Or 新年快樂. I found a couple of different translations. Gong Xi Fa Ca! Gong Hei Fat Choy! Anyhow, Happy Lunar New Year to all my colleagues in the Middle Kingdom! (assuming that I haven’t been flagged by the Great Firewall) and all of my Chinese, Thai (สวัสดีปีใหม่) and Vietnamese (chúc

I have no argument with the vast majority of mainstream economic theory. In fact I will quickly suggest that I understand and agree with the following items: Competitive advantage: trading partners generate higher overall productivity via trade.

Terahertz: Canada is screwed in the long term
I’m not found of believing in miracles, but imagine for a second that one happens and after 2015 we have either a NDP or Liberal majority, or even some coalition arrangement of the two. Either case will be better then what we have now, obviously, but in either case we’re

.. how many of you have seen the cheesy ad (oops… NOT an ad… just a video, according to the NCC) made by that reactionary of all reactionary groups in Canada – the so-called National Citizen’s Coalition. I don’t think it is getting a lot of air time. And it

Canada has the best government, the best history, and the best culture, but what makes me proudest to be Canadian, is not the democracy, not the tolerance and diversity, not the public health care, nothing, absolutely nothing makes me prouder to be Canadian than the Canadians who believe they can

Millions of internet users and entrepreneurs already opposed the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act (aka SOPA and PIPA), including Google. Why NO SOPA? In case you missed it, somecanuckchick dot com went dark — along with thousands of others — on January 18, 2012 to protest SOPA

If a cash-strapped province or state had to make painful cuts to public services, the immediately noticeable effect would be the outright elimination of some of them. One would not think of, say, laying off a fraction of all bus drivers and asking the remaining ones to work longer hours,
