Quick Hits vol. V

Congrats to ‘30 Rock’ for your emmy haul on Sunday night.  By  far one of the smartest shows on TV.  That most likely explains it relative low ratings.  Last thing people want to do when they are watching TV, is think.
Looks like Warren Buffet fans may be able to getting a better look at the [...]

Why not keep our energy?

When it comes to our oil, natural gas, hydro electric power or wind energy.  Why can’t we keep it at home then sell the surplus.  Instead we are in a situation where Canadians are exposed to the rise and fall of energy costs and only a few benefit from it.
Here is what’s at issue.  Canada is one [...]

Quick Hits vol. IV

Maybe Mr. Harper has a reason for maintaining such a tight lease when it comes to the message being communicated from the Tory party.  Especially, when you consider the latest gaff from Minister Gerry Ritz.  Or is it that they are not allowed to speak enough?

In this case Mr. Dion is the “Medium” and his message is being obstructed by it(him). This is saddening, due to the fact that climate change is a reality [...]

Which Harper are we getting?

It would seem we are seeing a transformation during the election of 2008.  And unfortunately it is one that just helps perpetuate the image of the sterotypical politician.  Mr. Harper, the mask has lifted and you are simply just another politician who is looking to hold onto his job.
