some of the dumber things that i came acroos today

1) An Olympic Logo on our 1$ coin
2) it will cost 10 million to mail out $100 checks to people for their "Environmental rebate"
3) the conversation i had with Human resources... all of it.


perhaps we should get serious about this whole environment thing. If we were to yank the maple leaf out of the Canadian Flag then we could use that spot as valuable advertising. Pool that money and form a task force to study issues related to the environment and then write long reports and mail them to every citizen of this fine country as a sure way to start a dialogue on this most important issue. We could appoint a trustworthy former prime minister, and myself, as the heads of this ever so smart operation.

Hell what does Canada mean anyway? I bet you could get a good buck changing the name of our nation... could be great business for the atlas and globe industry. Hell if we can sell our rivers and resources to the highest bidder why not go the whole hog?

what would be the most irritating name for our new and modern nation?

Who would have suspected

I like the comment that starts "I am sure that we will all sleep better knowing inspector harper is on the case. We should all be thankful that we have such a staunch supporter of the environment serving us."

They say you can see the Tar sands from space.... a massive patch of anti-life. lots of money however. Hopefully that money won't be wasted he sighs to himself drawing another ale. Imagine being a person who was raised in Alberta, and loved it and bought some property in northern Alberta to enjoy the tranquil nature. and then the Oil companies come in and irreversibly destroy everything. That would kill me... i am definitely a prime candidate for that form of hermit behavior. I think i remember reading a story about some guy charged with blowing up some oil company equipment.

So my dreams are answered and i get my "dream orchard" and one day all the trees die due to some clear reason that can't be proven in court... and you just have to eat that shit sandwich because the other answer would inconvenience the nameless shareholders like my own convoluted RRSP plan that was forced upon me after an half hour session titled "investor profile".

oh did i tell you about the neighbour... 3 strikes he is out.

1) he topped the trees
2) his car blew up in the backyard filling the 'hood with noxious smoke
3) he just got a lunatic attack dog that he can't control

another dumb person who makes bad decisions that degrade the quality of life for those around him.
