Heyo, I like The Smiths. I especially like how their song, Panic, articulates how I feel on the streets of St. Lawrence Market and the side-streets just north of College and Yonge. I’ll sooner hang the IT guy who was meant to get me a proper computer that didn’t insist on publishing blog posts before […]
And then there’s that Bad Black White Man, John Ware
February 13, 2012
I’m sorry, that big bad what? That Matoxy Sex Apee Quin. That’s what the Blackfoot First Nations people in Alberta reportedly called him, it means bad-ass black white man, naturally. He’s a cowboy! He’s the former slave cowboy responsible for driving cattle all the way up from Texas to Alberta 130 years ago making him the […]
“Can you even imagine?”: Freedom to Read Week February 26-March 3, 2012
February 4, 2012
Censorship, it’s worrying. Freedom to read can never be taken for granted. Even in Canada, a free country by world standards, books and magazines are banned at the border. Books are removed from the shelves in Canadian libraries, schools and bookstores every day. Free speech on the Internet is under attack [like that Wikipedia blackout!]. […]
Toronto, Can I Help?
August 23, 2011
You seem confused about public transit etiquette. You probably didn’t know over 2 million of us take the TTC every day. 2,000,000! To give you an idea, if North American public transit systems qualified for the Olympics, we’d win bronze in rat race. New York leaves with gold and Mexico City comes in second with quality silver. Torontonians, let’s put a capital ‘T’ in sportsmanship. We’re the biggest city here, capital of Ontario and […]
Bless You, Dear Jack Layton 1950 – 2011. Love, Canada.
August 22, 2011
Dear Jack, You missed Autumn’s quick visit this afternoon. She was in a hurry. Summer needed directions and to borrow a travelling trunk. I hadn’t heard you leave so early this morning. But you already know I’m a sound sleeper. Thank you for your note. “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better […]
Dear: Sharon, How’s this for a Rejection Letter?

A- for effort [company name] with what looks like a first draft typed up in a rush. Dear: Applicant We appreciate you applying for the [kind of interesting] position with [company name]. We had a number of qualified applicants and therefore had a difficult decision to make. At this time, we will not be offering you […]
Have You Read Your High School Yearbook Lately?
August 14, 2011
Yeah, you’re going to cringe but it’s worth every heart palpitation. It’s been so long, I forgot some people were really nice to me! Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised too, it’ll make your day. So put the kettle on and take a stroll down that painfully clichéd memory lane. I made myself a stiff drink but that’s just because […]
“Pssst” in the Mall?
August 14, 2011
Seriously guys, it doesn’t work. It’s a disqualifier if anything because you’re pssst-ing us off. You know what, I think you’ve confused the ‘pssst’ pick up with a dog whistle! You haven’t noticed women haven’t come running to fetch your number? Expecting us to roll over and play out your fantasy right there in the food court is unrealistic. Try chivalry, it […]
