I know the answer is that nowadays each individual has at least one and sometimes more depending on his job, but now and then I still can’t help asking myself just how in the hell there are so many phones. Even though southern Ontario just got a third area code in 2016, its already in …

Well, we voted. The experience was, to put it mildly, a complete clown show. Let’s break down what happened, shall we? The nice fellow at the registration table had no idea what an audio voting machine was or even if they had one. This in spite of the fact that it was clearly stated in …
