Only God knows why….traffic to this old post from 3yrs ago is way up this week…So let me help you out and repost it in a convenient location:
It was origonally called “Here Kitty-Kitty…Feeding Time on Parliament Hill”
 

 Now, what you DON”T see in this syrupy public relations maneuver…..errrrr….I mean….candid photo of serpentine Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper…is [...]

10 Things Your Dog Would Never Do… 
1.    Tell you your ass looks fat in those jeans
2.    Ask you to wear a dog collar and call him “master”
3.    Rent a video camera and ask you to tape yourself scratching his tummy
4.    Leave you for a younger, prettier owner
5.    Fart and blame it on your husband 

But [...]

 
 
There’s a million stories in the Naked City, and most of them were written with words.
That’s right, words – those tidy little packages of sound and air that give our lives context and meaning…
The hard and soft tones we rely on every day to share our dreams, order lunch and emotionally cripple our children.

Listen people,
I love you.
You know I do and maybe I don’t always show it….
I could bring you flowers occasionally….take you out to dinner….kiss you like I really, really mean it.
But, sometimes life and fleeting bouts of rational thought  get in the way…
Just remember I love you as much as one person could possibly [...]

Everyone’s talking about the jabs taken at the Canadian Military by Fox’s Red Eye “satirical news show”.
Go easy on them.
Republicans aren’t funny.
They have tried twice to recreate the Daily Show but failed because they don’t understand the nuances required to deliver good satire. The best Republican-leaning satire is The Colbert Report….brilliant…except [...]

First, thanks to Tom from Wisconsin for letting me post this picture of his adorable dog Buster with his Ducky.
Lacie5,  
 Whether you see it or not…whether you give a damn or not….your posts ARE most definitely mean-spirited and contain personal attacks.
 Every time you call someone IGNORANT, a HYPOCRITE, or STUPID…..either directly or indirectly, that is [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

This was written to post in response to a dust-up on Brad Pattison’s Forum (dog trainer)…But the topic got deleted before I could finish it. I’m putting it here because there are some reasonable points and some of those same folks also belong to this site.  This isn’t really about this one particular dog trainer, that [...]

 

 
 
 “Do not criticize your government when out of the country. Never cease to do so when at home.”

OK….I admit it.       

 

This is a slightly re-worked reprint of a column I wrote back in 2008.  
The original had one of my customary inflammatory titles, but I fear InformedVote.ca might not be ready to entertain [...]

I’ve been many things in this life, a bestselling author, a successful IT entrepreneur, a consultant to the government, an alcoholic, a junkie, a mother and a criminal….
(I said I’ve been many things, I didn’t say they were all good.)
But today, I sit at the lowest point in my life.
This isn’t something I normally [...]

Well, a funny thing happened a month or so, ago…
It seems that when I invoked the name of Canadian Dog Trainer Brad Pattison, I conjured up the manifest rage of his rabid detractors.
So, despite having other things to do…I am wrapping up editing on one book, writing on the other and doing a daily 10km [...]

 
We here at Canada Wry, wish to set the record straight.
While we APPLAUDE your passion and CELEBRATE your enthusiasm, there has been a flurry of recent activity of the email-variety….and it needs to be addressed.
No doubt, you have discovered that “comments” are turned off on this site. It’s a SPAM issue, nothing more.  Don’t be pissed. I’m clearly not silencing [...]

First, this pic was taken recently at an event in Toronto…The lovely lady in the photo is Illusionist Criss Angel…The the other gorgeous one on the right is one of my favorite people in the universe, Susan Boshcoff. I’m posting this photo without her permission. If she asks me to take it down, I will. [...]

 
It’s no secret that truth is in the eye of the beholder. We can be generous about it and say that we interpret information as it is reflected through our individual lens of social conditioning, beliefs, among other things…What we understand and how we understand it, is ultimately colored….dare I say…tainted by numerous factors.  We [...]

First, my heartfelt congratulations to Kathy Griffin for her Emmy win….from one red head to another….She has been an under-rated comedien for too long.
Now, there’s a dust-up because she said “Suck It Jesus”… in her thank you speech.  Here’s the deal people….you are NOT constitutionally protected against being offended or having your feelings hurt. Free speech [...]

  *sigh*…Why are Janet Jacksons nipples  still making headlines? If I knew I could get 3 years worth of international headlines by exposing one of mine…well….let’s just say, I’d be whipping them out every once in awhile. It’d be well worth the fine….for me anyway. There wouldn’t be enough therapy in the world for you however…
Ironically, [...]

This was a fun one. I started the original post in support of the Poppies for Medicine proposal put forth by a UK polling company who surveyed Canadians, who also thought that buying poppy crops from Afghan farmers to make legal medications was a better idea than the current poppy economy which sells them for [...]

Just kidding! That was Socrates…but, you can understand my confusion.
Bush has mused in Paul Draper’s new book ‘Dead Certain’ about his legacy and life after the White House. For my part, I’d like to say that any mortal man who has had the privelege of serving as President, but who, in light of what has [...]
