This blog entry brings up an interesting argument, the GOP doesn't have to move towards the centre, but make the centre move towards them. But I'm not sure what it would take to make voters more conservative, as we all know being liberal is a bad thing... but then again I've voted for the Canadian Liberals before, so I too must be a bad person...

What Do these Men Have In Common?

They were both Democratic Presidents When Canada has a Conservative Prime Minister.

• Joe Clark served as Canada's 16th Prime Minister from 1979-1980
• Stephen Harper is the current and 22nd Prime Minister
• Jimmy Carter was the 38th President of the USA, from 1977-1981
• Barack Obama will be the 44th President and is the President Elect

There has been exactly 6 prime ministers and 6 presidents since the last time this political anomaly occurred. Coincidence, I think Not :)

Yes He Could!!!

The BBB Says it all

Blue day for Americans

The Democrats will win the Presidency and control the House and the Senate.

Coffee Part III

Canadian Wins World Series!!

Isn't it exciting, a Canadian has won the World Series again. Matt Stairs, the only Canadian in the World Series was on the Philapelphia Phillies team. I wonder how many maple leafs were being waved in the stadium. My guess would be the number that come before zero.

Hot Coffee (Part 2)

After my discourse on hot coffee, one humorous application can be applied to my daily life. While driving later in the evening, I had to have a hot cup of Tim Horton's finest black coffee (to stay partially awake). Anyways I also found out that coffee not only warms you up inside but also works on the outside as well.
It happens to every hard core coffee drinker, it is inevitable and may even bring a tear to your eye as some of the previous valuable liquid is spilled. But not to worry I only cried for a short while, well maybe it was 2 hours :)

Hot Coffee

As I sit here eating my lunch, I am so glad for the warm privilege of being able to consume hot coffee. The heats not on in the building just yet, and its slightly, kind of, sort of cold. Its about 10 degrees so I can live with it. Its just uncomfortable being 10 degrees below room temperature. Anyways if it wasn't for a nice cup of Tim Horton's coffee, I probably would be shivering right now, or at the very least my tooth would be chattering, (which might be OK if I was talking, but since I'm typing and am not in the habit of talking to myself, that result appears unlikely)

According to Coffee Facts, the optimum temperature to brew coffee is 92-96 degrees Celsius. No wonder it warms a person up.

An I was hoping for a new team to cheer for...

Reports of second NHL team in Toronto 'nonsense'
NHL executive says idea has never been considered

If Toronto got a second NHL team their greatest ambition should be to at least tie eachother in the standings

To Drink or Not to Drink

The initial trial for an Ontario farmer attempting to sell raw milk to his shareholders is over, and the farmer awaits his sentencing. The Crown is asking for 53,000 in legal fees, and 5000 penalty. I'm not sure what the big issue is, if people want to drink milk straight from the cow let them, its a consumer choice.

Gun Owener Released after 3 months in prison

A 66-year-old Arizona man arrested at the border with an arsenal of loaded handguns in his vehicle was released from Sarnia jail Thursday after spending three months behind bars.

I'm a Bloc Supporter

There's a quiz on the Toronto Star website that has various questions, and depending how you answer them, it matchs up against one of the main political parties. The first party on the list is the Bloc followed by the Conservatives. If only I lived in Quebec and could vote for the party that I evidently agree with. But since I don't I'll have to settle on the Conservatives.

Dollar suffers record one-day drop

The dollar fell more than 3 cents yesterday. Its nice to know that out dollars is tied to the oil index's on the major stock exchanges.

Hockey Starts Tonight!!!

Its the start of a short season for the Maple Leafs. A lot of sports columists say its going to be a long season, but I don't think so. When your season is finished in early April how can it be long?

My prediction for tonight

Detroit- 5
Toronto-2

And Toronto will make Kaberle Capitin before the end of the season.

Winning isn't Important

The new Maple Leaf headcoach is a man after my own heart when he said winning isn't important. Afterall there's is always a chance for a tie.

Merry Christmas

There is now only 81 days until Christmas. Today in Sunday School, I lead a Christmas song, and even wore my Christmas/Winter tie.

As I look at the calender I am content and realize I have 80 days before I have to worry about going shopping :)

Blessed Assurance

When we serve Christ we can have the assurance that He is ours, and we can be His. I am so thankful that we can leave everything in God's hands and live in His blessed presence.

Polls Mean Nothing

Remember polls in Canada mean nothing. Popular vote in not relevant for determining how a party is polling. Canada operates on first past the post system were only the seats or riding won matter not necessarily the percentage of voters who supported a given party.

Harper's lead in the poll means very little when he can't hope of winning some of the key urban riding's in Ontario. As it is always the case a majority government will be won or lost in the Province of Ontario. Harper will not win any Toronto riding's which will offset his lead in the opinion polls. Sure he's polling way up in the rural Ontario riding's but that means little since we do not operate our Federal elections on an American model.

Remember Canada is a Federal Constitutional Democratic Monarchy or something like that and is vastly different from a Federalist Republic.

Well its not $700 billion at least, well not yet anyways...
