I planted poppy seeds (no, not the ones from my bagel, the ones from the pods my mother gave me from her [...]
I found this over at Flip Flopping Joy.
I used to love love love Free to be… You and Me as a child. The stories still hold life lessons.
Enjoy. And may you always run freely with the wind.

An article on today’s cbc.ca struck me. It seemed unbelievable, the title seemed out of a supermarket paper, a tabloid:
Quebec pastor who took child bride sentenced to 5 years
According to the article, when Daniel Cormier was 48 he, a self-proclaimed pastor, married a 10-year old member of his Church. His Church was for the homeless [...]
Montreal may ban insults to police. Story from cbc.ca.
er… what do you think of this?
Me? I think it’s wrong. Definitely, people should respect others – regardless of the role(s) they play in society.

The rest of this post has been edited, on the advice of two [...]

I am learning how affected I am by the light. Yesterday I looked through a year’s worth of blog posts as I submitted 1 post for each month of 2008 to Blogapalooza and saw a pattern. In the depths of winter, whenever there is a lack of light, I have doubts. I am down. I [...]
I just signed a complaint directed to the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) whose job it is to regulate what is aired in Canada.
