Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Another newly discovered species has been named after Donald Trump, and it’s being done for a good cause. A bunch of money goes to charity too, which is also pretty cool. A newly discovered blind and burrowing amphibian is to be officially named Dermophis donaldtrumpi, in recognition of the US president’s climate change denial. The …

What’s going on at Queen’s Park? Is Premier Doug Ford, supported by his political staff, in total control? At the PC Leadership Convention in March, Christine Elliott won the popular vote by 3.4 per cent and also won the majority of ridings. Ford, however, won the “electoral” vote by 1.2 points. So much for the …

Canada got some shiny new drunk driving laws late last year. I should be happy about this since on the penalty end there looks to be some promise, but unfortunately that promise is being negated by the way we’re getting to the penalty stage. New rules that increase penalties for drunk driving and expand police …

I can’t say I fully understand the thought process here because Trump has said many times that he doesn’t drink, but the wife bit does make some sense. He has had three of them, after all. Clearly he knows something about the subject. Then again I’m sure being a pretend billionaire/successful businessman probably had a …

I just saw this CTV story about a new treatment for Type 1 diabetes and it looks pretty neat. From what I understand, this pouch full of cells gets implanted under the patient’s skin and mimics the pancreas, creating insulin in response to the amount of sugar in the blood. I do have questions though. …
I’ve been wanting to write about this story since it came out, but I can’t seem to get going. All I can think to say is “hands off!” To be completely honest, I had the urge to tell him off in more vulgar ways, but since he’s dead, I’ll stick with “hands off!” for now. …
I read about this story 6 months or so ago and meant to write about it then. Since it still makes me chuckle whenever I think about it, I’ll write about it now. I heard about a guy who skipped parole and they were looking for him. When I saw Nathan Barrett’s description, my first …
I remember watching Santa Claus skydive into a pole and tree last year and thinking to myself gees, some of those kids might need a little therapy. But while I’m sure that was probably rather traumatic, I’m also fairly certain that it has nothing on this incident from 1996. Santa Claus was ready to fly …
I pay decent attention to the goings on in Parliament, yet somehow I had never seen Liberal MP Rodger Cuzner read his annual Christmas poem. But now I have, and it’s awesome. With so much division in the world, sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that things don’t suck all the time and that now …

There’s not much funny about Dellen Millard, but I kind of loled at this. The Crown was pushing for a consecutive sentence, while Millard’s lawyer, Ravin Pillay, asked for it to be served concurrently. Pillay said during his sentencing submissions that a third consecutive sentence would be “extraordinarily harsh and excessive.” “He will die before then,” …
