Link of the Day: The A.V. Club
Although I’ve mentioned it once or twice on this blog before, I’ve never linked directly to the A.V. Club for its own sake. And I really should, because this offshoot of the Onion is a great source of pop culture news and commentary, and one that I read far more frequently and thoroughly than most.

It’s being reported this afternoon that NDP MP Carol Hughes has become the fifth of the twelve NDP MPs who previously voted to scrap the long gun registry to reverse her decision and announce that she’ll vote against the bill next week. “The Conservatives have used this as a political tool for years,” Hughes noted […]

Link of the Day: Kids in the Hall Audio Archive
I guess “nostalgia” is the most appropriate word with which to describe a site like this one. For one thing, it’s an audio archive, and you sure don’t see a lot of those anymore. For another, it’s an audio archive based on a great show that went off the air fifteen years ago. Also, the […]

Of course I’m not planning on poisoning a bunch of the neighbourhood dogs
Yesterday was garbage day, and when Kate and I got back from the movies last night, the first thing we did was collect our empty bins and put them back in the garage. Empty, that is, except for our green bin, in which an anonymous neighbour and his or her dog had “dropped off a […]

Link of the Day: Truths and Myths
The reason I’m posting this is because I think it’s worth discussing. Yesterday, when I posted a link to the report issued by the RCMP on the Canadian Firearms Program and the long gun registry, I credited Truths and Myths for hosting it, along with the Toronto Star. If I’d only linked to the Star’s […]

Here is the RCMP’s official evaluation of the Canadian Firearms Program
Hey, you know the RCMP report on the long gun registry that everyone’s been talking about? The one that was completed in February, but which was only circulated among MPs in the House a couple of weeks ago? Well, for those of you want to read it, here it is, in PDF format, courtesy of […]
