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 [...]
The SNP’s Canadian Connection
I caught the tail end of last week’s Sunday Edition, and heard Luke Skipper’s attempts at a Scottish burr. The Walrus wrote this piece on him, the Canadian chief of staff for the Scottish National Party’s Westminster team. It gives a brief look at the new Scottish Independence movement (contrasting it favourably with Québec’s exclusionary [...]
Colbert PAC
Stephen Colbert is my hero. This time, he’s taking on the US political PAC system, to prove how corrupt and nefarious it can be. It’s unlikely his campaign will amount to actual reform, but it’s great that he’s planting the seed of knowledge in his viewership, at least. The Daily Show gets a lot more [...]
Wall Street Evictions
As usual, Neil Macdonald hits the nail on the head. In fact, it is one of the most remarkable aspects of this protest that those involved couldn’t, or wouldn’t, harness the power inherent in the name of their movement: Occupy Wall Street. And in their main slogan: We are the 99 per cent. The words [...]
Rubbing Pepper in the Wound
I usually feel awful for anyone caught in the jaws of an Internet meme, but this tiny-dicked Kampus Kop deserves everything he gets. Quiet Rage, anyone? http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/casually-pepper-spray-everything-cop#.TsrPpzMJGFk.twitter
Preoccupied Wall St.
Well, the police moved in and cleared off the Occupy protesters, as everyone knew they would, eventually. I do hope the movement keeps up its steam, though – there are a lot of real issues to be confronted here, and the idea of letting the banks go back to their fuckup ways without protest is [...]
Rebel Mayor
I’m a year late on this, but about the only good thing that came out of last year’s mayoral election in Toronto was the reincarnation of 19th century shit-disturber William Lyon Mackenzie as a Twitter-lovin’, Prius-drivin’, modern day campaigner. Though the 18th century tradition of organising a mob and arming them with pitchforks and firing [...]
and then it all started happening
http://everydaygenius.tumblr.com/post/9335007700The Leader of the Opposition, Jack Layton, died this week, just a few months after leading his party to the best results they’ve ever seen. I wasn’t a huge fan of the man – he never met a photo opportunity he didn’t take – but there’s no denying that his heart was in the right [...]
Thomas W. Ewing – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_W._EwingThomas W. “Tom” Ewing is a former Republican member of the United States House of Representatives and the Illinois State House of Representatives… While a U.S. Congressman, Thomas Ewing was considered to be a Libertarian-leaning Conservative, favoring a smaller less intrusive government, but more on economic issues than on social ones. In December 2000 he [...]
