http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070507.wspycoins0507/BNStory/National/home To summarize: Employees of some American defense contractors, when visiting Canada, were confused and worried by the "poppy" quarters. Thinking they were some special nano-technology device, they...

Bananas are the single most commonly eaten fruit in the world. In the 20s or 30s, disease pretty much wiped out the standard banana; that lead to the song "yes, we have no bananas". A new type of banana was developed, and the whole banana plantation thing lead to massive US gov't involvment...

Hmmm. Do you lose points for not being able to spell "Nunavut" and using the term "Provinces" when you have the Territories and "Maritimes"?

Moosehead Red (pale ale), or, obviously, Ten Penny...

So, our premier who doesn't seem to want to do anything is about to call an election, and run against the child-liberal who wants to be premier because his father never was (just like Paul Martin, I guess). The premier doesn't seem capable of making a decision, unless it results in money for...

We (small business, 15 employees) are currently not happy with our present host. Like all businesses, we use email a lot. When we travel across the country, we have to change smtp settings depending on what province we're in; for some employees, this is very, very hard to understand. And we...

Well well. The US gov't has decided to have the major ports on the east coast run by a company headed out of the United Arab Emirates. Of course, the UAE is a key ally of the US, but we wonder; after all, it wasn't that long ago that Iraq was an ally. Does it make sense to have your major...

The famous publisher of "The Western Standard" rose to a new low, printing a column critical of Ralph Klein's wife, in which is stated, "once she stops being the premier's wife, she goes back to being just another Indian." Yup, sure enough, Ezra, your defense of this column proves your...

Well, it looks like Michael Wilson will be the new ambassador to the US. Can't say I can find anything wrong with this choice. He's respected and knowledgeable. Glad to see all of Harper's appointments aren't as stupid as his cabinet.

So, let's hear everyone insist he resign and stand for a byelection. David Emerson has crossed the floor to join the Tories. Let the excuses begin!!!!!!!!!!! Will he get a cabinet post? Will we hear choruses of insults about how brainless he must be, and suggestions that he's nothing but a...

I see that in the true spirit of the NDP, Layton shows us all that private medical clinics are okay for some, but not for others. "I didn't know it was a private clinic". Right. At the time he got his operation, there was a lot of publicity about this private clinic. Good try Jack. Now try...

So at what point will Stephen Harper come out to insist that the 8,500 or so GM Canada workers who are getting the boot, should just suck it up and find new work? And he can point out that Ontario's auto economy needs to move into the new century, and stop relying on the rest of the country for...

If someone starts a second thread on a same topic discussed elsewhere, shouldn't the new thread be moved or locked? It seems to me that there are several topics, ie gay marriage, evolution, certain political issues, that are related. Every time a new thread is started the same old comments are...

According to the investigation by corrections, she didn't violate her parole, and the allegations made by her employer were false. Now, let me say that I have no sympathy for her, and I don't really understand why she is still alive; BUT...this guy who hired her sounds like a pervert, too. My...

So, here's a question. How many listeners will CBC radio lose after it's all over? I'm only really thinking of Radio One, because Radio Two fills such a niche. CBC TV is pretty much pointless, and Newsworld is hardly ever news anyway. I used to listen to Radio One almost exclusively. The...

If I were an American citizen, this is what I would say: Mr Bush, Mr Cheney, Ms Blanco: You must resign immediately. Your governments no longer have any respect or authority. You have all proven yourselves to be incompetent, criminally so; totally incapable of leading any sort of...

I see that Bank of America has bought the MBNA credit card company....more control in fewer hands. You know all those "affinity" cards, like University alumi ones, all that stuff? Did you know that most of them are MBNA cards, even in Canada, and that means....you can't use them in Cuba...

Anyone hereabouts ever used a GSM phone internationally? It looks like some of us in the office are going to be travelling overseas, and since North America is so independent, our phones are useless elsewhere.... I'm wondering if anyone out there has experience with trimode/quadmode phones...

Hot in Saint John? You bet it is. Yesterday at 4pm, right at the harbour, it was 30C. Unusual. I did ribs on Saturday night, using my mother's recipe...pineapple, ketchup, cinnamon, etc etc...simmer the ribs in the sauce, then finish them off on the bbq. Yesterday it was scallops. Tonight...
