Some things better left unspoken 1

A January 12th news release announced that the US airline carriers  have gone 2 years without a single passenger fatality. Although this is a remarkable achievement, some things are better left unspoken. The first thought that crossed my mind is that we’re going to see a plane crash in the near future. It was only ...

Don’t Speed in your Racing Car Son! 2

First I’d like to send out my condolences to the family of the 3 young men who died in a car crash in Muskoka last month. The three young men were Toronto residents Tyler Mulcahy, 20, the driver of the car, Kourosh Totonchian, 19, and Cory Mintz, 20. Mulcahy’s girlfriend, Nastasia Elzinga, 19, was the ...

Polygamist Soap Opera 2

If you’ve been watching the news over the last couple weeks, you are aware that 416 children were seized by police in Texas from a Polygamous sect of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Toronto Sun: LEAFS AND MURDER! 4

From: TorontoSunSucks.com “For years, I have passed by the newsstand of the reprehensible Toronto Sun newspaper and its absurd headlines. This sorry excuse for a newspaper, known by most as a “tabloid written at a Grade 5 level”, constantly contains fear mongering headlines in large dark print, such as “RECIPE FOR TERROR”, “DEADLY CHASE”, “2 ...

Winter Storm "Disaster"

On Sunday, a snow storm passed through Toronto where we saw somewhere around 30 or 40 centimetres of snow dropped on the city. Two days later, the media is labelling the storm as a ‘disaster’. I laugh when I hear somebody call a snowstorm a “disaster”. Toronto is internationally renowned for its calling in the ...

United Flight 232 Crash 2

Last night I watched a show on National Geographic that showed the crash landing of United Flight 232 on July 19th, 1989. This is an amazing story that I would like to share. At 3:16PM on that fateful day, a loud bang could be heard on United Flight 232 and the crew determined that the ...

FOX News Attacks Iran 2

MoveOn.Org posted a video on YouTube that compares FOX News’ campaign against Iraq before the invasion in 2003 to the current campaign against Iran in 2007. It’s a little too flattering to give FOX News full credit for the war in Iraq. FOX News is quite simply a propaganda medium for the GOP. Although I’m ...

10 years for B.J. 1

Did you hear about the poor kid in Georgia who spent 2 years in jail because he received Oral sex from a consenting 15-year old girl when he was 17 years old? Genarlow Wilson, an honour roll student, a football star, and homecoming king, was at a New Years Party when the incident happened. Can ...

News Helicopter Tragedy 2

As you have already probably heard, two news helicopters that were covering a car chase collided in mid-air, killing all 4 people on board. This is very sad tragedy and is disturbing that the crash happened while on live TV (Warning – graphic). At the moment the two helicopters collided, photojournalist Craig Smith can be ...
