race master

surviving a strenuous and elaborate mud obstacle course, only one slumps a little less than the rest. introducing the newly minted prime minister of canada, mr. stephen harper. canada's answer to george w bush. the future president of the united states of north america. he's dressed like the 90's and he will take us back there through his mystifying political tempus machina. forecast calls for repeat performances in ottawa, a weaker dollar, debates on abortion, homosexuality, and ongoing protests about the environment. and perhaps, yet another money scandal. yet, through it all, we may still see the day when america takes over.

monsters

repent for election day is really fcuking nigh. the doomsday clock is winding up for the last few seconds and all the king's horses and all the queen's men, are gearing up for another great fall. canada gets down and dirty, raking muck and vile implications without any sexiness or death threats. this is the dullest media segment available on tv.
alright fine. sponsorship was a betrayal, but only a scandal in a canadian environment. how exactly did you think business was handled? now an eyefull at our good neighbours for a fine example of what a true scandal consists of. first you muscle the money from a minority group whose rights you've trampled for as long as you've known them, then you secretly give money to both sides on the gambling issue just because you're an asshole. now that's muck work raking! (for the real story go here)
what was the sponsorship scandal exactly? extra money on the side for those who half-assedly did their job of promoting canadian unity in quebec. isn't that what what usually happens in business? greedy executives producing sloppy work and cashing in on expense accounts and other side benefits?
i laugh in the face of sponsorship and spit on my grave. who do you spit on?
