I have long been an advocate of improving our roads and transit. It has recently come to my attention that the government is not 100% to blame for the sorry state our Ontario's roads but rather the people using them.In the last week, I have noticed several problems. Most common of which involve running red lights, speeding, driving too slow, illegal...

Held Hostage
In the news today, the Canadian and British hostages being held in Iraq since November 2005 have been released. This is good news but brings up some questions about the war torn country.I am not here to express whether I approve of the US being in Iraq. I have decided to remain neutral on the subject as neither pro or anti war side is right or wrong....

Traffic in Milton: 6 Months Later
6 months ago (back when I was on Myblogsite, you can find the original post in the November Archive), I posted a rather lengthy article on traffic problems in Milton. I was looking at it and noticed that little has changed. I'll refer back to some of my original complaints and we'll see what has been done.Laurier & OntarioWhat's Been Done: NothingThis...

Copywrong
Recently, the RIAA and other similar organizations have told Canada we need to chage our copyright laws for the new digital age. I say go to hell.If anybody has even looked at the demands of these organizations, you know something is fishy. I'll give a couple of examples.Music: I buy a CD and I really like a song on it. I want to put that song on my...

Child Care Begins at Home
I've been very critical of the proposed childcare plane the Liberals and the NDP have developed. They are still pushing it but I do not think it is a good idea. Besides the unconstitutionality of a federal run system, there are other flaws.I'm putting on my social commentary hat on for this post. A family friend has her father in a government subsidised...

They have also welcomed tuition fee hikes.I think I can speak for most students and I'm declaring war on the greedy college teachers and those who try to bleed money out of struggling students....

Live and Let Die
Besides gays, scientology, and starving Africans kids, celebrities have hopped on yet another band wagon, animal rights.Former Beatle and Wings member Paul McCartney visited Newfoundland yesterday in a bid to put a stop to the seal hunt. He says it's cruel and barbaric to hunt the seals. I think it's cruel and barbaric to hear McCartney talk. Paul...

Ban Me
I've been playing video games since I was eight. Games were fun back then and relatively non violent. Characters like Sonic and Mario lit up our TV screens. I remember the fuss that the original Doom caused when it first came out. Everybody thought shooting cheesey looking monsters was going to drive our kids nuts and go on shooting sprees. I remember...
Supreme Idiots
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has rules that school boards cannot ban Sihk daggers from the classroom. For those who don't know, the Sikhs are the warrior class of India. Young Sikh men carry with them a cerimonial dagger known as a Kirpan.Several school boards in Quebec have attempted to ban students form carring these daggers to school....
