Mayor McCheese

I was likening Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to a talking cheeseburger yesterday when lo and behold I realized...

I mean, there are obvious differences, but you get the idea.

Weasel Poll

Dalton McGuinty (AKA a giant wiener who is premier of one of the poorest parts of Canada) did us all a real big favour and sent each taxpayer in Ontario the first installment of three bribe cheques this week so that we don't hate him as much when we have to start paying the new equivalent of PST next month on such things as gasoline, Tim Hortons coffee, and groceries (not considered 'basic') under $4.

I received mine today, and I just plum don't know what to do with it. I'm hoping your decisions might be able to sway me.

What will you spend your HST bribe on?
	Bills/Rent
	Loan/Mortgage

I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm!

Inspired by this, it occurred to me today how surprised I am that we don't just hire out child hitmen (ahem, hitpersons) to do our criminal bidding. Keeps the kids busy, their cell phone bills paid, and at no expense to their reputations! We wouldn't want to mar the names of our little future-shapers, would we?

If there is any conservative bone in my body, this one is it. The Youth Criminal Justice Act is a disgrace to Canada. When I was four years old, I knew that whether it was stealing candy, hurting someone else, or shooting them in the head, it was without a shadow of doubt wrong. If some idiotic 15 year old can't figure that out, why do we want him/her an active part of society?

While adult crime has somehow declined since the early 1990s, youth crime has remained stable and violent youth crime is actually on the rise. The actual and effective rehabilitation of these young criminals (if and when possible) is something this country needs to consider, a hell of a lot more than it needs to consider throwing these kids back on the street to keep incarceration to a minimum.

ZENN illegal to sell in Canada

The only information I've gotten so far on this is in the video below. So, as long as this idea doesn't secretly suck somehow, I think maybe the provinces should start regulating them so we can drive them.

Love You Neil

I mean, I'm a little late on this, but it's great music for when you're jacked on caffeine at 3am and having half-assed political conversations via any given instant messenger.

Legendary

I'm truly, to my core, touched. I've never seen such a massive amount of people so incredibly happy in one place before. It finally feels like there's hope for change in America. Good for them.
