Trashy's World: Crazy will beget more crazy…
So bye-bye 2015 and hi to 2016! 2015 was pretty momentous, yo. What with a new game in town on the Hill, the Jays making a legit run to the WS and Donald Trump proving once again that are neighbours to the south can be a bit unbalanced from time to tim…

I don’t often “recycle” posts. Yes, I am lazy, but what’s the point of a blog if you just re-post old stuff? But I thought that I’d dig up last years “Resolutions” post to see how I made out and to add any new stuff. Turns out it was a

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…

No, this isn’t an Onion article. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Like a million monkeys hammering in a million keyboards, something coherent might eventually pop out.

… Before I have a second glass of Pinot Noir… – not be as critical of our Dear Leader and encourage all my friends to cut he and his Cabinet some slack. They’re trying really darned hard – not ridicule Tea Baggers and their ilk who are found south of

… is something that one would think would be important to retailers at this time of the year. Not so much if you happen to frequent the Loblaws at Elmvale Acres. This place is the perfect example of how NOT to do customer service! Here is the lineup last night, 5 days before Christmas:

… unapologetically-a-fan-of-my-MP edition… I am getting more than a little pissed off about the treatment that my MP, David McGuinty, is getting these days just because he lost his composure for an instant and blurted something that, albe…

Ah. Another session of Parliament and another tome of an omnibus bill. Despite whines and screeches to the contrary, there is lots of new stuff in this 450 page monstrosity! The Navigable Waters Act, Indian Act, Customs Act, Hazardous Materials, the Fisheries Act, Canada Shipping Act… The list goes on

First, I am sorrow-filled for yet another young person who has taken their own life because of bullying. The message that bullying is not acceptable and can have disastrous impacts – well, it’s not getting through. Not well enough, anyhow. As a Dad, this is becoming increasingly difficult to watch.

What the hell is with McGuinty and all of this nanny state nonsense? Banning teens from tanning beds? Really? Isn’t this the job of a parent? This move is totally unnecessary. Ontario is preparing legislation to ban the use of tanning beds by people under the age of 18. Premier

So the Grits will name their new leader next April. Let the games begin!

I don’t think there is a neighbourhood competition to see how many bags of poop can be deposited at the same stop sign. I don’t get it. You go to the bother of walking your mutt, picking up its feces and then you just leave the bag behind. Here was
