April 21, 2011

As someone who works in business, what is my stick? Today my stick is a bank account. We need money in the bank. How much? At least with a stick, we can learn to apply context and use one that’s the right size.

My Theme For Canada’s 2011 Election: “Incompetence Over Evil!”

March 24, 2011

My question of competence stems from parties’ amazing inability to unseat a minority government that delivers the kinds of violations that this 5 year-old government has. It’s amazing. How can you screw that up?
