Stories that Caught this Scrawny Scribe's Dry Eyes

-Was that Justin "I'm my father's son" Trudeau winning in the Papineau riding? I'm not sure. I was too awe-struck by his royal and divine eyes. Ah, the nobility has returned to Canadian politics - for a tight group of course. I hope someone takes this guy aside and reminds him that he needs to abandon the "my father was so wise" bit and actually come up with ideas of his own. The Charter should not be the be all and end all of the Canadian identity.

-The conspiracy-theory-as-a-legitimate-intellectual-force phenomena is frightening enough as it is ("to debunk the accepted beliefs of history" as one put it). Environmentalists are also playing a game that they will eventually lose. They should stick to saving trees but drawing analogies to history should be avoided at all costs: Enter Elizabeth May. Can we all stop using Hitler, Nazi Germany and the Second World War as an anology please? It's clear we read history but very few of us possess the knowledge to be able to make proper analogies. If this gal wants to gain some seats spewing nonsense is not what will the the silent majority on board. Leave the hysterics to Suzuki.
