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. Voting has always made me a bit nervous because I’ve always needed some help from the staff at the polling station or, …

Happy Election Day
Hello, Friends. And Happy Election Day to you all here in Canada. Let’s talk politics shall we. For those of you not in Canada this will come down to 2 parties. the Liberals and the Conservatives. There’s a third party called the NDP which is way out to the left but they won’t have enough …
Stand Up For Canada
I missed out big time yesterday. Really, really big time. I was just a few short steps and a few short seconds away from snagging myself one of the coolest political souvenirs in history, but stupid me decided to stand out in the shitty freezing rain and wait for the bus instead. God, I’m such …
All I Know Is That I Don’t Know Nothin’
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 …

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 …
Vote Or Shut Up???
So today is Election Day in Canada. As with any election in any area we’ve been slammed with ads and all kinds of rhetoric for the last while all telling us why we should vote for the different candidates. That alone is annoying enough for me to have considered posting on, but I refrained since …
Something A Bit More Serious Than Usual
I guess this is more an issue for our American readers but it is really something that everyone should go and take a look at. It never hurts to be a little bit more educated and a little bit more open-minded. PunkVoter.com is a site that has been set up for Punk Rock fans (or …
The Angry Blind Man’s 6 O’clock News Recap
I’m going to try something that I’ve never tried before because I need to take my mind off of a few things and making fun of people I’ve never met before and venting my anger on them seems like a good way to accomplish that. So with the snappy little introduction complete with reasoning out …
