    Dear Guests

    Dear Guests: Welcome to this nice little board. We love having company, especially if they bring us beer. Even if they show up beerless though, they are still appreciated. We would like to see this board get bigger though, and something that seems very common to the guests is that they...

    When's the Next Election

    Well, they just about did it on Friday night. Just a few months after the last election, as soon as Parliament got back to work, they almost dragged us into another morass of electioneering. It wasn't even over a real issue, it was over the Throne Speech. There is no legislation attached to...

    So today at work...

    Today at work a major controversy arose. Our main client, a major retailer with a flyer that looks like Disneyland if Michael Eisner was even greedier and more afraid of offending people, sent us some women's underwear. They send us women's underwear a lot. We hire the appropriate models and...

    The UN, Human Rights Groups, Aid Agencies, and Canada

    Since we managed to drag the other thread on the UN way off topic, I thought I'd start a new one. I'm not sure exactly where we were when we got lost but I thought I'd expand the title a bit. In my view, Canada should be working through the UN a lot more; giving at least 0.7% (I'd prefer to...

    Work...and other unclean subjects.

    I have an odd job. I work at a photo studio that shoots a flyer for a huge retailer every week. I vowed back in photo school that I would never waste my love of photography shooting this crap and I've mostly managed to keep that promise. Instead I babysit the camera monkeys that have allowed...

    difference between Harper and Martin

    Could somebody please explain the difference between Harper and Martin to me? Besides the radical right religion that Harper adheres to I mean. I want facts too...no accusing all Liberals of being crooked...the Conservatives' record is no better. Both are the mouthpieces of big business, both...

    The Cost of War for Iraqis

    The cost of war for Iraqi has been high. It was high before the Gulf War, when they were being encouraged to attack Iran. It was high when the Reagan regime was opposing sanctions for Saddam's gassing of the Kurds, and they remain high today. Here is an interesting article from Common Dreams...
