Following the battle between Uber and the world’s taxi companies, I keep hearing one thing that’s starting to bug me. It’s the notion that while cab companies in each city have loads of competition, Uber doesn’t. While in a sense that’s true, it’s also kind of a silly argument. To illustrate this point, let’s use …

Why Are Niqabs An Election Issue?
I have to ask, because I’d like a Conservative who honestly feels that this issue is one upon which our election should hinge and upon which the future of our entire country and indeed our very way of life hinges now to explain it to me in a way that makes sense. It seems important …
So I’ve Tried Uber. Here Are My Thoughts
A while ago, Steve welcomed Uber to KW. I’ve been trying Uber out, and I have to say that for the most part, the experience has been pretty awesome. I should be clear. When I could manage to get an Uber ride, the experience was awesome. Aside, grammar people…is it a Uber or an Uber? …
Jibo: Creepo?
soundtrack time. How I missed putting this in on the post’s first construction, I don’t know. I’ve been meaning to write about this since I saw it, but thankfully I only saw it a couple of months ago, not like some of the things I haven’t managed to write about. One day, someone tweeted that …
That Costly Trip To Costco
For some reason, this is a hard post for me to write…but here goes. Last July, a story broke about a woman’s car slamming into a London Costco, killing a 6-year-old girl and her newborn sister, and injuring their mother and other sister. Charges were laid against Ruth Berger, the driver of the car, and …
Creamy Chocolate Kill?
I figure I’ll write about Timmy’s since it’s Canada Day. It seems appropriate. A little while ago, Tim Horton’s came out with…something…called the Creamy Chocolate Chill. Wow, something is wrong with me…I’m blogging about some random food product. But there are two reasons I want to, so bear with me. When I first heard about …
It’s Canada Day. How’d We Get Here?
Soundtrack time. Yup, it’s Canada Day. Where is this year going? I hope people are finding fun things to do somewhere, just enjoying the day off. I’m probably going to be spending some time outside if the weather decides to be good. I’m just glad to be doing what I want to do. Not a …
Great Big Swing-Along?
It’s become a morning routine to have CBC Radio 2 on as I get ready for work. Because of this, we discovered something that Tom Power does every weekday morning around 8:20 ish. He calls it the great big sing-along. Basically, he picks a song that bunches of us know the words to, and says …
Fussy Eater
Fussy Eater Part 1. Fussy Eater Part 2. Been meaning to put this one up for a while not just because it’s a classic, but because I think about it pretty much every day since Carin and I have a tendency to quote the hell out of it in our everyday lives. We never buy …
Are We A Curse?
I was joking nearly nine years ago when I called us the apartment building kiss of death, but my god, it feels like every place we’ve lived in has had a big ol’ fire in it. Sure, the fires happen mostly after we’re gone, but still. We’ll start with the fire in the first building …
