Such problems

The envy that must be brewing over the Alberta dividend checks has to be a real concern to the feds.

Albertans may end up getting much more than $300 when prosperity dividend cheques arrive in the mail later this year, Premier Ralph Klein said Monday.

Whose oil is it anyway?  We all know provinces have jurisdiction over natural resources, but who actually owns the resource? 

Sorry, but I say Canada does.  Let’s have some of that dough!

Mocking marriage

Rosie laments on the mockery celebs make of marriage.

The weird Zellweger/Chesney union would have been somewhat more understandable had the couple gone on a booze-infused toot and woken up hung-over the next morning to discover themselves matrimonially yoked.

Between labeling gay unions marriage, and what the famous call “marriage”, it’s no wonder young people today have no interest in making it official.

Society has made it meaningless… and society will pay.

In the dumps

John Downing writes that our garbage woes could be easily solved by simple incineration or filling the huge abandonned mines around our province.

The future will peer back at Toronto and think today’s politicians dumb to the point of silliness in how they handle garbage. And they’ll be right. We’re as primitive as if we still lived in caves.

Goodbye Gardiner again?

Looks like another leg of the Gardiner is up for debate.

Toronto before the Gardiner Expressway featured gridlock on Lake Shore Blvd., and bumper-to-bumper action on King, Queen and Dundas Sts., Cass said.

The Gardiner does look ugly in some spots, but it’s no more a blight on the waterfront than the row of ugly condos completely obstructing the lake.

The hits keep coming

So much for the latest crackdown.  Now there’s three more in the (body) bag.

The rash of shootings came just a day after Toronto police conducted a massive crackdown on a Rexdale street gang.

Perhaps we need to import the Jamaican police to take care of the Jamaican problem.  Ask any Jamaican about how they take care of the gun toters.

Keep growing, Pinocchio

It’s good to see our political leaders in a sense, grow up and mature while they are in office.

“It’s time for us to mature and in a sense grow up in Ontario when it comes to understanding what our energy needs are and making the decisions today that have been avoided yesterday to ensure that we have a reliable supply of affordable, clean, safe electricity,” he said.

Question is, will there be enough power to go around while he dithers with studies for the next few years?  Not everyone thinks so.

Return Mail Revenge

I don’t get nearly the junk mail that my relatives in the US get, but if I did, I might do this.

Tired of receiving mounds of unsolicited letters and offers in the mail? Want to fight back? Want to get rid of that old tire in your garage that the garbage man won’t take? Then read on……

For envelopes, I typically just right RTS and throw it back in the mailbox.

A GG to laugh at

Mark says our new GG is made for this country and the Liberals who enslave us.

A pair of faux-separatists turned faux-federalists make the perfect symbol for Canada’s increasingly meaningless identity

Let’s not roll

Mark isn’t happy at all with the memorial to the heroes of Flight 93.

At 9.58am Eastern time, Tuesday September 11th 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

Why?

As UPI’s Jim Bennett wrote, “The Era of Osama lasted about an hour and a half or so, from the time the first plane hit the tower to the moment the General Militia of Flight 93 reported for duty.”
