A gift from Canada... to Barack Obama
This is the cutest Labradoodle I have ever seen. If I didn’t live in an apartment I would seriously consider getting one of these little guys!
This photo released by the Winnipeg Humane Society, shows one of the dogs being offered to US President Barack Obama. The Canadian shelter is hoping a rescued Labradoodle puppy will make an ideal gift from Canada’s government for US President...
Canada needs a green economic stimulus plan
In the Chinese language, the symbol for crisis includes both danger and opportunity.
That same approach should guide Canada in responding to the current economic crisis. The upcoming federal stimulus package – the largest injection of public funds into the economy in decades – is an unparalleled opportunity to kick-start the economy of today, while laying the foundation for Canada to succeed in...
Jose Calderon...... Numero Ocho!
Last nights win for the Raptors could not have come any sooner. My Raps have been struggling mightly over the past month. They were on a 7 game losing streak. Two major reasons for this was the fact that Jose Calderon and Jermaine O’Neal were out of the line up for most of those games.
The biggest reason was the lack of effort on defence. Jose isn’t known for his defence, however,...
Why are Country Singers so Hot?
I think there is an unwritten law of Country music… if you are female and want to be a Country Singer, you must be drop dead gorgeous.
I was watching CMT today (I know, I was really bored) and EVERY female singer was WAY above average in the good looking category. I know it’s TV and all that cosmetic stuff… but still. If you compare the average female Country singer to the...
ING Direct Canada.... is GREAT!

However, it is actually entertaining!
I just learned how to say “save your money” in Dutch! I also learned that Alexander Graham Bell built the telephone in Brantford, Ontario (already knew this). I was also given a brain teaser….(how many words rhym with Orange? …again I know there are no words...
...... that's what you call "Old School".
This was a comment made by Barack Obama at the Youth Ball tonight. He had just finished his customary dance with the First Lady to the music of Kanye (slow dancing was the dance of choice).
He was on his way out, but then walked over to the microphone and said… “Thank you to everyone for being here tonight, that is what you call Old School”. Then walked off the stage. hahaha...
History in the making... The Obama Era

First, there was Malcom X (born May 19, 1925) and then there was Martin Luther King, Jr. (born Jan. 15, 1929) and now there is Barack Obama (born Aug. 4, 1961).
The history goes as far back as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Malcom X and Martin Luther King, Jr. took from Gandhi as Obama has taken from Malcom X and Martin Luther King, Jr. They...
Kick Your Feet Up
There are many Winter days where I feel like just kicking my feet up in a nice sunny place.

Best vacation I ever had!
WatchLast year, this is what Jer, Josh and I did on Super Bowl Sunday. It was a blast. I am proposing we do it again this year!
We could bring a few shovels, walk over to the basketball courts near Josh’s house and have a real hardcore game! Zamboni (shovel) intermissions and all.
I’ll supply the sweet highlight goals. Jer, you bring the fashionable hockey attire… and Josh, you can...
