Over the past few days I have been sarcastically tweeting out random crap about the upcoming federal election in Canada. The problem with this approach is that I cannot sum up my frustration with this event in 140 characters. Below lies the complete platform with which I will base my future updates on this matter.

I’m tired of reading about people ‘losing privacy’ with Facebook and Twitter. People are not losing their privacy; they are losing their common sense. There was an article this morning in the paper which cited examples of ‘loss of privacy’:
1) A UK worker being fired for comments that her job was boring.
2) Employees [...]
As we all know by now on Christmas day a man attempted to detonate an explosive on a flight as it was descending into Detroit. The media reported this almost immediately as a “terrorist attack”.
There was a Republican senator on CNN this week denouncing Obama because “…he took 3 days to respond to the [...]
Regarding the recent news of the e-mail phishing scam on Gmail, Yahoo! and Hotmail (and presumably others) my blood has been absolutely boiling over the horribly inaccurate, sensationalistic comments that are being published in all sorts of reputable newpapers!
First lets be clear: These guys are NOT hackers. They are not. At very best they [...]

The above comic was sent to me after my blog posts on Mr. Keen’s book about Internet media destroying society. The big-nosed guy on the right makes an interesting point, there will always be a need for writers no matter where we read our [...]
I have flown quite a bit, not a lot, but more than most and less than quite a few. I have flown on everything from “Can this legally be considered a plane?”-class on Delta to Executive First on Air New Zealand, one of the best airlines in the air. I have been on Virgin Blue [...]
I mentioned briefly in my last post about the Swine Flu. And today I read that Air Transat and other airlines have suspended flights! Has this world gone mad?!
Swine Flu World Wide Stats
This picture was in the UK morning paper. Notice that the only place that has any deaths in it is [...]
Many of you may have heard about the trial of the mounties in the taser death of some nut at an airport. I don’t want to minimize a death in anyway, and I feel for his family and friends, but many words have been thrown around about these officers: “knee-jerk reaction”, “impulse acting”, “instinctual” etc. [...]
As always I have an opinion: The recent Virginia situation as before when this has occurred is being brought out to be a sign of the decline of society. This is because it is easy to point to a moron with a gun and blame him for all the fear in the world.
What you [...]
