In which Daughter and Father discuss latest Internet drinking game, using the Internet
I forget what the game is called, but it was all the rage on Facebook a couple weeks ago. Daughter was asked about it. The exchange:
Ignatieff on Canada: “the United States is a more democratic society”
Yes, he really said that, and in an article slated to be published during the Liberal Party’s convention.
That’s a quote: “The United States is a more democratic society.”
Wow. Remembers everything, learns nothing.
This post tells you how much Canadians are thinking about politics at this precise moment

It’s not just a honeymoon: time to panic, CPC and NDP
From Ipsos, a real polling firm. Click on the graphic for the story:
What’s it mean? It means that Harper and Mulcair can be forgiven for starting to worry. You can deride him as the Shiny Pony all you want, boys, but it’s now evident that Trudeau is the real deal. As things stand now, he’s going to win – big.
Commenters can (and will) offer their perspectives below. In my Sunday column, I opine that Harper can still win – thanks to progressive vote-splitting, thanks to the surplus, thanks to those 30 new Commons seats in Tory-blue suburbia – but polls like this one suggest that he has a big problem. Mulcair, too.
What thinkest thou, O wk.com readers? Me? Something big and historic is happening in Canadian politics, I reckon.

Against Me! do Janie Jones! SFH do in Rob Ford!
SFH played it at Strummerfest in K-W at Christmas, but these guys do it better. And remember! We’ll be releasing ‘Mayor On Crack’ at the Bovine Sex Club at the end of April, and it’s going to be a Janie Jones-style madhouse! See release below!

Hot off the presses! Here’s a scoop for the Reddit AMA session, starting in minutes!
Pussy Riot went to Sochi to film a video. This is how Putin responded.
Ask me anything? Really?
Anyone who works with me at Daisy will tell you, if I get asked to do something, I quickly agree, forget about it, and then wonder why I agreed in the first place.
Anyway, this Reddit “Ask Me Anything” thing is today at 2, and I forgot that I agreed to do it pretty soon after I agreed to do it. I predict a total fiasco, as a result.
Link here. If you are irritating, I will find you and kill you.
Guaranteed: some asshole is going to comment that hockey is more important
Pussy Riot attacked by fascist Russian police using whips
This happened this morning in Sochi. This – along with shit like this, carried out by the morons at the IOC – is why I wrote, and still feel, it was wrong for us to participate in Putin’s Hate Olympics. We will end up regretting doing so.
