Remember back when I said I would be on the radio? Well, I finally edited it down from the full hour to the relevant sections, and here’s the result. I left in the monolog by Susan Wheeler because I start joking about it when I start talking, so I felt it had to stay. Plus, …

A Song For Michael Sona
Oh me oh my we’re goofs. You’ll know why very shortly. Steve and I were just sort of standing around talking, when suddenly one of us started singing “My Sharona.” Then the other said “Hey! There’s a parody of that song in there, only all about Michael Sona.” You know who Michael Sona is, right? …
Are You There Marty? It’s Me, Guelph
When Marty Burke makes a public statement, you can usually count on hearing a couple of things. One is his version of the amazing ability of the Conservatives to turn any conversation into a misleading diatribe on coalitions, and the other is how much talking he does with the people of Guelph. According to him, …
Say Cheese, Michael Sona!
Well, all that stuff about Michael Sona trying to deflect questions about him being at the polling station at the university? Good luck with that deflecting now. There he is, in photos. None of the photos show him grabbing for a ballot box, but he tried to make people think he wasn’t even there. Well, …
More Election-Related Things
Let’s just keep the election bandwagon rolling. I have a feeling after this post, I’m going to write about a dumbass, but hey, for now, the election train continues. Brooke over at Ruled By Paws told me about a site with a funny name but a serious message. If you want to quickly see things …
Thanks Elections Canada
This sucks. I was so happy yesterday when the votes counted at U of G. Now, I’m mad all over again. Because of that mess, Elections Canada has banned all special ballot stations at universities because another one *might* cause a similar problem. Give me a break. Just, give me a break. Everybody who cares …
Democracy 1, Conservatives 0
Yea! Yea! Yea! This morning, I was ripping mad at the conservatives, and worried that all those university students who stood in line for hours to vote wouldn’t have their voices heard. I don’t have to worry anymore. Elections Canada has ruled that although some small procedural mistakes were made, the votes will count. What’s …
Meet Marty Burke
If you’re wondering what kind of person would employ somebody who thinks trying to walk off with a ballot box from a legal polling station is a good idea, it’s the same kind of person who would write this sort of dreck. Not only are these Marty Burke’s quotes, but when asked for comment on …
Behaviour Like That Doesn’t Win Votes
I’m sorry, who is it that is being undemocratic? Who? local members of the Conservative Party of Canada, that’s who. The University of Guelph had a special polling station in the University Centre to encourage students to get out and vote. They did. Hell, people stood for hours in line to vote, and this is …
Access Recreation Day
I haven’t talked in a while about what the Guelph Barrier Free Committees is up to on the subject of recreation. Well, we’ve been busy! We’re planning an event that I think has the potential to be really awesome if we can get lots of people out to it. It’s called Access Recreation Day and …
