So. There is this website that the Ontario Liberals have set up called “Common Ground” that is designed to elicit comments from Ontarians on new policy directions. This is not a bad idea. But good ideas can be hijacked by special interests who would clearly be positively or negatively affected

Trashy's World: There are regular lies and misrepresentations…
… and then there are Conservative Party of Canada lies and misrepresentations! And the latter category can contain some whoppers!!! This is what has me pissed off: Please find below a statement from the Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. Yesterday we learned that Justin Trudeau’s
Continue readingTrashy's World: I hadn’t yet weighed in on Marois’ Charter of Quebec “Values”…
… because I was waiting to see exactly what it was going to look like… And, well, I’m disgusted. I’m sickened that any government in this country would go far as to prohibit the wearing or display of anything that does not in any way harm another person nor take
Continue readingTrashy's World: JT smoked pot
Wow. Stop the presses! Big freaking deal. So Steve thinks that the honest admission of Justin T that he smoked some weed a few years ago is enough of a reason to declare the leader of the LPC as unfit to be PM. Yet, according to Mr. Harper, a PM
Continue readingTrashy's World: Yeah, the weather is WAY too nice to work…
… I think I’ll prorogue work! Thanks Prime Minister Harper! Way to show leadership and initiative! I am taking your lead and proroguing until October. And like you Parliamentarians, I’ll continue to be paid, right? (7) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario
Continue readingTrashy's World: DJ’s Roofing – anyone know about them?
If so, someone should tell the owner that a bunch of yahoos in one of their trucks (didn’t get the phone number and can’t find them with Google) ran the stop sign at the three-way stop at the end of my street last night (August 17) at about 7 pm…
Continue readingTrashy's World: Banning scooters from streets…
It’s about time that someone pushed this issue up a flagpole! I don’t always agree with Councillor Clark, but the issue of scooters on city streets should at the very least be studied by city staff and recommendations put forward. There is going to be a tragedy one of these
Continue readingTrashy's World: Maybe I’m wrong, and there really IS a God!
At least, this news is tantamount to divine intervention in my books!!! Fox News North does NOT have to be offered on basic cable… a victory for those Canadians everywhere with IQs higher than the length of Pierre Polievre’s nose, in centimetres. (2) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario
Continue readingTrashy's World: Some of the PCPO MPPs are being just plain ol’ scumbags today…
Like this guy, for example: I’m pretty sure that no one has been convicted of an offence. I guess Mr. Bob Bailey MPP doesn’t really care about stuff like “charges” and “due process”. (1) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario
Continue readingTrashy's World: E Day in Ottawa South!
Woot! Come on everyone! Woot with me! I just don’t “get” people who don’t get excited about elections. It is the one tangible time when we, as citizens, can choose what a part of our democracy will look like. As we are CITIZENS, dammit! Not “taxpayers” as conservatives like to
Continue readingTrashy's World: John Fraser has earned the right to represent Ottawa South as the MPP
The Liberal Party nominee has come under some criticism during the Ottawa South by-election over some files that were the responsibilities of his predecessor, and the former Premier, Dalton McGuinty. These have not been fair criticisms. I, as a resident of the riding for 10 years and as an active

… indicate that the newest royal attention seeker has been born and he shall be named Heir-a-born, son of Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Gimli, son of Gloín is appointed the Royal diaper washer while Gollum will act as his nanny. Joe Oliver is apparently jetting across the Atlantic as I
Continue readingTrashy's World: Citizen article on OCDSB playstructures
Great piece on the state of playstructures in Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools. I’m hoping the Board steps up in the fall and ups its funding commitment to playstructure renewal projects. I, as a parent and member of school council, would like our school’s volunteer efforts to focus on
Continue readingTrashy's World: Just so I understand…
… because I surely must be confused. The public service is fat, bloated, overpaid and benefits from a pension plan that is second to none (except, of course, that MPs have access to, but that’s different, I guess). Bureaucrats and their hated unions – and those danged union bosses are
Continue readingTrashy's World: B-Bye, Alfie….
… hope Sen fans give you an honourable reception when you return to the Scotiabank Place, er, Corel Centre, errrr, Canadian Tire Centre… or whatever they are calling that place out in the boonies these days! (6) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

… The would prevent Alfredsson from ever leaving Ottawa! Seriously, while I would feel a little sorry for some of my buds who will be utterly gutted if their hero leaves Kanata, I will also feel a bit of schadenfreude…. I do remember their glee when Mats left the Leafs…
Continue readingTrashy's World: “Here, take this cheque and for gawd sake, keep quiet.”
… said Nigel to Mike. Well, it now seems obvious that the 90K cheque cut by Nigel was indeed “hush money“. The question is, what comes next? This is looking worse and worse for the Harperites… And I still cannot believe that the PMO was in the dark over this.
Continue readingTrashy's World: Cletus, Jethro, Beula and Slim…
… would all be great names for the yet-to-be-born latest British royal anachronism! I listened with disgust this morning as some zombie from the monarchist league of Canada (yes, they’re still around and huffing and puffing their “I love da Queen!” royal crap) was being interviewed on Ottawa morning. He
Continue readingTrashy's World: Alberta floods, where’s Steve?
As far as I can tell, the only reaction from Harper concerning the horrible situation in southern Alberta has been this piece on conversations that he had with Premier Redford and Calgary Mayor Nenshi indicating that Feds will help out if needed. But where is he? Shouldn’t he be there

I thought it was worth re-posting this entry from 6 years ago… Gonna miss that big lug. ===================================================================================================================== I don’t often blog about TV shows. To me, it is a bit of a waste of time editorializing about fiction – especially fiction presented on this medium. But I don’t mind
