Global warming revealed its benevolent side yesterday as Toronto recorded the hottest Thanksgiving Day ever. Screw you, polar bears and drought-ravaged farmers—we got patio weather in October!
Dalton McGuinty said that he wasn't taking the election for granted in spite of polls showing the Liberals headed for another majority government. "There's lots of time left for voters to make up their mind," said McGuinty as he passed around party hats and pieces of a giant "Congratulations Dalton" cheesecake.
The RCMP say that gang members in British Columbia are favouring the Blackberry over other communications devices because of security features which make it difficult for police to intercept email messages. The revelation may explain RIM's new marketing campaign which features the slogan "Yo, Pimp Out Your Crackberry" and new accessories like a Kevlar case and diamond-encrusted Bluetooth headset.
A study has found that telephone counseling can decrease the probability of cardiovascular disease. Participants were able to reduce their risk of heart problems by receiving a regular health "report card" which they then discussed over the phone with a lifestyle counselor. Researchers did not report on the potential health benefits of spending Saturday nights calling party lines while drunk and alone.

I can't believe this pathetic McGuinty has been crowned winner as such, by media and pollsters - they gave him (a wannabe NHLer) a free ride on what is has been a non-issue to many voters and managed to avoid holding him to account for his inaction on employment wage standards, poverty issues and the offloading of Provincial responsibilities on the City of Toronto. These died-in-the-roots conservatives (yes, McGuinty's treatment of the poor rivals Mike Harris' - many of this Province's disabled can't afford weekly medication needed to cope with their debilitating conditions. Who can afford monthly rents at $325!? which is the amount individuals living in poverty are given for subsistance), haven't addressed the folks still forced out on the street from the last party in power.
I'm voting NDP, I'm sure representation from a party with an understanding of whats really going on in this Province will force some sort of influence that might benefit society's most vulnerable citizens.

Dalton so wouldn't have cheesecake. He's more of a carrot-cake kind of guy, don't you think?
