What a maroon :-)

30 June, 2003 (21:56) | Personal | No comments

I don’t know why I get myself into these fixes, maybe it’s nature trying to weed my gemes out of the gene pool or something Tomorrow is Canada Day – Canada’s equivalent (but vastly more modest) of the US’ July 4th hullabaloo. Anyway, here in Rossland there is a long standing Canada [...]

How censorship really works

29 June, 2003 (09:06) | Sociology | No comments

Seven years ago the school board for Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver and the lower mainland’s bible belt banned teachers in elementary schools from using books that presented same sex couples as legitomate family units. This became a well know couts case that weas not resolved until last week when the Supreme Court of Canada [...]

An accomplished liar

27 June, 2003 (23:59) | Political | 3 comments

It appears that Bush’s recent spate of lying to the public, re: Iran and WMD, is not a recent development in his character (quick act shocked – GASP). John Dean has an interesting column in FindLaw (what you don’t read FindLaw – tsk tsk)called White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales’s Texas Execution Memos: How They Reflect [...]

3 Cheers for the Canadian Supreme Court

27 June, 2003 (22:20) | Political | No comments

The court recently made a decision that will rewrite federal elction laws. Prior to today’s ruling a party that wanted to qualify for a number of benefits had to field at least 50 candidates in ridings across Canada. Doing so would allow them to be officially registered as a political party with Elections Canada. Official [...]

How Liberals lose

27 June, 2003 (21:16) | Political | No comments

It strikes me that the single biggest problem that liberals have is their willingness to compromise in the political arena. Compromise is something that tends to work better for conservatives than liberals. Conservatives put forward absurd legislation and instead of banding together and rejecting it out of hand liberals compromise by weakening the bill a [...]

I wonder

27 June, 2003 (21:10) | War | No comments

I wonder how long it will be before the bushies, both inside and outside he administration, start calling the Iraqii guerillas terrorists? Will they have that much hutzpah?
Note to right wingers – calling them terrorists would be admitting that the US now owns Iraq and thereby proving yet another lie was told.

There’s final and then there’s final

26 June, 2003 (23:18) | Personal | 3 comments

It is 10:52pm as I type this. That means in a mere 68 minutes an era of my life will come to a true end. At midnight tonight my divorce becomes final and I’m really not certain how I feel about it. From acceptance to rage to sorrow, pick a day, pick a moment [...]
