I tried to watch Shake Hands on the way back to Regina, but watched a short film first, and missed out on the last 15 minutes of the chilling film.

I saw your blog for the first time today on the Canadian Blog Awards, and now I learned you're going to be on TV with me in a few weeks.

People sure do love to torture themselves, eh?

Perhaps he meant that the coup has taken place, and Americans don't realize it yet. He's sending a subtle warning that you're all prisoners in your country now, a police state.

I have only ever got about 400 hits from Stumblers, even on my crowning achievement - the Pet Foil Hat Technology. It got over .3Million hits while on eBay though over the years.

"military drum beat reminiscent of the 2006 Liberal ads "

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of too. Hahah, not.

Why have the Liberals stood down for Harper in a past election?
Some kind of shenanigans between Harper and the Liberals, eh?

CB, May is Canadian. If you asked her, she'd identify herself as a Canadian. You don't have to be born here to be a Canadian. And she didn't call Canadians stupid, the clip was cut and we can't know what she was agreeing with in her prior comment that politicians think Canadians are stupid.

Don't Conservatives have them on speed dial or something?

"What is the test for leader's courtesy?"

They are a party leader?
That could be taken advantage of, so there may need to be another test.

Why does Harper like some academic people, and not others?

Re: Spotted on Parliament Hill

Well, at least those signs were PROBABLY bought with Liberal money. What excuse do the Conservatives have for sending out millions of 10%er propaganda spams, including ones that were delivered after the writ was dropped? Those were paid for with taxpayer money, and were blatant Cosnervative election advertising. More ridiculous still, is that I've only got one bit of mail from the Conservatives since the campaign started, but about 10 since last year otherwise. I guess once the Conservatives realized they had to pay for their own ads, they became a lower priority.

Re: Green Party releases platform

After 3 more years of Conservative delay, it may indeed NOW not be possible. Of course they'd compare to the Conservative year of 2050, so people don't have to do conversion math in their heads.

The GST raise would go to municipalities; it sounds like a good idea.
Income tax exemption should have been $20,000 a decade ago.

I have to laugh at the people who say it's not a balanced plan, or that it would collapse the economy !!!11! Jaccard Report? Heard of it? No? Conservative like it that way.

Re: CPC Convention - Before the PM’s speech

Yes, what he said was inappropriate. He said the Liberals have done nothing to support the troops, which is of course an incorrect opinion at best.

Re: Adjournment?

Saskboy — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:34:45 -0000

Way for the Conservatives to copy the Liberals last session. When the going gets tough... DON'T SHOW UP TO THE JOB!

Re: CPC Convention - Before the PM’s speech

Saskboy — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 01:35:37 -0000

I know you to be a partisan too, and you should also know that it's ludicrous to suggest the Liberals have done "nothing" for troops. If sending them to Afghanistan is "nothing", then perhaps.

Re: Liberals first to go neg via proxy?

Saskboy — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 10:01:07 -0000

In this post 9/11 world, everything has changed. Conservatives make it up as they go along.

"But in this latest post-Dion, post-economic collapse round of the war where everyone is supposed to rise above, if the Conservatives are holding their fire so they won’t be blamed"

Why do I have a ten percenter Conservaspam from Stephen Harper (himself) since Ignatieff came to power then? Hmm?

It's frustrating to see Canadian culture go underrepresented on the WWW. The NFB is barely releasing some of its content online. If it werent for overly restrictive copyright law, ordinary Canadians with VHS or reel tape in hand could be digitizing our cultural film history and putting it on YouTube for the world to access.

Re: the misguided bottled water debate

Saskboy — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:20:15 -0000

If we don't distinguish between liquid consumables then it's okay to ban bottled drinks in some venues where there should be public fountains.

I'm looking forward to IE7 about as much as a kid looks for a vaccination. They know it's coming, but there's no godly way of avoiding it. The analogy ends there, since IE7 can only make a computer more sick in the future.

May has a much better chance against MacKay, that much is obvious. London Centre she came in a strong second to the Liberal, and she'll either be first or second in Central Nova.

One free traffic tip I can give is to always leave your blog URL in the Website field when you comment on another blog. You forgot to do that today ;-) on my blog.

Re: Netflix is dead

"It made me realize why would any of us go into a Blockbuster in the future, or wait two days for a DVD to show up from Netflix."

Because satellite Internet will always be laggy and few people will want to use it as their primary connection line. It will be more than a decade until most North American people are on the speed of modern broadband.

Re: Dreamhost sucky

Saskboy — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 02:34:22 -0000

I mooch off a friend http://www.1337hax0r.com who uses Dreamhost, and we tend to have about 3 hours of downtime every couple months. During the Summer it's attributed to power failures in California during hot days usually. I've considered switching, but my blog isn't a business, so I just suck up the lost hits.

Free speech is a very valuable thing. I hope the people of Egypt find a peaceful way to obtain it.
