Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics

The Prime Minister’s office has confirmed that on Sunday, Stephen Harper will be delivering his request for an election to the Governor General, election date Oct. 14th. Should be interesting. I have standing bets with people that the Tories don’t increase their seat count. I hope I’m right.

Toronto readers (or non-Toronto readers familiar with Toronto) could, if they were so inclined, nominate me for Best Blog in the NOW Best Of Toronto Awards. I doubt I have a shot, but what the hell, I am not above request-whoring.

When Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan were on MSNBC, they were talking up Sarah Palin like she was the best thing since the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. However, when they’re off the air and don’t know they’re being taped…?

It’s been way too long since I did a reader-submitted anything, and they’re fun. Submit your ideas to me in email (it’s there on the sidebar, folks). If you have a specific image(s) for the […]

WAIT WHAT pt. 3

Posted by MGK Published in Politics, WTF

It’s Only A Matter Of Will, Part Two: Concrete

Posted by MGK Published in David Suzuki Says You're Bad

I know what you’re saying. “Wait, concrete? Like, in buildings? Not the rocky guy in the comcs, right?” And yes, I’m talking about concrete.
