Been watching the olympics today, and I'm finding that the best way to watch is on the internet. CBC has live feeds of all different events on about 10 channels simultaneously. And the best thing about it is that there's no bullshit talking going at all. It's the way sports are meant to be watched; without commentators ( Read more... )

Was watching the opening ceremonies tonight. I can easily say that they were the best I've ever seen. Just WOW at the first hour of music, dance, and fireworks. Utterly amazing stuff ( Read more... )

Everybody in my province is getting a $100 "climate action dividend" to offset a new 2 cent/Litre tax on gas that goes into effect next month. I just cashed mine in today, and I just saw a bit on the news that has me slackjawed ( Read more... )
