I’ve begun a series of video-essays on YouTube (my channel is here) titled "Welcome to our Semi-Dark Age". The first episode is now up (in three parts, due to time length restrictions by YouTube) – hopefully, my skills at video recording/editing will improve as I make more videos.

Oh, poor, long suffering Dougy Ford, city councillor, side kick to his brother Mayor Rob “Boss Hogg” Fordzilla. Always the bridesmaid, but not the mayor. He seems to be bitching about too many libraries in Etobicoke and not enough Timmy Horton’s. Oh and he hasn’t a clue as to who Margaret Atwood is.

Before I continue, full disclosure: like many Quebecers, I am anti-monarchy and think it’s antiquated and a waste of tax dollars.

Finally, I post my thoughts about the NDP filibuster of Stevie Spiteful’s draconian Back to work legislation of locked out Canada Post workers and the press coverage it has received, along with many Canadians’ attitude toward it.
