See it. Ten pairs of geeky 3D glasses out of eight.
Read moreLearning about Leigh
I have developed a good online friendship with Leigh Patrick Sullivan, aka The Moderate Separatist. We both share many similar ideals – libertarianism, conservatism, membership in the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta. I have a natural curiosity. I like to learn about people, so, yesterday, Leigh and I sat down over our keyboards and coffee,…

Next week, Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach, Canada’s least-popular Premier, leading the third-placed Alberta PCs, is set to announce a Cabinet shuffle. Yawn. Too little, too late. Yesterday’s floor-crossing of powerhouse former Cabinet Minister MLA Heather Forsyth, and rookie MLA Rob Anderson show how bad things are getting for Premier Ed. So bad, in fact, Ed…

In my last entry, I said, in reference to this film that it was “rrrrubbish,” and I stand by that assessment. Leaving aside the ridiculous assumption that the Mayans were capable of, and predicted a global cataclysm at the end of the Long Count on their calendar – which, in reality, they didn’t do; one…

I’m a dad. I’ve seen some pretty strange stuff with my daughter. I’ve changed more nuclear diapers than you can count. I’ve seen my wife breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is perfectly normal and natural. It’s what women do with new babies. It’s the biological reason of breasts in the first place. (Recreational uses aside, that is.) I…

http://www.calgaryherald.com/mobile/news/alberta/Alberta+shots+success+Liepert/2176446/story.html In the Calgary Herald article I’ve referenced above, Ron Liepert has called Alberta’s mass vaccination program a success. A program where people had to wait 3 or more hours. In the cold. In the rain. With small children. No restroom facilities. A program where healthy, low-risk adults were permitted to squeeze out those who…

Ron Liepert is a moron. He has been quoted on the radio saying is it more than likely that Alberta will run out of H1N1 vaccine. This is not a major surprise to me, and while it will fuel frustration and anger amongst people wishing to be vaccinated (it will also increase pressure on the…

What a mess. I’m talking about the “brainiac” (to quote one Calgarian) decision of Alberta Health Services to initially open up – get this – four “mass vaccination clinics” in Calgary; a city of one million people, to be serviced, initially, by a grand total of 80 vaccination stations (that’s 20 in each location). 20…

Well, it’s over. Thank God for that. Danielle Smith is the new Leader of the Wildrose Alliance. It’s no secret that I’m pleased by the result, and I believe that a new era of Alberta Politics is about to begin. Alberta is governed by dynastic regimes – the United Farmers of Alberta (1921-1935), then the…
