The word on the street is that that the Conservatives are trying to hijack the image of Tommy Douglas in an effort to repair their reputation, especially in the field of health care. None other than Stockwell "Doris" Day has been quoting Tommy and making reference to him...trying to paint Tommy...

I thought we should copy the girls. Being men we aren't good at gossiping though. Just post your random thoughts or a B when you have a sip of beer. Maybe later we can go out and see some peelers.

Senior Dies in Alberta after Hunger Strike

First George Bush decided to force his regressive and uninformed views on abortion on countries and NGOs that require aid to fight AIDS. Next he took away the condoms. Now he's cutting off aid to countries that do not outlaw prostitution and NGOs that give aid to prostitutes. Science say he's...

This is really good to see: The Guardian

I mowed the very back of my yard today. That means I got to use my 1956 Allis Chalmers walking tractor. I loaned it to bro-in-law first, so it came back in perfect working order, including all new knife sections on the sickle mower. The important thing about antique equipment is to get...

I've been using this Deep Cold stuff on my knees and ankles for my arthritis. Like most arthritis things its only effect seems to be to keep Mrs. Rev from insisting that I go see the doctor so she can prescribe some pills that I can't take. I don't know what's in this stuff but it smells...

Reporters without Borders

Since some of the Americans on this forum are saying that we are all wrong to criticize their government and their country, maybe they would like to define themselves.

The Politics Watch Vote Selector is really left over from the last election, but since the issues haven't changed it is still valid. Check it out. I got: Jack Layton Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada (score = 100) Gilles Duceppe Leader of the Bloc Quebecois (score = 61) Paul...

It's construction season in Winnipeg. For the second day in a row men with hardhats have blocked my driveway with heavy equipment. They've also got the road blocked off for a half a block in either direction. If something bad happened right now, the ambulance guys would have to walk in. Why...

This Sunday we're going out to Narcisse to look at the snakes. It's actually like a huge snake orgy out there. They wake up and crawl out of their hole and the first thing they do is mate. After that they wander off to spend the summer doing snake things. 8)

Just to start this thread off, read this article. It's American, but the framing it refers to is the thing that right-wing think tanks like the Fraser Institute are doing in conjunction with the Conservatives and the right side of the Liberal Party. The thing is that politics has become a high...

So anybody have any odd but fun recollections? The reason I ask is that a little bit ago I watched a couple of drunk boys drive a truck into the ditch. It's a deep ditch, so it likely qualifies as a crash. It's okay though...I helped them escape. Actually I gave them each a beer to drink in...

Bush's nominee for Ambassador to the UN is in trouble. Turns out he tried to have a CIA analyst fired for disagreeing with him, requested secret documents in an attempt to spy on his peers in government, and has a history of being abusive to underlings. Bush gave a little speech saying that...
