    Woman shot dead by "deer hunter"

    In New York a woman out walking her dogs after dark was shot to death by a neighbor who mistook her for a deer and shot her from 200 yards with a pistol. There is about 5 things wrong with that statement and I seriously doubt that this is what actually happened.

    JT in NL to apologize for Res schools

    In what I am sure will be a classic in the genre Justin will deliver his take on the apology for the residential school thing. There may be actual tears. Well warranted in this case. A terrible and unbelievable episode/experiment in human engineering. To call it a failure would be a gross...

    Ontario College strike busted

    Ontario orders college faculty back to work after their last offer was rejected by 86% of the membership. It reminds me of the Mike Harris Common Sense Revolution which saw Ontario break strikes with great regularity. 5 weeks is a long time and I hope this cohort of students does not lose a...

    Rights for non-humans

    There is a initiative to bestow basic rights on the Southern Resident Killer Whales, who are endangered and not doing very well.

    Google is watching over you

    Interesting internet censorship going on right now. If you go to Google news and start typing in the killer's name Google will not give it as a suggested result. In order to read stories about the Texas Church Killer you have to type his whole name into the search box. Thank you Google for all...

    Ufc 217

    Not a huge MMA fan but I am considering getting tonight's ppv. The return of GSP is a pretty big deal for this new sport. Having him fight Bisping for the MW title is also interesting - although Bisping is widely considered a one and done champ. Plus there's Gambrandt vs Dillishaw for the BW...

    Hysterical remarks re climate change from our new gov general. She basically said creationists are idiots - which is of course true but a little uncalled for.

    Jason Kenney Alberta's Dream come true

    Finally Alberta has a leader who is suitable to lead the wide array of conservatives in that province. Someone who can nurture those delicate bonds between the white nationalists and various other racists and crack pots. Racheal and the NDP had better put their cups on and get ready to do...

    Vive le Catalonia libre?

    Seems to me that the situation in Spain should be of special interest to Canada. We have faced a very similar situation with Quebec separatism. It will be interesting to see how far Spain will go to squash this thing.
