Industry can police itself, right?
More bold-faced lies from the Cons during the May election campaign…
Sigh… environmental laggards indeed…

Trashy's World: Heat. Humidity. Earthquakes. Where are the locusts?
I get the heat and humidity… but I swear I just felt the earth move. And no. The Resident Love Goddess is out with the kids at Shakespeare in the park! Pervs… I mean, if the Christian doomsayers are right… I’m thinkin’ I’ll have THOUSANDS of grasshooper-like insects gnawing at my bald head by dawn! […]

This is a map which supposedly tracks nasty shit happening in the world in real-time.
Earthquakes? Yup.
Floods? Oh yeah.
Forest fires? They’re hot on that!
Plane crashes? They’re DOWN!
Haven’t had chance to verify if it’s eve…
Trashy's World: Why was everyone surprised by the storm in Ottawa last night?
@OttawaDaddy pointed this out on Twitter this morning. I too am amazed at how few people used the Environment Canada radar site to see the storms approaching after receiving Twitter warning & retweets! Check it out. Easy to use, folks. This is what it showed this morning. The basics are: orange and red – bad. […]

…this one showing the results.
And while Canada is way down on the list, it’s still sad to see that 6% of men think that it’s A-OK to beat his wife…
Sad. And tragic.

And, at face value, it shows quite vividly what fine company Canada keeps on this file. But, do use a bit of caution when interpreting this map literally. I haven’t been able to track down the report from whence this came so am unable to assess the robustness of the methodology used to reach these […]

The Heritage robot, James Moore, has said that the CBC isn’t immune to Strategic and Operating Review cuts – and this has the Twittersphere et al squawking mightily. While I do strongly support the MotherCorp, I don’t see any reason why it should be immune from the same review that my and all government Departments […]

Shaky vid taken with my iPhone… but that was due to the stands which were shaking and swaying through the whole show! T’was a bit unnerving but once things kicked in, you kind of forgot about it.

What. A. Show.
If you have never had the opportunity to see Bono and the boys, find the time…
80,000 folks in Montreal last night would have enthusiastically agreed with me!

The CBC license approval has been delayed by the CRTC.
My spin, for what it’s worth: this gives the Cons some time to spin the benefits of privatizing / gutting the MotherCorp. Mark my words.

We have fairly suddenly become a nation of Hawks. War is good and it is necessary. Wave the flag mightily. Buy the best of the best for the troops. Support the troops, dammit! Our identity as brokers of peace and the keepers of peace is perhaps forever gone. Behold the new Canadian militarism. It’s everywhere. Hardly […]

Trashy's World: Gotta gloat…
… about seeing the greatest band in the world over the past 20 years or so – U2!!!!
Yup! Heading to the Hippodrome in Montréal this Saturday to see Bono and the boyz… Been a long time since I took in one of their gigs… last saw them on the 1992 Zoo TV tour in T.O.

….so why not post something?
I was standing in line at the LCBO on Thursday and eavesdropped on a conversation behind me between two middle-aged guys… probably not holders of PhDs, but not grade school drop-outs either.
Guy 1: Damned lineup! Why don’t they have more registers open?
Guy 2: It’s probably against union rules or something.
Guy 1: […]

Trashy's World: Happy CANADA Day!
NOT Dominion Day!
Today is to celebrate the birthday of a great (though currently politically misguided) and independent country. While our Constitution may refer to the land as a “Dominion”, the term is about as anachronistic as Christians turning Leviticus in the old testament for guidance… it just doesn’t “work” in modern times.
And technically, yes, we […]
