Kill Whitey
Iām always surprised, maybe I shouldnāt be, when the āalt-rightā cries about an assault on white identity, how so many, even liberals, donāt understand that they are correct. The desire many of us have to one day live in a post-racial society, or at least a world with far less racism, would require the deconstruction of the white identity, a human invention designed to elevate some and denigrateā¦

Tourists and Travellers
I served a Frenchman the other day who boasted of having had ceviche in five different countries while he insisted on being served French-style and ate his Latin American cuisine with chop sticks. He wasnāt just peculiar, he was arrogant about it; as if he was the only one at the table, or in the restaurant, who knew how to do things properly. Sometimes traveling the world introduces you toā¦

The Rule of Law
The Rule ofĀ Law
Thereās a weird inversion between the two groups of protestors around Toronto these days. Thereās Black Lives Matter activists challenging law enforcementās practices of carding, raiding the homes of, arresting, and even killing people of colour without sufficient cause or evidence. And then, not even a fifteen minute walk across town, there are protestors saying āWe Believe Survivorsā becauseā¦

"All Lives Matter"
āAll Lives Matterā
āAll lives matterā is a curious phrase; hardly ever uttered in the English language until relatively recently, and possibly unique in that it represents a benevolent and egalitarian truth, agreeable to all the best of us, but only ever spoken aloud by irredeemable assholes. Ā Ā

Notes on Stupidity
Human beings aren't built for uncertainty.
From The Atlantic, I stumbled upon a great definition of science: āArguably, science is the gradual process by which the cognitive parts of our brains discover the profound inaccuracies in our deeper, evolutionarily built-in models of the world.ā Of course, this hardly capture the totality of what science is, the methods of accumulating, testing, verifying, and reproducing results; but it doesā¦

Conservative Criticism of Foreign Policy Uninformed by News of Last Year's Election
Conservative Criticism of Foreign Policy Uninformed by News of Last YearāsĀ Election
The Conservative Party of Canada, accustomed to being hated by many, if not most Canadians, is still reeling from the discovery that this widespread hatred can occasionally translate into electoral defeat, even in a democracy as flawed as ours.Ā Now, they are turning news that Canada will be excluded from a meeting of defense ministers from nations fighting ISIS into fodder for criticism, ratherā¦

This Week in American MilitaryĀ Bloopers
Some recent headlines: Somebody broke their compass, and it led to the American news media declaring war on Iran. Last October, the US destroyed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing 42 people. Ā Ā

Daily Affirmation
I've been thinking of getting into the Self Help business...
In Ancient Greece, the birthplace of that most beautiful of institutions we call Democracy, a tradition existed where each town would decide, by vote, who among them was the ugliest. The lucky nominee would be fed fine food on the public dime and treated very well, for awhile, until they were finished eating and driven out of town with rocks, insults, sometimes to they pyre, sometimes overā¦

A Modest Proposal to Solve the Refugee Crisis in Europe
A Modest Proposal to Solve the Refugee Crisis inĀ Europe
Give the refugees, as a token of compensation for the atrocities they have lived through and escaped, a piece of someone elseās land. Arm them with the latest in high tech military murder gadgetry until they are, by several orders of magnitude, the most powerful nation in the region. Stand idly by while they brutalize the people who they have displaced for decades, reducing some to desperate actsā¦

Better Diction is Not "Political Correctness"
Better Diction is Not āPolitical Correctnessā
There are very few occasions, at least amongst English speakers, when one misspeaks, using a series of words which convey a meaning contrary to that which they intend, where the speaker can plead that the audience is just being too sensitive. Usually if someone says one thing but means another, they apologize or correct themselves for clarity, not complain about Political Correctness and the lossā¦

On Cock Sucking
How is it that the term ācocksuckerā has become an insult instead of a description, or even a compliment? How could anybody whoās ever had their cock sucked think this way? Do you have a cock? Ever been in love? Wouldnāt you want the person you love to be a cocksucker? If you have a cock, and you like putting it in mouths, why would you allude to that experience as a way to express your dislikeā¦

The Presidency of Hilary Clinton: A Cautionary Tale
The looming election of Hillary Clinton as the first woman president of the United States will be the opening of the final act in a revenge tale spanning multiple decades that saw her patiently biding her time before she could assume the office and take on the executive powers established by George W. Bush, and accelerated by Barack Obama, whereby the president could assassinate anyone in theā¦

Breaking News The Colombian government is considering whether or not they should stop giving poor people cancer in order to make it more difficult for rich people to party all night.
"Actual" Quote
āI am disgusted to see rioting as a form of political expression. Who do these people think they are, forcing me to confront my own privilege? Why canāt they voice their concerns through actions deemed lawful by a system that has consistently sought to undermine their lives and value as human beings?ā

Aggravating Agitprop by the Grief-StrickenĀ Aggrieved
Pushing Bill C-51 through Parliament, the government has chosen to ignore the nationās lawyers, judges, law professors, former prime ministers, and the newest polls. In the hearing for the bill, our elected representatives will not hear from privacy experts, nor from the Privacy Commissioner who Harper himself appointed recently. Instead, we get an emotional appeal from the sister of a soldierā¦

Editorial
This is not the first time that Iāve been outraged by the senseless death of innocent people at the hands of deranged savages.Ā Far from it.Ā Whenever there has a been a mass shooting at a school, or a terrorist attack in another city, I have sat by my television and watched the wall-to-wall coverage of slowly emerging facts, I have sat at my browser hitting refresh as investigationsā¦
