The Devil Made Me Do It

“The devil made me do it,” used to be a facetious mantra some years ago. Most people knew it was facetious, and few ever took it seriously, always aware of their own personal responsibility in the “do it” part. I have enormous sympathy for Holly Jones’ family. What happened to their daughter was terrible. Despicable. […]

Dolton McSquinty

WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn] dolt n : a person who is not very bright; “The economy, stupid!” I received an email from my brother today, with a spreadsheet attached. The spreadsheet shows how much your Provincial taxes will increase as the result of our Ontario Fiberal’s new wonderful tax plan. Here’s what my brother had

Asif Is A Funny Guy

There’s a fellow named Asif Hossain who is apparently running for the Progressive Canadian Party in the ‘Trinity-Spadina’ riding in Toronto. I first came across Mr. Hossain while browsing Canada.com’s Speakout area, specifically this message in response to an article about the Tories leading over the Liberals. I was mildly interested in Asif, and did

Hmm. Maybe Harper “Gets” Some Of It

I’m a small business owner. Started my business from scratch (well, had and still have, a talented business partner who taught me tons of stuff), never took out a bank loan, and never, absolutely won’t, applied for, or received a government grant/loan.

Apparently, “vulgar and harsh” language can have the boys in blue with guns at your house, executing a search warrant. And especially if that harsh and

Children’s Aid Society’s View Of Children

The CAS apparently supports the guy who is saying this in an Ontario Courtroom, as quoted from the Globe And Mail: “Can we be more culturally arrogant than to dismiss an entire nation without even seeing it?” He compared the foster parents’ plans to adopt the girls to the “wholesale expropriation” of aboriginal lands.” Yeah,

Democrats On Iraq

Next time you’re talking to some die-hard ‘Bush Hater’, ask them about these quotes: (These were sent to me by an acquaintance and I cannot take credit for compiling them. As well, I’m no huge fan of the Iraq war, but I’m a little tired of the left wing hypocrisy that’s ubiquitous in both the

Libertarians And Linux

I’m sometimes asked, because of my Libertarian leanings, why I use Linux, and not some proprietary operating system like Microsoft. There is no such thing as a “Linux, Inc.” that makes money from creating updates for the Linux Kernel. It’s all Open Source, and some say, “sheesh Ian, that sounds like communism to me!” I
