MOon walking on the face of the sun

I think that this is more than adequate cause for a higher minimum age for models, and perhaps a chaperone or two for the younger ones. This story makes me sick.

Hm. Svend Robinson's in trouble for planning to run civil disobedience courses for the impending Summit of the Fucking Americas. Apparently, the prime minister doesn't think it's appropriate for a parliamentarian -- even an NDP one -- to be acting like that. I have to agree with Svend on this one: IF YOU TURN QU�BEC CITY INTO AN ARMOURED FORTRESS AND FENCE THE CITIZENS OFF, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IS THE *ONLY* AVENUE LEFT!!!

This is a god *DAMNED* democratic state, and I can't see how our government can get away with acting in such a counter-democratic fashion. This is just another example of the Chretien government putting Canada more and more into the pocket or corporatist interests, and I think that the people of this nation have a duty to protest the Summit, be it through angry letters, articles, TV, or standing behin razorwire in Qu�bec city and shouting obscenities at passing delegates.

A few notes about where I live:

To nab a phrase of Taras Grescoe's, Qu�bec is Canada's smoking section. One day, 80% of the population will drop dead, simultaneously improving the air quality and freeing up millions of job opportunities.

Political correctness is generally viewed as an unwelcome US import. While parts of Canada are scrambling to conform to the PC norm as quickliy as possible, the same can *not* be said for Qu�bec. Generally speaking, the more you rag on someone's ethnicity, gender, or sexual preference, the higher the chance you will one day successfully win a publich office here in Qu�bec (See Bernard Landry).

In British Columbia, corruption brings down governments. In Qu�bec, corruption creates opportunities.

Montr�al is owned by the Hell's Angels. Qu�bec City is owned by the provincial government. On any given Sunday, I'll take the Angels.

The recent Canada/Brazil trade war (also known as teh Bombardier/Embraer affair) quite clearly illustrates that whereas the USA depends on bombing to develop their fiscal and foreign policy, Canada depends on Bombardier.

Qu�b�cois drink port, Ontarians drink Scotch. I'm a Scottish/French mutt. I'll drink both.

In winter, Montr�al goes down to -40C sometimes. In summer, it can go as high as 35C. I think it's made a fairly hale and hearty population.

This was all for Mystie's benefit.

Happy birthday, Sister. Welcome to 26.
