I tried to write this yesterday, but a storm came through, and for reasons I need to figure out, my UPS was a little shorter on the U than I expected, so my computer died sooner than I thought and took my post down with it. So here’s take two. *slams the save button* It’s …

Good Thing We Spent All That Money
We all know how I feel about the election we just had. TLDR: we didn’t want it and we didn’t need it. If you want to argue that point with me, don’t bother. Just look at this and see where $600 million or whatever it is that we ultimately spent on this thing got us. …
And I Mean It!
This TV commercial keeps coming on, and is yet another example of an ad that doesn’t say what it’s for. But it’s a campaign ad, and for some reason, that bugs me even more. The viewer can sort of discern that it’s NDP because of the talking points, but how do they know for sure? …
The Special Thing About Special Ballots
I thought I would write one more thing down about the election. It was going to be in this other elections post, but as a question. Now I have the answer, so I thought I would post it in case others were wondering too. I was talking to a friend who had to vote early …
Necessary Voting In Unnecessary Elections
So we’re voting again. I’m not looking forward to dealing with this right now, but I don’t really have a choice so off we go. I thought I’d post what answers I could find about the process, and ask a few questions of my own. First of all, if you’re wondering if your vaccine status …

Shut Up, Team Prime Minister
My god, the balls on this guy. Canadians pull together? We work as a team? That’s how we get big things done? By finding ways to work together? It’s what we always do? Whatever you say, Mr. only person in the whole damn country who is convinced that nobody is working with him so we …
You Do Not Owe The Ontario Progressive Conservatives Any Money
From time to time, I get emails from shifty marketing and search optimization scumbags. Their letters are marked as coming from somewhere important sounding like domain services. They tell me that I owe a balance of a few hundred dollars and that if I don’t pay up, I will lose access to either my entire …

Looks Like I’m An NDP Voter Again
Not because of any idea they have in particular although they generally have some pretty good ones. My choice is based on a really, really bad idea the Liberals had. I will absolutely not be rewarding this kind of selfish, irresponsible behaviour with my vote in September. Saying that, by the way, makes me a …
I’m Lynn Beyak, And I Approved This Message. Wait, No I Didn’t. My Mistake
God, don’t you just hate it when you accidentally claim to live in a town and country you don’t live in and write down the incorrect occupation on a form and then wind up donating to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign in violation of American campaign finance laws? That’s what happened to Senator Lynn Beyak who, …

How Do You Almost Make The Presidential Debate Watchable?
You add Weird Al and autotune, that’s how. I watched maybe five minutes of that “shitshow” on Tuesday night and the one question I had was who do I want to punch in the face more, everyone on that stage for being just the most insufferable childish assholes or me for not making better use …
