http://www.google.ca/search?q=big%20plans&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official It occurs to me that, in the wake of my lost August and September, I’ve never actually revealed my long-hyped Big Plans. I don’t have many details yet, but the general framework is set in my psyche: 1) Survive to Xmas (no small feat) 2) Get clean bill of health from nephrologist (significantly smaller […]

Bob and Doug McKenzie – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_and_Doug_McKenzie I thought I’d Stumbled this ages ago, but apparently not – time to right the wrong. For those not in the know, the McKenzie Brothers are two of the most recognizable symbols of Canadiana by being two of the biggest stereotypes of the “average” Canuck. And their invention, ironically, came as a result of […]
5 Things Podcast: Five Things You Didnt Know That You Didnt Know
http://www.monsterfeet.com/5things/ The smartest guy I know shares some of his expansive knowledge with the rest of us.
Greyhound Home
http://www.greyhound.ca/en/ Ever wonder why people never think of long-distance bus travels with the same wistfulness that train journeys inspire? Experience the Greyhound Canada website (while noting that the US version is no different) There is NO mention of the 30-day unlimited bus pass that is apparently available, no route information, no maps – nothing for […]
Canada Day – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Day Canada Day thus differs from Independence Day celebrations in some other countries in that it does not commemorate a militant assertion of political self-determination, but rather recognizes one of the major milestones of the long and peaceful political process which formed the modern nation of Canada. A fact of which I am very proud. […]
Howd They Vote? :: John Cannis, MP
http://www.howdtheyvote.ca/member.php?id=52 A very useful site for politically-minded Canadians, showing the results of every vote and a list of quotes given in Parliament, searchable by MP. Shown after the jump is the listing for my area’s representative, who voted against the Marijuana and Same Sex Marriage bills, and by doing so refused to toe the party […]
If Canadians Ruled – Worth1000 Contests
http://www.worth1000.com/cache/contest/contestcache.asp?contest_id=9001&display=photoshop A Photoshop contest to imagine the world as ruled by Canadians. Most of the entries are pretty weak – about 90% of them involve a maple leaf (yawn.) The ones that are done by Canucks, however, are evident. Although this guy will be in trouble for revealing our secret plans to repurpose the White […]
StumbleUpon.com: SU Canada: The job no one seems to want…
http://canada.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/33822/ Stolen from Mark-Alfred‘s forum post. Most of the names will go over the heads of non-Canadians, but trust me, it’s pretty funny. It’s also pretty accurate – I’m hoping the Liberals will soon sort out their ass-from-elbow botheration.
Rick Mercers Blog: Conservative Cabinet Revealed
http://rickmercer.blogspot.com/2006/01/conservative-cabinet-revealed_09.html And here’s a great example of why Rick Mercer is important: Unlike the rest of the media, who are happy to accept the legitimacy of the Conservative label concealing the old Reform party yahoos (sort of like sewing a Levi’s tag onto a pair of bargain basement jeans), he pulls back the curtain to […]
