Archer-y
If you aren’t watching Archer yet, you should be. It’s by the creators of the equally hilarious and equally insane Frisky Dingo, and is more laugh-a-minute than any show I’ve seen lately, especially when you consider all the background gags they insert for eagle-eyed and pop-cultured types. Exhibit A, check out the work/jokes involved in [...]
Fatalism
This chart showing all the ways Canadians died last year is pretty neat. I’m just trying not to think about the fact that, at some point, I will be added to one of these dots. Syphilis and Lawnmower look pretty underrepresented. Maybe I can aim to boost those numbers? http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/11/05/graphic-so-many-ways-to-die/
Canada Eliminates Penny
Canada’s eliminating the penny, a coin which I happen to like. (Seriously, why not get rid of the nickel instead?) Even worse, this is their reasoning: “Pennies take up too much space on our dressers at home,” Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said in the text of his budget speech in Ottawa. “They take up far [...]
He’s Your Man
More Gary Beacom, because this one is as fun as the other. Gary Beacom – I’m Your Man – YouTube.

“Boneless” Gary Beacom
I love the Internet. I’d caught this as a kid, and managed to capture it on VHS. I’ve hoarded that tape ever since, assuming the performance would be forever lost to history otherwise, but I didn’t count on the rise of YouTube. I’m not a figure skating fan, mainly because I saw this performance as [...]

Tell Vic Everything
We Canadians are not very good at protest. We are, however, world-class at grumbling and snark. Legislation that would give police and spies easier access to information about Internet users was introduced this week in Ottawa. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews was an early supporter. This week Twitter went on the attack with a campaign [...]
The Bull in Toronto’s China Shop
Christopher Hume excoriates Rob Ford, who continues his trend of doing exactly the wrong thing in any given situation. It’s shameful and embarrassing that our world-class city has to be led by this village-class idiot for the next few years. Claiming to speak for some mythical man in the street, those he meets at Tim [...]
Take The Car
It had been a decade since I used the Toronto Transit Commission for my commute, and boy did those 10 years see a huge decline in service. The current system lacks customer service and schedule regimentation. Routes have been cut back and inspection has fallen by the wayside. It’s common to wait 20 minutes for [...]
Edison’s Canadian Connection
Random fact of the day: Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, and grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. He was the seventh and last child of Samuel Ogden Edison, Jr. (1804–96, born in Marshalltown, Nova Scotia, Canada)… His father had to escape from Canada because he took part in the unsuccessful Mackenzie Rebellion of [...]
