What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

PAUL MARTIN TURNS TO THE DARK SIDE

Today's ridiculous Toronto Sun headline (as opposed to any other day's ridiculous Toronto Sun headline) concerned the Canadian government's outrage at the World Health Organization for costing them tourist money. It read "SARS WAR" (oh, like the movie! Only the WHO is like the Empire? And the government is like the Rebel Alliance? That's, like, so clever!). OK, let's all have a big sigh on three. 1...2...3.

Meanwhile, what's left unreported is an actual Star Wars problem on the horizon: hoping to restore Canada's bootlickin' good reputation with our Elephant to the south, Paul Martin plans to reverse our country's longtime opposition to that ludicrous Missle Defense Shield program Ronald Reagan left lying around (the pros and cons of which are neatly outlined by Policy.ca).

Despite the increasing evidence that attacks on North America will come from chemical weapons, possible viral attacks or, oh I don't know, commandeered airplanes, the Bush government still believes that we need to spend billions upon billions of dollars on laser beams that will shoot down incoming nuclear missiles. This technology still hasn't been proven but Paul Martin, our designated next Prime Minister, is ready to sign on. Isn't this the part of the movie where Yoda shows up and gives him a good talking-to?
