The Pentagon’s F-35 programme director wants to slow down production because of the mass of problems turning up in testing. “The analyzed hot spots that have arisen in the last 12 months or so in the program have surprised us at the amount of change and at the cost,’ U.S.

Michele Bachmann believes that gays should be able to get married as long as they marry somebody of the opposite sex. Jane Schmidt, a student at Waverly High School, in Waverly, Iowa, recently asked Michele Bachmann, “Why can’t same-sex couples get married?” “They can get married,” Bachmann responded, “but they

Poor Mayor Boss Hogg, He just can’t take it anymore! He looks like he’s about to go a cryin’ to his big bro, Doughnut Dougy. I mean, just take a look at how pathetic he is! Oh yeah! Since ol’ Angie Perischilli left the Toronto Star, the paper’s journos and

The final major piece of work that I have to do for school before the break is a paper looking at some of the ways that the G20 summit in Toronto in 2010 showed up in media discourse. I’ve dived back into that assignment in the last day or two

The numbers alone mask a deeper problem. Not only are jobs disappearing — the jobs that remain are low paying and often part-time. Canada's manufacturing sector is especially hit; and replacing manufacturing jobs with call centres is not a good societal exchange: http://bit.ly/rLwM5O Canada's labour market has hit a wall,

Oh, we know we shouldn't, but we just can't get enough of the Goudreau. He really is our guilty pleasure. Last night it came to our attention that the Goudreau has a twitter account. Curious, we decided to take a look. While everything he twitters is the mundane crap he

The Conservative denial machine is in full swing this afternoon, as I predicted it would be yesterday. Now that Stephen Harper has deliberately made himself complicit in the lie, we may be quite sure that his arrogant, deceitful kleptocrat of a deputy, Peter MacKay, will never be disciplined for lying

Can you feel the 1812 commemorative vibe, people? It’s coming, get ready. A Conservative MP, Gord Brown, on his riding’s 1812 re-enactment plans, somewhat lacking in specificity: Here’s a description of some of the plans, from his release: The Lions Club of Gananoque will present a community commemoration of the

So I’m kinda dumb sometimes and I was wondering if it’s possible to impeach a mayor to get them out of office. So of course I did a Google search on “impeach the mayor”. Now I’m not sure if it’s just because Google searches use your region in the algorithm but
