Scores of Canadians are going to speak and write eloquently about Mr. Layton, and what – if any – legacy he will leave, and they will opine on this truly amazing week which culminated in the funeral this afternoon. So I will not attempt to sum all of “this” up. I could not do it […]

Trashy's World: There is a time and there is a place…
… for cynicism and criticism. There is a time and a place to back off and show some respect. You’d think that less than 24 hours after the death of a Canadian who was respected by many, many of his countrymen and women is not the time to smear the man, his party or the […]

I just now learned that Mr. Layton has passed away.
My thoughts go out to his family and his colleagues.
This is a sad day for all Canadians regardless of political stripe. We will miss you, Smilin’ Jack!

Things I am learning about Twitter. Don’t try to engage those who are so blinded by dogmatism that they can’t even wish you a good morning without first judging your views on the CPC law and order agenda. Don’t take things personally. There are some real jerks in the Twitterverse. Do defend what you say […]

More and more I find myself wandering over to Pushed to the Left and Loving It… so I thought I’d add a link to the site in my sidebar.
Worth a read if you’re a like-minded progressive thinker.

… by putting “Royal” back in the names of the Navy and the Air Force. Loving anachronisms – it’s the CPC way… This move is just plain bone-headed on so many levels! Even some Cons that I know are scratching their heads a bit over this one! Some traditionalists are saying: “Hooray! We’re going back […]

NO WAY that the IQ-challenged Tim Hudak came up with this!
It would be kind of akin to Rob Ford putting his shoes on the right feet in one try…
But still – kudos to the Ont. PC lemming who came up with this…

… for the largely symbolic move to take part in Ottawa’s pride parade later this month. I say largely symbolic because “inclusive” policies at the Board are already in place and staff and Board members consider intolerance toward any students for whatever reason as inexcusable. Forward thinking stuff. But symbolic actions are important; especially in […]

… I fall into the latter group. Disclaimer – the following should not be considered to be blanket statements about all dogs and dog people. I address this specifically to friends and family who for some reason, that is completely a mystery to me, think dogs are just super. It’s not that I hate ‘em […]

If you have read this blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m a big supporter of public transportation – or transport en commun as they say in French. I have used OC Transpo as my wheels to work ever since moving to Ottawa in 1997. Figure 220 work days x two trips per day […]

WTF? Why not? Some Americans think that this might be a way to go… Mr. Damon has not expressed a desire to run for office, but he has become known for his political activism. During the 2008 presidential campaign, he endorsed Barack Obama and called Sarah Palin’s story “a bad Disney movie.” Recently, the actor […]

If this is true, I’m screwed…. The question I’ve heard that barbecued food is cancer causing. Should I avoid it altogether this summer? The answer Yes, there is evidence to suggest that a heavy intake of barbecued meat could increase cancer risk. Compounds in cooked meat called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are to blame. Grilling, broiling […]
