Sarah Palin: History 101
Sarah Palin’s interview with CBS’s Katie Couric yesterday clearly demonstrates her lack of understanding of world issues. McCain has been hiding Palin from the media since her acceptance of the GOP VP spot last month. Palin has likely been locked up in a hotel room studying history and current world issues and practising answering media ...
Economic Roulette 1
In this article, the small-government proponent and Libertarian Ron Paul discusses why he thinks the government shouldn’t meddle in the economy when government fiscal policies created an inflated and unsustainable housing market in the first place. Paul thinks the free markets should face reality and let the situation sort itself out, otherwise he thinks the ...
The Real Sarah Palin
I wanted to learn more about what drives Sarah Palin, so what better way to learn about her than to watch a bunch of interviews with her prior to becoming John McCain’s right hand hockey-Mom. I think it’s borderline comical that some Americans really think that the key to energy independence is to “tap” every ...
Flip Flop Harper & Foolish Palin 5
The US Election race is heating up with bad-boy Karl Rove conceding that even John McCain has crossed the line in his Republican ads against Obama. Meanwhile, our Canadian Federal Election is coming up in less than a month (October 14th). In 2006 shortly after Stephen Harper became Prime Minister, he passed a law that ...
Air Conditioner Overuse 2
Have you ever been prompted to put on a sweater or a jacket in the middle of the summer while inside a building? Seems like a downright waste of energy doesn’t it? Well it happens a lot in North America and I find it completely ridiculous. This weekend is my first weekend in what seems ...
Sarah Palin for President? 1
This is my 600th blog! Wow these last 4 years flew by fast! I always try to give Americans the benefit of the doubt, because I’ve met many bright and worldly Americans over the years. But it doesn’t matter where you go; you’re always going to run into people with bizarre views in a country ...
Bottled Water Debate
The bottled water debate has fired up in London Ontario, and there is talk of bottled water at Toronto City Hall as well. London voted to ban the sales of water bottles in all municipal buildings to reduce waste in local landfills and help the environment. I’ve been happily drinking tap water for over 6 ...
Best Olympics ever? 2
The Beijing Olympics have now concluded, and in many ways, I think this has been the best Olympics games ever. China is a great nation that has been very welcoming to visitors for a long time, but the Olympics have opened the eyes of the world to China and it has proven to show the ...
Survived my 107KM Solo kayak trip 3
At 3:30PM today I returned from my 2-day solo kayak trip from Toronto to Oshawa and back to raise money for Noah’s Ark children’s home in the Philippines. Every muscle in my upper body is aching right now, but it was a great trip and totally worth the effort. On the way there I had ...
100KM KAYAK TRIP IS ON!
This weekend I’m planning on doing my kayak fundraiser by paddling 100KM in two days from downtown Toronto to Oshawa, Ontario. I will then be setting up camp along the shores of Lake Ontario before returning to Toronto the following day. Barring any unforeseen extreme weather conditions, I’ll be departing on Saturday morning at 6AM. ...
