Sometimes debates still matter
This is one such time. The emasculation of a puffed-up little prat, from an unlikely source.
This disappearing newspaper stuff
It’s affecting me more than I thought it would. I predicted it, I wrote about it, I analyzed it. But it has hit me – that this big, bad thing is happening, and no one seems to give a damn.
(Oh, and if you want to post a comment about how Facebook is going to fill the void, and break the next Watergate, don’t bother. Go back to watching your panda bear videos and leave me to my misery.)
This is where I was a week ago today
My take after week one of R. v. Ghomeshi, or any trial like this one
Only a boxer can agree to be hit. #Ghomeshi

Becuz it’s a counrty wirth sayving
ISIS: the right decision, finally
Quote, from the (simply amazing) Bob Fife:
Canada is also expected to participate in a proposed NATO-led training mission that will set up shop in military camps in Jordan, Turkey and possibly Lebanon.
One proposal was for Canada to provide an army battalion.
“How they structure that battalion will determine the size. It could be anywhere between 500 to 1,000, but it is a pretty wide window,” a military source said.”
Some of us have been saying for a couple years, now, that pulling out of the multi-nation coalition fighting ISIS was wrong, wrong, wrong. Glad to see that the Trudeau government now agrees with that, and is enhancing our role there.

The media are not the enemy
…but they’re not your friend, either, alleged Jian Ghomeshi victims. Occasionally giving in to chase producers is no sin. But when a criminal probe is underway, or about to be? Zip your lip, and resist every microphone pointed in your direction. At that point, speaking up only helps out the guy you say is a bad guy.
BINGO https://t.co/HxqC00thYA
