” Who will own what we think now? ”

Who hasn’t heard of the ongoing Canwest financial woes? Question is now, who is going to own ( and control) what the sheeple read, believe and think on any given day across Canada?  One of the finest blogs out there, The Galloping Beaver, takes a look at where this company is headed, in todays post: Canwest, Natty [...]

Bits and Bites, Wednesday October 7th, 2009

Good morning, and a lovely one at that. The stars were all twinkling brightly during my early run today, and the air was crispy cool. This has been the perfect fall so far, at least to me. What more could you ask for than crispy leaves, warm cider and roasted chestnuts and the smell of [...]

Premiers Ideas to assist the forestry industry nothing but thin air and far too late to save anyone.

“  The B.C. government will do more to expand markets and opportunities for local wood products globally and within the province in an effort to boost the forest industry, Premier Gordon Campbell said Wednesday.

The first Bits and Bites of 2009

The first Bits and Bites of 2009 and so much to talk about, it was a little hard to decide where to begin. Without delay, lets start with…
James Hillier, one of the young men who was banned from skiing for life on Grouse mountain after purposely skiing out of bounds and triggering a rescue effort [...]

Bits and Bites – Wednesday December 17th – 7 days to go!

 Call me Grinch, call me whatever, but let’s get this weather over with, because I’m really not enjoying this nonsense that passes for massive snowfall in the lower mainland. Or the cold. Parts of me ( see recent post regarding the effects of cold weather on women) are so traumatized from the arctic wind that they [...]

Time for the RCMP to do the right thing: Pull tasers out of service pending further independent testing.

Forgive me, but I’m opening the door to ‘taser talk’ again. ( The last time I did this it initiated an ongoing debate in the comments section that lasted for several months.) Last night I watched an excellent documentary on The National, regarding tasers. More specifically, the older x26 model manufactured prior to 2005, of which [...]

It’s finally Friday…

It’s official.
I’m DONE with the online AND  paper versions of the Vancouver Sun and The Province.
Well, I never really read the Province because it reads like the Enquirer to me, but the Sun had me for Thursdays edition,as well as the weekend one. The online versions provided me with updated local news bits to blog about. However, the [...]

Bits and Bites, Wednesday November 26th

I’m still alive.
Ok, other than looking like I have an orange inside my right cheek, and the vivid technicolour bruises that are in a lovely range of blue and purple, It’s all good. I must say, If you ever need this type of work done, Dr. Gerald Wittenberg is the man to go to.The worst thing [...]

The sun is shining,the coffee is hot and Dave Gerry IS back!

I have wonderful news for you.
Fantastic, AMAZING news -at least for Dave Gerry fans!
But first, let me chat a little or you won’t even read the rest after I tell you what Dave is up to. 
Great morning today, sun is out, and I went for a jog to work off the massive burger and half jug [...]

A case of the pot calling the kettle black?

This is the way I operate in life. I may not like what you say, or think or write, or even perhaps how you say something- your tone. But I will defend your right to speak it. Likewise, I know I can offend people with my straightforward manner of writing at times, however I find that [...]
