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
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

PLEASE REMAIN CALM

Cheers to Jim Coyle in the Toronto Star for his editorial today on Canada's new liberalism. Rather than the usual "what harm will this bring our society?" handwringing we've been seeing in regards to gay marriage and the (quasi) decriminalization of pot, Coyle says it's just examples of Canada "growing up." It seems to me we've decided to take our cues from Europe, rather than America, and that can only be a good thing.

That's all I saw of the Star today, however, since the arts section apparently featured stories on the new Harry Potter book and the break-up of Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock (hey, who saw that coming?). While everyone buzzes over this weekend's release of Harry's fifth book, I've only just started the second, putting me far behind the pack. Worse yet, it seems a main character dies in this one and I just know some nitwit's going to reveal who before I get around to reading it for myself. I still grumble about the aunt who walked in the main credits of "Jagged Edge" on TV one Sunday and exclaimed, "Oh, this is a great movie!!! Can you believe ______ did it?" I glared at her and said, "You're kidding, right?" and her mouth dropped open in shock that I hadn't seen the movie already. I'd best not tell her that I'm reading the Harry Potter series.
