Tim’s tiny Tories get all whiny about not being let into the Liberal platform launch, and try, disingenuously, to garner sympathy from Ontarians this fine Labour day. People don’t give a shit. And people, particularly normal people (i.e. those not associated with campaigns), don’t really give a shit about leaks, anonymous sources and which political […]

A collection of diplomatic history since 1966 to the present day. This sentence is changing the world, unintentionally. The US State Department would have given its left testicle for this code phrase until last week. Maybe they didn’t have to, because it was published in a fracking book by an arrogant ass of a journalist […]
gritchik: Front and centre
Our guy is front and centre while Tim Hudak has been cut. How do I know this is a great ad? Because a Tory involved in their campaign told me so.
“You guys hit it out of the ballpark with this one,” he said. “It’s fucking brill…
gritchik: Tim’s week of pre-writ stumbles – more to come
Read original release here. Poor Timmy. Tim Hudak’s No Good, Very Bad Week TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2011 /CNW/ – This week, Tim Hudak tried to jump the gun and kick off the provincial election campaign a week early, but stumbled before he even got out of the gate. On Monday, Hudak showed off his campaign […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Throw It Out
I’m cleaning up on Saturday, and it’s hard. There is no more Second Time Office Equipment, and SARCAN won’t take electronic waste of various sorts that they should be. I had to pitch a floor pedestal fan yesterday because repairs had failed – but the plastic and metal in it should be recycled. The problem […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Girly Men Are The Real Thing!
Harper Government: Changing our genes and caffeine. Arnie the Governator was right! There are girly men. Do you know what’s causing them, and causing girls to hit puberty before their parents have time to buy them inappropriate clothing? The Harper Conservatives, the Free Enterprise (Tea Party) Republicans, and the heartless industries poisoning you. Coke and […]
Writings of J. Todd Ring: Judging by the cover
It’s an easy fault, and we all have done it: judging the book by the cover – making assumptions without bothering to find out what the real story is, or who the person is we’re slagging aloud or in our thoughts – often without e…
Continue readingSlap Upside The Head: The Story Of My (Super Gay) Wedding
The following article was one that I originally wrote for the September, 2010 issue of Outlooks magazine. It talks about my wedding last year, and although I’ve now already celebrated my first wedding anniversary, I figured this would be a worthwhile time to reflect on a very special group of lobbyists that tried their hardest […]
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Montreal Zero One
While in Montreal on our honeymoon, we stayed in an independent hotel. As with some parts of Montreal, the neighbourhood wasn’t high class, but the staff and accommodations certainly were. Have you ever been offered complimentary apples in a lobby before? And the prostitutes, down the block at night, won’t say a word to you […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Change You Can See
Being the change you want to see in the world — it’s not just a clever slogan, it’s the only direct way someone can change their circumstances. Here are some stories of people doing things differently to make a difference for others. I plan to work on Victor’s campaign this Fall, as Saskatchewan goes to […]
Excited Delirium: Norway: Why the Police Absence?
Why were the Norwegian police training for an event that took place literally minutes after they were finished their training?
Continue readingSlap Upside The Head: Lesbian Couple Forced to “Unmarry” Before Entering The States
A married lesbian couple has complained to the media after being forced to declare themselves as non-family members in order to enter the United States for a vacation. Karen-Mary Perry and Andrina Perry were married back in 2008, and typically fill out a single US customs form whenever they travel. The forms indicate that “only […]
Continue readinggritchik: Top secret Hudak event
Here’s a shot snapped by a friend of mine of Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak exiting the modest premises at 23 Suncrest Drive in Toronto’s impoverished Bridlepath enclave, just a short while ago this evening. Doesn’t exactly resemble a Tim Horton’s, does it? You’d never catch Stephen Harper making a rookie mistake like this one […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Past Irony
I find it ironic that Jack Layton was saying in the early 1990s what I was saying about the televised leaders debates in 2011 for the federal election. The independent media should set up debates, and if a party doesn’t show up, have a card-board cutout of the missing leader to demonstrate their absence. In […]
gritchik: Hudak gets cut
Anyone else notice that the PC ads now airing have less and less to do with Tim Hudak? Once the main focus, he now seems little more than an afterthought. The Tories seem to recognize that they have a very real problem with women. But phasing out Hudak before the writ is even dropped is […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Topless Or Brainless
I know what I’d rather be on a hot day. Making women wear clothing for religious/cultural reasons is something most John Gormley listeners critcise, but only if those women are in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan and it’s Islamic garb. If they are Westerners/Christians in Toronto or Regina, then those women had better follow customs and […]
gritchik: Hudak’s bus
I can understand why politicians bring their families on campaigns – mostly for support but also to make a candidate seem more warm, likable, etc. Nothing wrong with that. Speaking as a mom though, I don’t know if I’d put a child who’s been recently ill on a campaign bus. I’ve been on a campaign […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Bike Sharing in Canada
This Summer I had the pleasure of using bike sharing in Ottawa. Had I know how easy it was, I’d have used it in Toronto too, and possibly Montreal while I was there. One thing I’m unclear about is if the Bixi Bikes in different cities are compatible, and billed as if they are one […]
Blevkog: An Internet Explorer Tip
For all the people out there using Internet Explorer, here’s a tip on how to block specific websites that could harm your computer, or, in this case, hurt your brain with sheer illogic and spite: Step 1, open up the Tools menu and click on Intern…
