But, according to the Globe & Mail1, we might be getting one sooner than you think. Opposition parties are […] →Read more
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that Canada has never had a non-white Prime Minister (and nor have we ever had a contender for PM who wasn’t white) and it prompted discussion, some of which can be summed up by “Who cares what race/gender politicians are?

Finally got around to watching 24 Redemption. My review goes something like this: what the hell? First, there didn’t actually appear to be a plot.

I promised that I’d snap a picture of my copy of the grant application that I just submitted. Because I knew you’d never believe me about its ridiculous size. That is me with just one copy of the grant application1. We had to submit the original, plus five copies. Ostensibly, that’s a 13 page proposal. […] →Read more
