We or rather he speaks of fake news usually because he or we do not agree with it. However there is a kind of fake news, something we see a lot of at election time. It is frustrating to watch opposing factions, of all degrees, attacking an individual rather than an issue or policy that they stand for. All this proves is that each team has a host of researchers devoted to digging up shit and no politician with the balls to share anything other than vitriol.
Bent Into The Wind.
I am wondering if I. indeed we, were more gullible twenty/thirty years ago. Have I always been this mistrusting? Back then the argument from authority was so acceptable. But now I don’t believe anything on first contact, especially the most plausible. I would like to blame the Americans for everything but I know I cant. […]
ContinueFlags
This is just a thought you may wish to peruse don’t take it to heart but why must we only fly the Canadian flag on Canada Day? When I first came to Canada I used to think that every day in Ottawa was a holiday or something was being celebrated. Why…because of the profusion of […]

What about standing up to the alt right, Trump, Nazis, Scheer and people too stupid to think before they open their mouths? Is this a radical notion. Are we going to become the next generations that turned a blind eye to the evils of bigoted arseholes? Had people thought before voting in 1933 perhaps World […]
ContinueD-Day
I wish I could express how thankful I am to the men and women that saved the world during world war two. It was a bloody horrific mess that thousands gave their lives so that I might be born in the comfort and safety of relative peace. My heart aches when I see those veterans, […]
ContinueMilk Shake
I have decided that there is no room in my life for bullshit; I have consummed enough over the years. What with British Tories then Canadian Fascists and raging lunatics in the Whitehouse it is time I looked to my own needs. So I will become a Poutinist accompanied by the occasional Milk Shake concerto.

Alabama, the quintessential southern state full of bigots, right wing populists and religious freaks, has proved this value beyond a shadow of a doubt. Abortion! there is no legal reason sorry almost no legal reason a woman can get an abortion. Indeed it is almost a certainty that if a woman leaves the state to […]
ContinueLeader of the Free World.
The one thing most Europeans agree on is their loathing of the USA. The arrogant, spoiled children of the universe… ill informed, bigoted and stupid people. However, the blessed Yank made good movies, from time to time, so we tolerated them. Even so there were two things that continued to irk. 1) The attitude that […]
ContinueGame of Thrones
The recently aired episode of Game Of Thrones is totally in keeping with the way twists and turns that have run throughout the entire series. The bast laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang Aft A-Gley. All the signs were there that this was how it would go down. If I could see it, and […]
ContinuePaycheques
Let me say right at the outset that I do not disapprove of top executives earning a hefty paycheque. Greater responsibility does demand a higher salary of this there is no question. But 16 million for such as Carlos Ghosen is pure greed. Even more so when said Exec is arrested for alleged embezzlement. I […]
ContinueThe Sky is Filling Up!
When I was very young we lived in an area of my home town that saw a lot of traffic. Cars bumper to bumper awaiting their turn to take the next turn left of right. I stood not much above the belching fumes of rattling dripping exhaust pipes. It was disgusting and always made me […]
