I have read at least two Huffington Post articles, on the newspaper’s Canadian website, about the need for more women to get involved in Canadian politics. One was more focused on the proper means by which women should enter po…

A Canadian documentary that starts with the CIA’s failed, lame attempt to develop LSD as a truth serum/mind-control agent. Instead, it became the catalyst for thousands of old beatniks and young hippies, formerly staid scientists and political activists to all come together in a radical questioning of authority. Isn’t it funny how as soon as […]

Since the Harper Government™ spent as much money on security for 2010’s G8/G20 summits as any other ten countries would have, you’d think they’d at least have earned high marks for, you know, security. You’d be wrong. An internal RCMP review says the Conservative government’s choice of Ontario cottage country as the 2010 G8 Summit venue offered would-be snipers "ideal conditions" to assassinate a world leader. It says the hilly, wooded terrain around Huntsville, Ont., featured not only excellent vantage points for gunmen, but covered approaches for intruders, and problematic land and water routes leading in and out of the area. … It also says the decision to host the G20 Summit in Toronto immediately afterwards "added a significant planning challenge" that prompted a "complete re-examination of the G8 Summit security." And here I thought security was one of those areas that ranked right up there with the economy as a core competency of Conservatives. The editorial board at the Globe and Mail must be so proud….
