He’s Had A Few Shots Of Something, By The Looks Of It

His heart is in the right place, but clearly being weird and embarrassing at government meetings isn’t just for anti-vaxxers. Impossible to describe this scene from Dallas City Council this morning but I’m begging you to click, you will not regret it pic.twitter.com/aQNfXeNZzf — Bradford Pearson (@BradfordPearson) January 12, 2022 Did he say “vaccinate me …

Remind Me Again Why Old People Vote Conservative

Seriously, why? They hate you. They hate sick people, too. They’re not so hot on any of your friends and relations, either. If you’d like to tell me I’m wrong about any of that, then go ahead and offer up a good explanation for Doug Ford’s government ramming through an awful piece of legislation designed …

Who Are These People? The 2022 Waterloo Regional Council Candidates Edition

Extinguish This Foolishness

I’ve been meaning to say something about The Tyre Extinguishers for a while now. In case you don’t know who that is, it’s a group of vandals disguised as protesters who pop up in neighbourhoods around the world including several right here in KW and slash the tires on people’s vehicles, particularly SUVs.

The Canadian telecom …

Don’t Make Me Tell You Again Again

Male with two lifetime driving bans caught driving again, say police Just going to go ahead and ask the obvious question here. How is it possible to be banned for life from the same thing twice? But perhaps more importantly, why? What good is it doing? Clearly not much. Let’s think about this a moment. …

I Love Seth Meyers’ Trump Impression

Perhaps there are people who do a technically better one, but Seth Meyers does my favourite Donald Trump impression. Admittedly I haven’t seen every Trump impersonator there is, but nobody I’ve seen does quite as good a job of capturing just how weird and out to lunch the guy can be. As an example, I …

The Sony CFS-C7 CHORDMACHINE

I have no idea what 1982 Sony was trying to create here. It seems a bit too sophisticated to have been intended as a toy, but nowhere near sophisticated enough to be taken seriously as any sort of musical instrument or recording device. It occupies a strange space somewhere in between, and therefore winds up …

It Sure Sounds Like The Ford Government Is Fixing To Screw Over All Of Our Education Workers

They haven’t come right out and said it, but you don’t just have the province’s education minister toss a column into a widely read newspaper especially not one with a conservative slant like the Toronto Sun that’s going to be sympathetic to an anti-union message without having some sort of inclination in that direction. Yes, …
