Launching NiagaraList.ca 2

I have spent a large portion of my weekend so far on the launch of NiagaraList.ca. This one is for my family and buddies who live in the Niagara Region. There aren’t any decent free classified websites in the Niagara Region, so we have created NiagaraList.ca as an extension to TorontoList.ca. I’m hoping people in ...

Harper squeezes in 1

Thankfully, the Conservatives were only able to achieve a minority government. A majority Conservative government would likely send Canada down the same path as the United States wastfully spending billions of dollars on the “war on terror”, the missile defence system and homeland defense.

Olivia Chow is going to Ottawa 2

I think it’s safe to assume that Olivia Chow is going to win her riding at Trinity and Spadina this year. In 2004 she was beaten by Liberal Tony Ianno by only 2 percent. Mr. Ianno has held Trinity-Spadina since 1993. The reason I think Ms. chow will be the winner is because I currently ...

The new pad

So the rumours you might have heard are true. I have finally bit the bullet and purchased a place to call my own. Well it’s actually owned by a financial institution that was dumb enough to give me a big mortgage, but there is a document out there registered with the city that says it’s ...

Harper is no leader 1

In describing Stephen Harper in my previous post I couldn’t really find the right words to describe how I feel about Stephen Harper. Last night I read an article from one of my favourite writers, Eric Margolis who I think describes Stephen Harper perfectly. I will quote him: “The Liberals have been in power far ...

Liberals falling hard 1

The Liberals have made a huge mistake in their campaign. They have essentially lowered themselves to Stephen Harper’s level and the result has made Stephen Harper look like the good guy. My opinion originally was that Stephen Harper had a weak campaign of attacking and mocking the Liberals. As the campaigns progressed, I found that ...
