Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
This just creeps me out. Does it creepyou out? Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion is prepared to take “extraordinary measures” to boost the ranks of women candidates in the next election, including barring men from seeking nominations in some ridings. During last year’s leadership race, Dion promised that under his watch at least a third of …

I kind of feel bad not having this up sooner, but time got away from me. Then this whole thing came back to me, and with all the other talk of the municipal election, I felt this had to be posted. I’m really glad they have debates before an election, not just so you can …
In a comment under my talking voting machine post, I mentioned Scott Gilbert and voting multiple times. I figure I should explain that, since nobody would get the joke unless they lived in Guelph. Plus, I think he’s a bit of a fool. So since I can’t miss an opportunity to make fun of a …
Now everybody’s staring at me, confused. I can explain! On Monday, we had our municipal election, and for the first time, because of a cool new talking voting machine, I could vote independently.

Sometimes I really hate democracy. Well ok, not democracy itself, but the responsibilities that come along with the rights that it affords all of us. I’ve never been someone who could head out to my local polling station each election day and absentmindedly mark an X for a candidate who’s name I don’t recognize and …
Yeah yeah yeah, we already know Stephen Harper is scary and not who I’d vote for that’s for sure. But I saw him do something that I found to be completely patronizing! There is no other word to describe what I saw. Stephen Harper’s up there, spouting off about his feelings about the liberals. Same …
I heard on the news that the powers that be have decided to call an election. Another one. When did we last go to the polls? 2004? So they’re trying to arrange to have one called in February. They think that somehow they’re going to end up with more than a minority government, which is …
This might be a little heavy for a Saturday morning but that doesn’t make it any less interesting or thought provoking. These are the very much simplified results of a study of various fascist regimes around the world that have played a large part in history. The basic finding was that all of them have …
