Guess what, fellow hippies? The ridiculously environmentally friendly shoes I ordered finally came in the mail yesterday! “The sole of the shoe is biodegradable!” the company’s website boasts. “The midsole is made of EVA with Eco-Pure and the outsole is made of recycled rubber and natural rubber with Eco-Pure added. The Eco-Pure additive makes the […]

The day I wrote this about the G20 was the single busiest day in my humble little blog’s history. More people visited my site that day than on any previous day, and the average day since has put the typical day before that post to shame. Since then, there have been two other days that […]

Mayoral candidate Rob Ford must really want to make sure we all know how much he supports the police. It was recently reported in Eye Weekly that among other things, he praised the service for their handling of the G20. That’s good, but then he went on to say that there shouldn’t be an inquiry, […]

Wow, you guys! Within a few short hours of posting the first in what I figure will be a series of weekly updates on my AIDS Walk for Life fundraising progress, I received a very generous donation from an anonymous sponsor! I actually know who he is, and he’s awesome, but I’m going to go […]

After a thankfully brief hiatus, Nem-One posted some new content on his blog today. In fact, the new content seems to be the only content available at the moment. But I’m sure there’s much more to come. Check out the video for “If U Can,” a new Nem-One production featuring Knucks the Barbarian. The video […]

Here’s a tally of the arrests made during the G20, brought to you by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. They’re one of the leading bodies calling for an inquiry, and this post follows another in which they throw their support behind the Toronto Police Services Board and its upcoming civilian review. Thanks to Antonia Zerbisias […]

I had lunch on a patio yesterday next to three of the most timid, prejudicial morons you’d ever want to meet. You know the kind of person who’s always got a mental inventory at the ready full of all the things they hate about each individual group of people who are different from them? And […]

“There’s plenty of room inside the train!” the woman standing next to me on the platform shouted. “Why don’t you all move in and let a few more people on?” Have you guessed why they didn’t move in? I’ll give you a hint: when a beligerent woman tells an already crowded group of people to […]

Hey, remember that time a couple of months ago when I encouraged you to take part in an online consultation that was vital to the future of an excellent radio station called BBC 6 Music? Well, if you did, then you can take a little credit for the following great news, which comes straight from […]
