World’s Peacekeeper – Canada?

Posted by: agsharma on: October 31, 2007

First, from this article check out the picture on top : “In the service of peace 1947 – Present” and here is the oxymoron…… Canada’s military exports have soared in the past decade, a CBC News investigation has found, yet the federal government has not released an annual report on exports of arms and high [...]

Heroes

Posted by: agsharma on: October 30, 2007

Is it just me or is the second season of Heroes going down the crapper? One dimensional stories. One dimensional characters. No explanation of the close of last season (a few characters were supposed to have been dead. What the hell are they doing in season 2?) Some characters have suddenly changed powers (excuse me [...]

Oh Boy

Once confined to the world of rock and roll…… Women in several countries have begun sending their panties to Myanmar embassies in a culturally insulting gesture of protest against the recent brutal crackdown there, a campaign supporter said Friday. “It’s an extremely strong message in Burmese and in all Southeast Asian culture,” said Liz Hilton, [...]

A Thought On The Thorne Speech

Posted by: agsharma on: October 17, 2007

The Thorne Speech last night (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071017.wthrone17/BNStory/National/home) It is a push by Harper to model Canada into a USA. 1) Tougher crime bill (just like in the US)2) Discarding Kyoto (just like US did)3) Establish permanent stations in Arctic regions (thereby posturing againstRussia and Denmark which something US does against allies all the time)4) Put a [...]

Morning Funnies

The funniest thing I saw this morning…… …….I was walking out of the Union Station and saw a man dressed in Santaoutfit a little further away. As I got closer I saw he was a homeless guywho had a donation box with a sign on it that made me like everyone aroundme fish out change [...]

Stupid Headline Of The Day

Posted by: agsharma on: October 16, 2007

From nationalpost…… Throne speech signals Conservatives ready to govern …..so what exactly were the conservatives doing for the last 20 months? Campaigning? Posturing? Solidifying? Jerking off?

Meanwhile……

…….bullshit continues in the US. Many politicians and pundits in Washington have ignored perhaps the most important point made by Gen. David Petraeus in his recent congressional testimony: The defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq requires a combination of conventional forces, special forces and local forces. This realization has profound implications not only for American [...]

Aaaaalllllllllll Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!

This is the way to fight corporations!! NEW YORK – Back in the day, fans would have congregated at midnight at their local music stores to get first crack at a new Radiohead album. How old-fashioned. Instead, the release of Radiohead’s seventh studio album, “In Rainbows,” was received Wednesday with online hysteria from fans, the [...]

The Ontario MMP System

Posted by: agsharma on: October 3, 2007

The more I think of it, the more I like the MMP system. What is the MMP system? I won’t go into the details of the system as there are thousands of sites that could explain (just google MMP Ontario) more lucidly than I can. All I will say is that MMP allows you to [...]

Radiohead

Posted by: agsharma on: October 2, 2007

Is this the beginning of a revolution….. The band Radiohead is apparently coming out with a new album; the first after its original record deal was completed. It appears that, like many other musicians, they’re realizing that the traditional recording industry business model doesn’t quite make sense for them. While there was some buzz about [...]

Misplaced Priorities

Posted by: agsharma on: October 2, 2007

Over the last year or so we, as other couples with children 6 years old or less, have been receiving $100 each month under the universal child care program. This was part of the $5 billion plan (for 5 years) laid out by the previous liberal government to create a country wide network of subsidised [...]

Gays And The Right

Posted by: agsharma on: October 1, 2007

Everyone in the right-wing arena (blogs, mainstream, talk show etc.) is upin arms over the comments made by the Iranian president Mahmood Ahmadinejadwhen he visited the US. He said that "there are no gays in Iran" whicheveryone knows is a blatant lie. Now the right wingers are rightly (excuse the pun) mocking this stupidstatement. But [...]
