Its Time To Come Home
By: trec_lit I am troubled by the House of Commons voting to extend the “mission in Afghanistan” until 2011. When we first joined the US in invading and ridding the country of the Taliban and Al Queda it was a good idea. They are our neighbours and allies and they were attacked. As part of [...]
Authenticity – Calling Out Barak Obama
I had basically tuned out of the US Presidential election but being in the states for the last week I have been exposed to it in the newspapers and on TV. My curiosity has been piqued but the Clinton campaign calling out Obama on using another politician’s words in his speeches. At first I thought [...]
If I Haven’t Seen It, It’s New To Me
More videos from the “Behind The Music That Sucks” channel at Heavy.com TV seems to be a total lost cause lately. There are only a few shows that I get interested in lately. CSI: NY, Family Guy, Criminal Minds are the only ones that come to mind. If these shows were available on iTunes in [...]
The Trouble With Tories
What a crazy week in federal politics. It makes me nostalgic for my days as a trouble maker in the federal and provincial Liberal parties in the mid to late 80s in Ontario. Don’t get me wrong, I rolled up my sleeves and did a lot of hard work at the riding association level. It [...]
Civic Pride
Vancouver is a beautiful city, nestled between the mountains and the ocean there is no other place on earth like it. We all take pride in our city, the Sea Wall, our beaches, our parks and everything else that makes us unique. If anyone ever doubted that, it was made blaitantly obvious when there was [...]

Watching some of the Live Earth concert on the weekend brought back lots of memories of being at Live Aid in 1985. Especially when they were talking about Madonna playing there. I was just days away from turning 19 and a friend called an mentioned another friend of his was selling off the last two [...]
Hi I’m A Liberal Ads
Ok, so they are a blatent rip-off of the Mac ads, but I think the young Liberals have done a really good job!
Bottled Water Bad?
The cover of the new Maclean’s magazine asks the question, how much tap water are you willing to drink to save the planet? That’s a very interesting question. Especially to anyone living here on the Wet Coast (sic). We are constantly told to have 3 days of drinking water available in the case of an [...]
You Can’t Spin Mother Nature
Visit the site. I attended a very interesting workshop last night presented by James Hoggan, head of Hoggan & Associates here in Vancouver. He is the founder of the DeSmogBlog which tries to “clear the PR pollution that is clouding the science on climate change.” I have to say I was impressed at the level [...]
Mother Nature Is Pissed
I finally got an opportunity to see An Inconvenient Truth on my way back from Sydney, Australia last month. It was my second 14 hour flight in less than a week and thankfully Qantas has a great selection of films in their in-flight entertainment system. I’ve been thinking about it the last couple of days.
