The same very very nice person who wrote

"I hope I can remember that I just happened to be born in a first world country. I could have been any of those runny-nosed, dirt-caked children. In a way, I feel guilty, but in a bigger way I feel really lucky."

when talking about Rwandan children has now gone to bat as a pinch hitter for Canadas "aboriginal" peoples.

I just have to say that since these schools were sanctioned by God Him self and blessed with the authority of Her Majesty the Queens government, thank God that we have such people still alive to write with so much care.

And I already fired off a letter to the Toronto Star expressing my thought that it appears all the concern they may have had for the lives of mere defenceless children may have been lost to the incessant never ending infantile waah baby crying of everybodys favorite step brother Quebec. Mixing your apples with your oranges merely makes me think 'ledger' is an actor from Hollywood recently deceased.

Canada: 1, Natives: .5.

I hate that when they act like we cant hear from the next room and we cant read.

I did this one myself

all border sides are of equal length i.e. 31 pixels e.g.

Although as a result of the contrast and imbalance

and unsymetric use of white space ...what should I call it?

A name if you will please ..did you say something about

bubbles and squares?

What does an Inuit community on Canada's
Arctic coastline have in common with a rural 

village in Africa's breadbasket?

-  -

Don't ask me!

I didnt know we were already adapting to climate change. 

I thought we were already living in harmony with the

(note: much quoted):

" ' " ' environment " ' " (who the heck started using THAT word?)

--  -

What do the Inuit have in common with the Arab nomads?

Both have survived since immemorial times desert like conditions.

If it were not for the Inuit, we would not know what we know today

about transfats and the links to heart disease and obesity.

Indeed, we have a collective debt as humanity to the Inuit.

And from the Arabs? Coffee. Pure coffee.

That was yesterdays date as I read it in an email. Such a nice date! And its the weekend still and the sun is shining (eat yo hat out Vancouver!) ...and its warm/hot out.

Its such a nice date...you should make a song out of it!

-  -

I have turned my face from the summer sun

The rays don't heal my bones

Ran out on the fortune of spring times rain

And transpirations of rebirth in earthly song

Merely a breeze which runs and cuts through my soul 

I want to rush to the emotion of my frozen tundra

That cold uncharted terrain of my soul

Well trod with design ambition and longing 

But no near remnants of foot print bare

And drink in that horizon; forever.

Kryptonite as a cure for that summer song

Which is full to the brim with longing, lust and

never ending youth filled idyllic bliss

Hide me from the out of doors

Weary tired eyes, no longer taken to whim filled glances

and flight of fancy

Of nymphs, cheer squads, sirens and parade participants to the

bedazzling spectacle of  precious fashion changes 

Tides changing tunes but leaving well alone

Leading to a desolated ruin

Of a mans soul, on a high craggy place

 Paging Quebec back to Canada...would you please return to the main staging area!!!!

  - - -

Is this like a virus? Quebec tv station wants to shut down its news stations and put reporters and journalists out of work and its staff of 250 and totally migrate to the Internet.

They have also come under regulation fire for failing to adhere to Canadian content regulations (for the 3rd year in a row again claiming its a technical glitch or "software" problem)

Havent we heard enough already with guys named Maxime ?

His interests want to buy the station and shut down the news.

The hearing marked the first time ever that a Quebec minister had appeared before the CRTC.

CRTC accuses French-language network of ignoring Canadian content laws

CRTC not buying into TQS cuts

The Language of Jesus on the Verge of Extinction.

The language we assume Jesus spoke is dying out in the last three Syrian villages where it is spoken. The Christians are migrating from these villages and Muslims are replacing them.
