    Turning off anonymous doesn't work. The spam comes as registered users as well.

    I think it always goes on the latest post though. Maybe you could make a decoy spam collector post each time you make a real post.

    Casa L-Sock?

    Red-girl?

    Or are you doing the seperate-yet-equal thing?

    Whichever, I'm giddy with glee, pour les deux!

    Merci, Andy!

    We generally call our home by a hyphenated last name, but I gotta say, L-Sock sounds pretty cool. I'm liking it.

    I dunno, Red-girl seems so appropriate for some reason. ;)

    Especially because Red is the colour of Liberals up here... Funny our socialists (NDP) took orange.

    Yeah, pink would have been more appropriate.

    What COULD that be in that picture?

    I know what this is ... this is an espresso machine.

    No, no, wait. It's a a snow cone maker.

    G, sometimes you confuse the hell outta me. :)

    Ray?

    As if I wasn't confused enough by Texas...

    Sure. Say Ray with a fake Texas accent, and it comes out "Rye". At least it does on Dallas.

sharia

This morning I see that Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, is banning the Muslim religious court known as sharia . This ends months of debate about whether sharia would be legal and binding in Ontario. I'm quoting at length from the story in today's Toronto Star because many US readers are likely not up on this. In a surprise announcement that caught both supporters and opponents of sharia law off guard, Premier Dalton McGuinty says he will move quickly to ban all religious arbitration in the province. McGuinty made the announcement in a telephone interview with The Canadian Press yesterday after months of debate and controversy surrounding use of Islamic sharia law in family arbitration. "I've come to the conclusion that the debate has gone on long enough," the premier told the news agency. "There will be no sharia law in Ontario. There will be no religious arbitration in Ontario. There will be one law for all Ontarians." The announcement prompted t...

can of worms

I'm opening a sticky subject here, my need to understand causing me to throw caution to the wind. It's about Alberta. Alberta vs. the rest of the Canada. The Globe And Mail runs something about Alberta's gripes every day, and I try to follow along. If it weren't for wmtc's resident Albertan , and the ensuing arguments in comments, I would've had no warning. It's not something Americans know about. As is, observing for more than a year, I have only the smallest of clues. Here's what I know. Please pardon my ignorance and oversimplification, but I have to start somewhere. The province of Alberta is rich, because it has oil. The province of Alberta is conservative, relative to the rest of Canada. Hmm. Funny how those two go together. Because of its great oil wealth, Alberta revenue helps fund services in the rest of Canada. (These are transfer payments?) Apparently many Albertans resent this. They want to keep Alberta's money in Alberta. They don't...

low confidence

I'm excited about today's no-confidence vote . Only three months after moving here, we'll get to see a government fall, a campaign, and an election, in a system very different from what we're accustomed to. Even the expression "the government will fall" strikes us as oddly dramatic and revolutionary. My sense of current Canadian politics, for what it's worth, tells me that very little will change from the upcoming election. I'd be surprised if the Liberals didn't win. So it's kind of cool to see this happening without a lot at stake. On a semi-tangential note, have I mentioned I'm completely down with "Corner Gas"? Excellent show; I love the deadpan humour. (Great website, too; check it out .) So was that really Finance Minister Ralph Goodale ragging on Brent Butt's camera last Saturday night?
