liberals.” Wow. That would be the same Liberals under whose watch Canada’s emissions rose to over 30% above 1990 levels. That would be the same document that the world’s worst offenders aren’t even signatories to. direct [link] More About: Politics , Global Warming , International , Environmental , Menta

Beefs and Bouquets: Green Style
2007-04-16 02:45:00 A couple of notes on the Green Party, one good and one not so good. First of all congratulations to Elizabeth May and the Greens for their position on Kevin Potvin. Shortly after the controversy broke over Potvin’s article I was taken aback by May’s “… benefit of the doubt” remark and took her to ... More About: Style , Beef , Bouquets
Stats Fun 2
2007-04-15 03:56:00 Back in February I did a post on the stats generated by this blog. Being a stats freak I thought it would be fun to once again poke around in the server logs to see what profound insight might be gleaned from the exercise. Nothing unusual or odd was uncovered.

Interesting Strategy
2007-04-14 02:30:00 A rather interesting albeit unusual alliance. In explaining the move Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said, “The crisis of climate change is an urgent one. There is no time to waste.” So is she saying that she has no confidence in a Liberal candidate pursuing a green platform? Not that I blame her really for it was ...

Advertising
2007-04-12 00:36:00 It seems that more and more bloggers are accepting advertising for their sites and why not? If one can make a few bucks while doing what one enjoys I see no problem with it.

Ironing Out the Bugs
2007-04-10 05:27:00 Being a clean code freak I just hated the validation errors this blog was getting so I finally decided to roll up the sleeves and do something about it. After much labour I was able to reduce the validation errors from 184 to 15. Not bad if I do say so myself. Unfortunately I can’t ... More About: Bugs , Ironing , Iron , Ronin
Condemning Terrorism
2007-04-10 01:09:00 I’m often critical of the Islamofacists who stop at nothing to spread their vile beliefs including but not limited to murdering innocent people in cold blood. But not very often do I mention those Muslims who actively condemn the terrorists that have hijacked their faith. While reading through the recent archives of Memri I came across ...

Justice is an Illusion
2007-04-07 01:35:00 About a week ago I wrote an entry highly critical of the Canadian justice system in general and Judge Lismer in particular. (See Judge Blows It). In case you didn’t see that post here is a brief recap. In July 2005 Winnipgger Christopher Irvine was involved in three robberies. In the first instance he pulled a ...

Bounty on NATO
2007-04-05 23:54:00 Is it just me or have things become really desperate in Afghanistan for both the Taliban and Al-Qaeda?

My Plugin List
2007-04-04 05:46:00 One of the many things I like about WordPress is its versatility. Without a doubt it is the most powerful CMS platform I have ever used and I’ve used a few.

Respect is Earned
2007-04-03 23:03:00 MP Garth Turner has a post up on his blog called Smear in which he complains that the internet has become a vehicle for ‘character assassination, trash talk, slander and falsehood’.

2007-04-03 19:24:00 Liberal MP Mark Holland told National Newswatch he is considering legal action over a column written by Ezra Levant. “…..we are speaking with lawyers about our legal options so I can’t say too much….” That’s Mr. Holland’s right and privilege.

?New Crusaders??
2007-04-03 05:04:00 Don’t think for one moment that Britain’s anemic response to Iran hasn’t gone unnoticed in some quarters. The Argentinian foreign secretary today said his country’s government would use “more firmness” in its attempts to gain sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. If this keeps up the British government may want to look into a bulk rate long distance ... More About: Sade , Crusade , Crusaders
Sacre Bleu
More articles from this author:2007-04-03 04:11:00 “I cannot describe how absolutely outraged I am.” Bahaha! Sorry for the outburst but I couldn’t contain myself. Jason Cherniak is steaming mad about a Tory attack ad that allegedly refers to Stephane Dion as a traitor. There’s only two problems with that: The ad was an old one from February that got yanked.
