For what it is worth
I decided this morning that I would try to extend my coverage of my commentary on air travel (and who knows maybe pick up a reader or two) and fired off this email to my MP, my MLA, the Prime Minister, several cabinet ministers, Senator Adams, and the leaders of the Liberal and NDP parties.…

Roll up this rim, and the earth wins
It is time for one of Canada's most well known promotions, Tim Horton's R-r-r-roll up the R-r-r-rim to win. So I thought it was an opportune time to point you towards the coffee you should be drinking, iconic Canadian Businesses and contests aside. Let's talk about what we'd like to do today while we drink…

Taking care of business
I guess it has been a good week for ranting against the high cost of air travel here. This little news item caught my attention today. Now I'm not sure if it is because I'm getting older but I sure am getting a lot more cynical about things these days. In a nutshell, one of…

Damned Psychometrics
It would appear that Meandering Michael is not going on to the next round in the Greatest Job in the World competition. Pity, he deserved it and had a brilliant campaign. Perhaps too brilliant.

E I E.I.A.

Tired of the amount of weight I'm carrying around I've recently started back in an exercise regimen. Knowing that 1) I'm older now, and…

I am very glad I did, for I discovered the wonderful story telling of Gregory Turnbull's Verbal Medicine. The man…

Comments
Okay, I've been very bad when it comes to responding to comments lately. So that has been corrected, at least as far back as Valentines day. I figure if you left a comment that far back that I didn't respond to, well you've probably given up on me. I've also noted a small increase in…

So what does that cost exactly?
After my last post on air transportation costs (and to be clear I think the high cost of air travel up here is a social justice issue, and it is high time the different levels of government, and others start thinking of it as such) I got to thinking about how best to put travel…

Fly away home
If I were to book a flight from here to Ottawa in about two weeks time, staying south for a month, airfare would cost me between $3642.00 and $5298.00 plus additional taxes and fees. In practical terms this means that for the four of us to go visit my family in Manitoba it would cost…
