Canada's Debate

I have been throwing myself into work and Ultimate Frisbee over the last month or so, and my activity here has declined accordingly. As of last Friday however I am unemployed, as Wardrop was required due to eliminate my position (a direct result of the recession which I have commented on somewhat callously here [...]

I saw this at the Chicago Sun-Times and just had to share it. It could be inferred by Jaime’s comments on my earlier post that the difference between Americans and Canadians is the place that guns hold in our national awareness; but that is incorrect.
Facebook friends are not real friends, either, in that they [...]

I’ve been unable to determine exactly why my comments aren’t working, and the other issues I’m having using a custom-theme are starting to become a hassle; so I am going to switch to Atahualpa for the time being. Feel free to offer your comments.

I just realized that the comments section of this site isn’t working. I’ll be looking into it over the coming week, and try to get it up and running as soon as I can.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well, I am “officially” back, in the sense that I will be writing regular content for this site, as opposed to simply puttering around with the design.
Now, about the design; I’m not really that happy with it, so I will continue to putter with it over the coming weeks and months, but that will come [...]

I know it’s been along time since I’ve made an appearance… I just had to come back and share some good news. Omi, a restaurant I spoke of nearly one year ago, has been reborn at Parliament and Carlton and I am atwitter at the prospect of enjoying a fine meal under John Lee’s careful [...]

It’s too fucking early.
That is all.

Ok, this post has failed twice, so the recap:
Ezra Levant still sucks.
I’ve been working too much to post.
Will start posting again.
Restaurant reviews coming.

I’ve been getting increasingly disgruntled recently, so it’s time for a good rant. For quite some time I’ve been a staunch defender of governments, and public services in general among my family and friends. The number of times I’ve stood up for city hall, the TTC, and certain specific politicians and programs defies enumeration.
Recently however, [...]

I wasn’t planning on commenting on my prolonged absence (save the occasional appearance) from the blogging arena, until I read that Catelli (formerly Closet Liberal) had a similar experience.
Quite simply, I’ve been burned out intellectually. To give you some background, I’ve actually made some progress in my life (”Adulthood by 30 or Bust!”) After the [...]

This is just a reminder that friends of mine will be doing their regular internet-radio broadcast of America’s Debate Radio tonight starting at 9pm (with live calls to commence after Bush’s speech.) The general subject of this week’s show will be the much-discussed troop “Surge.” The show is American, but it nonetheless offers a unique [...]

Well I’m settling into my new apartment nicely. I still need a few things (garbage can, clean pants, living room furniture, etc.) but all in all this place is starting to come together. My roommate has a cat named Ovenmitt who is slowly but surely getting used to me, and is not nearly as loud [...]

I’ve had an interesting month or so, one that you may have noticed has been almost entirely blog-free. The truth of the matter is that my interest in blogging is directly proportional to my own prospects; and I’ve barely had a whisper on the job front in that span. Now, this is not an entirely [...]

In case you didn’t notice, I now have a “Green hosting” icon on my left sidebar. I mention this not to gloat or congratulate myself, but out of a nagging suspicion that it’s utter bullshit. I have no reason do disbelieve Dreamhost’s claims, but I don’t see how a giant building that’s full of [...]

I grabbed this from April Reign…
The rules are as follows:

Each player creates a list of eight random personal facts/habits.
At the end of your post, list eight people who you want to tag to also do this meme.
People who are tagged will write their own list of eight personal facts/habits and, if they have a blog [...]
