I hate the way they betray us in the media. You see a black family, it says 'they're looting'. You see a white family, it says they're 'looking for food'. And you know that it's been five days because most of the people are black.With the setup, the way America is set up to help, the poor, the black people, the less well off, as slow as possible.

President Bush wants us to believe that nobody could have anticipated the breach of levees protecting New Orleans from the waters of Lake Pontchartrain. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.

I don't even know where to begin. A major American city is under water. Thousands dead. Tens of thousands stranded. Hundreds of thousands homeless. The United States is facing calamity on an unfathomable scale -- the worst natural disaster in the country's history. And the U.S. government is almost entirely out of play.

I hate to say I told you so. I really do. In this instance, I would have much preferred to be wrong. The price of oil continues to skyrocket and gas prices are rising in step. The price of a barrel of crude sits at $65.45 USD and the average price at the pumps in Ontario is approximately 20 cents higher than at this time last summer. How long can this upard trend possibly last? "The general view

Do you know how to use an elevator? You may think you do. It's likely, however, that you're one of the depressingly large number of people who are clueless when it comes to efficient human-elevator interaction.

According to a recent poll conducted for The Globe/CTV, 55% of Canadians think the new marriage legislation should stand and do not want politicians to revisit the issue. It's an encouraging statistic that will no doubt cause Harper to reconsider his threat to repeal the legislation if elected Prime Minister. One should be careful, however, in reading the poll results as a ringing endorsement of

In a recent post, I wrote that marriage commissioners who refuse to marry gay and lesbian couples on moral or religious grounds should be forced to quit.

"Hands off that there definition, partner!"Alberta Premier and local gunslinger Ralph Klein fought the redefinition of marriage to the bitter end, going so far as to threaten to ruin civil marriage for everyone by having the province pull out of the marriage business altogether. He's since backed down and acknowledged that the new, inclusive definition of marriage is a reality. The fight for

A good portion of the countless hours I spend surfing the Internet is wasted away reading conservative message boards and blogs. What I've found is that, generally, though not always, those who hold traditional or conservative beliefs have a hard time expressing themselves. Their arguments are often vacuous and emotionally driven and full of hateful name-calling. Recently, Capitalist Pig vs.

Over the last two years I've developed a deep interest in all things political. I've also developed an acute fear for the future of Confederation, the threads of which are being continually strained by forces operating both within our borders and beyond. Aside from external pressure to pursue tighter North American integration, the greatest threat to Confederation comes from the recent surge of

This likely has something to do with my massive ego, but I constantly find myself in the middle of conversations with friends thinking how funny or insightful I am.

Monday was a big day for I, Doughbot. I was on the ground and in the field for a large rally held at Toronto's Queen's Park in 'defence' of 'traditional' marriage. Bill C-38, otherwise known as the Civil Marriage Act, has passed second ready and been sent to committee. After last week's budget scare, it appears that the legislation once again has a real chance of passing.This was my first protest

Five days ago I wrote briefly about Conservative MP Gurmant Grewal, who is alleging that the Liberals approached him prior to the budget vote and offered him perks in exchange for his support in the House. Grewal claimed that he had tape-recorded the conversation, however, I was skeptical since the tape had not been released to either the media or the RCMP at the time. It looks like I was way off

The final installment of Star Wars hit the megaplexes Thursday, but I've yet to decide whether it's deserving of my hard-earned coin. I despise George Lucas for shamelessly exploiting his own franchise with The Phantom Menace and then failing to recover with Attack of the Clones. Episode I was nothing more than a 133 minute long 'Wal-Mart safe' video game. After Jar Jar Binks, Lucas' next biggest

The Final CountYes: 153No:&nbsp 152 What now? Paul Martin has called for "a renewed effort to make this Parliament work for the people of Canada" to which Stephen Harper replied only that he will "provide Her Majesty with a loyal opposition and a potential replacement to the government". In a sign that calm may finally be settling over Parliament Hill, Harper has suggested that he will not

Chuck Cadman has voted with the Liberals. The budget passes and the government stands.

The federal budget vote is 20 minutes away. Coverage has already begun on CBC Newsworld (channel 26 in London). Remember, there will be two votes -- one on the general budget and one on the NDP amendment. The second vote is the one to watch.

If you've become bored with the manufactured drama and plastic characters of prime-time television then switch the dial over to the CBC and start following national politics. The most sensational and gripping news stories in Canada are currently set on Parliament Hill. As I previously mentioned, a high-profile Conservative MP crossed the floor to join the Liberal party yesterday, leaving behind a

Last week a bunch of my law school friends and I ventured out to Joe Kool's in London and, as is prone to happen on such occasions, the topic eventually turned to sexually transmitted diseases. I wasn't even drunk, but I blurted out (as I'm prone to do, usually in a bid for attention) that 70% of all Canadians have herpes (HSV). My friend, who incidentally has a Masters in biology, was

End-of-year marks were finally posted on Monday. My grades weren't as good as I was expecting. I didn't fail any courses (only two Fs were handed out this year) but my performance was below average. My good ol' reactive depression kicked in on cue and stuck around until I spoke to an upper-year who helped me put things into perspective. The good news is that, as long as I kick it into high gear

I still have so many questions. What exactly is "it" (QuickTime required) and why aren't we supposed to put it in our mouths? What's your yapper for if not to put things in.I had a play date with my baby niece this afternoon at the park. She's here right now, in fact, and she says hello. I'm always nervous that she'll get picked on by the older kids, but they are actually pretty accommodating. My

What a bender. I had an incredible weekend with two of my old friends from the U.S. Those yanks really know how to party. The highlight of the weekend had to be the after-hours party we made our way to Saturday night after the bars closed. I had never been to an after-hours party before and was unaware that people in Toronto were awake at 5:00 a.m. I was under the perhaps naive impression that

The line separating concerned citizens of the world from medicated conspiracy nuts is a fine one indeed. Still, we each have a duty to step up to that line. 'What Barry Says' (large file, QuickTime required) may have crossed it, but it is an effective starting point for those interested in discovering the common motivation behind the Iraq war, abandonment of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the

In fitting with my habit of jumping on every bandwagon I can, I've decided to start a blog. I've known about blogging since it's inception, but I never really felt like I had anything to write about. Then I started reading other people's blogs and I realized that it's probably enough to just write about my life and the things happening around me. After all, I am infinitely interesting, no?
