Why did the Ford government postpone March break? I can’t think of one practical reason why it’s a good idea. Ok, maybe one, but that’s all. All but one of our nephews is right around kindergarten age. They’re at a point in their development where they need to start getting used to structure, plus there’s …

You Should Get A Plane Ride! And You Should Get A Plane Ride! And You Should Get A Plane Ride!…
Federal government approves Air Canada purchase of Transat A.T. Inc. No matter what you would think of this merger during normal times, right now there’s no way in hell it should be allowed. Christ. Air Canada shouldn’t be allowed to treat a buddy to a Tims run right now let alone purchase another airline. In …
Welcome To The 20th Century, Fort Nelson
Remember how surprising it was when we learned a year or so ago that there were still places in Canada that didn’t have 911 service? Well, here’s another one. Fort Nelson, B.C. just got it up and running at the end of January. According to the article, much of the reason it wasn’t a thing …
As Usual, The Solution To All Of Our Problems Is To Tax The Crap Out Of Average People
Deutsche Bank has a bad proposal for your consideration. Since more and more people are working at home now and a lot of them could very likely continue to do so once the pandemic ends, it’s going to create problems for parts of the economy that rely heavily on commuters or people otherwise being out …
Dirt Road Dirt Nap
I was a kid once. Sometimes me and my friends did some things that were…not so bright. Now and again one or more of us even got ourselves a little banged up in the process. But no matter what dumbass pastime we got up to, there was never anything included that could be considered, even …

I’m not an expert on Ottawa’s municipal politics, but I feel fairly comfortable questioning the judgement of the city’s deputy mayor, George Darouze. He strikes me as the sort of guy who either is legitimately stupid or thinks that everyone else is. First things first, it’s never a good sign when even before you get …

Suddenly, There Was A Click. Unfortunately, It Was Not The Subscribe Button They Had Hoped For
I’d love to say I can’t believe we have to go over this again, but I totally can. Ideally, when you play a prank, it’s one of those things that might irritate someone (think cleverly annoying phone call), but at the end of the day is relatively harmless. Perhaps not everyone is laughing, but there’s …
Best News Bloopers Of April 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrDDCY7AzgA These are from the era when we started seeing more and more people broadcasting from home, so unexpected run-ins by pets and youngsters are plentiful. It’s not the funniest blooper compilation I’ve ever seen, but it still has its moments. I particularly enjoyed the little kid playing outside and talking about the weather, the …
