Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Those Facebook Games
Facebook games are getting more, and more easy all of the time. Just see how long it takes you to solve one of the typical Find-A-Word game images that goes around. Here’s my contribution to the game-spam. Share it once you find the solution! Spread my meme!

German court sparks outrage: According to the court ruling, “the fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighs the fundamental rights of the parents.” … “The child’s body is permanently and irreparably changed by the circumcision. This change runs counter to the interests of the child, who can decide

I’m sure this new legislation in France will impress the hell out of libertarians world wide. The French have identified that statistically, alcohol is involved in some 30% of traffic collisions. The solution? Mandatory breathalysers in every car. Al Jazeera breaks this story wide open: “A new motoring law

Parasites are nasty things that take the lifeblood of other creatures, and escape to reproduce with it, leaving damage and disease in their wake. There are wood ticks and deer ticks. How do they differ from Spillopec (Sinopec) and Pains Midstream Oil [Spill], and other Ethical Oil companies? The oil

I think it’s rather clever how these researchers, Tom Cornwall & Anke Kessler, realized that the individual polling stations within a riding could be used to determine the effect of robocalls and fraudulent live-calls targeted at non-Conservative voters! The various neighbourhoods tend to vote in a particular manner, possibly related

I have such amazing staff. Its 7:30pm & almost all of my staff are working hard, many preparing for an exciting policy announcement tomorrow — Jason Kenney (@kenneyjason) June 19, 2012 Almost all…the rest are helping him craft apologies to Alberta’s deputy premier. After a day of patented Kenney House

Made In Canada hypocrisy. There’s nothing more Canadian than the Conservative Party serving up the opposite of what it said it would do earlier. You can set your watch to the opposite of whatever time they tell you it is, so long as you wait a few weeks or a

Another attack ad that can’t be run now. Such a shame. Who knows, maybe the Mulcair thing will catch on though…

(The following is reported {in jest} by Richard of Cornwall) — “Since the former Liberal Government created the new territory of Nunavut, the Canadian calendar industry has been suffering. It is the intention of the Harper Government to redress this wrong.” This is a quote from Stephen Harper on a

What’s going on inside the House of Commons today is no laughing matter. In fact, Minister Tony Clement told me that if I don’t like his joking about the step back from democratic debate in Canada, I shouldn’t read his tweets. Seriously. @saskboy @kady Don't like my sense of humour?

I may have marked this milestone in February, but Google doesn’t tell me I did, and I don’t remember. Old bloggers also repeat themselves. My blogging is ten years old this year, making me a veritable Tyrannosaurus Rex of Open Data. I started posting photos and tales of my voyages

Here’s a video out of small-town New Brunswick that’s gone viral, From Sussex and I Know It. The lyrics are a little hard to understand, but I’ve copied them below: * First Verse When I walk on by, cow be lookin’ like damn he fly Big piece of meat, with

The context of the “joke” might change my opinion slightly. It’s sort of sad that some kids are so isolated as to not recognize scat, and its inedible quality. Were it not for the melodramatic handling of the parents, they might come to laugh about it some day. Should the

Independent MP Bruce Hyer has put forward a motion to improve House of Commons decorum: Independent MP calls for ‘random’ Commons seating plan NDP-turned-Independent MP Bruce Hyer told the CBC’s Julie Van Dusen Thursday he’s introducing a private member’s motion calling for random seating in the House of Commons.
