… in trying to track down some scumbags who defiled Pleasant Park School (OCDSB: JK -> 6… yeah, little kids) with some truly disgusting graffiti at some point over the past few days. As in TRULY disgusting. Swastikas. Racist crap. The works. The police are not likely to be able do anything other than log […]

Trashy's World: Why work?
Actual conversation between my 7 year daughter and I yesterday. Daughter: When are we going to Montreal? Me: Well, I’m not going. You and your brother and Mommy are going next week. I have to go back to work on Monday. Daughter: Why? Me: Because my summer holidays are over and now it’s time for […]

… is this article in The Star on how these problems should serve as warning signs for the rest of the country. The city’s roadway problems are perhaps the most extreme example of what the Federation of Canadian Municipalities calls a $123 billion shortfall in municipal infrastructure spending across the country. “It’s like a cancer […]

… is only putting off the inevitable unless something more substantive can be done to alleviate the unfathomable levels of American debt. Americans are going to have to pay now – because the price to pay later will bring their proud nation to its knees. Usually, The Onion is a work of satire. Usually. But […]

Honestly, after reading this, I think I’d take Bosnia over one of the Montreal bridges, overpasses or tunnels… What a shame. And disgrace. But look y’all, before we in the RoC start feeling all smug-like, start looking at the condition of some of the streets etc. in your neck of the woods. Many of us […]

1. Elizabeth May’s sudden crusade against Wi-Fi has disappointed me. I had thought she would latch on to an environmental issue that was beyond reproach. The tar sands. GHGs. Volatile organic compounds. Food safety. She had a lot to choose from. But no. She picks an issue which may or may not actually be an […]

buf·foon [buh-foon] –noun 1. a person who amuses others by tricks, jokes, odd gestures and postures, etc. 2. a person given to coarse or undignified joking. So, Rob Ford is an example of a gene pool gone wrong terribly … right? We can agree on this, correct? If you doubt that at all, then look no further […]

This is great news! When I quit 7 years ago, I used Zyban, the patch, nico-gum… everything I could get my hands on! And they worked! Fortunately, the costs were covered under my drug plan… but most folks aren’t so lucky. Lower future health care costs will many times over pay for the costs of […]

At a simple ceremony at Oslo’s cathedral, a characteristically austere building surrounded by flowers and candles left by mourners, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg seemed to express the country’s mood of defiant grief. “You should know that we’re crying with you. We feel for you… I am proud of living in a country that has managed […]

I commented on Twitter yesterday that some were taking the Oslo tragedy as an opportunity to push forward certain right-wing agendas. And please don’t tell me that open carry and anti Gun Registry proponents are not unique to the right. There may be a few exceptions – but damned few. Over at wmtc, they took […]

I might have more to say about this later, but for now I just want to highlight the idiocy of some on the right of the spectrum here in Canada. Yesterday, when the news broke about the tragedy in Norway, the response by many in the Twitterverse, blogosphere and in the comments sections of news […]

…environmental compliance-wise… comes news that the Cons are looking at turning another vital public sector function over to the private sector: search and rescue. I really don’t get this one. Where’s the upside? They will piss off DND and the Coast Guard – which are two constituencies that the Harperites like to cow-tow to. They […]
