Let it Be

on August 14th, 2010 by Admin

The Beatles had something going back in the 60’s when they coined such prophetic and inspirational songs as Let it Be, Across the Universe, With a Little Help from my friends, All you need is Love, Here comes the Sun, I Wanna hold your hand – the list is endless! Story after short story of [...]

November 2, 2008 – Live from New York REPOST

on August 13th, 2010 by Admin

There is a certain ‘je n’est ce quoi’ about the feeling, the scent, the touch of New York; it is alive, and rampant as though, at times, one could pick it up and carry it around with them. Bountiful glory, where the melting pot of America has somehow mixed, melded and fused into some sort [...]

Tremé is the Music

on April 17th, 2010 by Admin

It’s a district of New Orleans that they call Tremé (Trehmay) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treme) ; one of the oldest areas, with deep roots of African-American and Creole blending into some sort of historical jambalaya, rich with flavour and texture, colour and excitement.

David Simon (The Wire) and Eric Overmyer (Law & Order) take their new HBO Drama, Tremé [...]

Unclenching the Fist

on January 26th, 2009 by Admin

Earlier this week, Canada was fortunate enough to bear witness to a momentous change in World Leadership. Leadership as such has never gripped the entire world as it did on January 20, 2009, when President Barack Obama was sworn into office in the United States of America.
Canadians looked on, pining for an inkling of [...]

Imagination takes Hold

on January 21st, 2009 by Admin

Canada got together collectively and reached across the 49th parallel in extending our warmest of embraces to our American brothers and sisters, as Obama fever swept the continent.

Our national conscience rose to a new level, perhaps able to finally imagine what political leadership looks like; how it feels, it smells, it tastes; able to finally [...]

Fear and Loathing in Lost Wages

on December 16th, 2008 by Admin

Religion and the Right Wing Conservative movement seem to prey upon the ever present human condition of ‘Fear’; fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of terror, fear of something, anything that actually has not occurred yet. From a socio-anthropological perspective, this tendency toward being scared and frightened has enabled societies throughout the [...]

O Holy Right

on December 12th, 2008 by Admin

Response to: Russ Hiebert casts opposition coalition as ‘unholy,’ Dec. 5., Peace Arch News

“I believe that upon reflection, many opposition MPs are going to recognize that this unholy alliance with the Bloc is a terrible idea and reject it.” ~ Russ Hiebert

Russ Hiebert’s continual wayward use of religious dogma is more than amusing. [...]

Monsieur Dion, could I cut in?

on December 5th, 2008 by Admin

I must admit that I have been quietly enthralled by the sheer number of temper tantrums in and about Rideau Hall as of late. There have been yelling matches during Question Period, insults during prime time, and out and out defamations during many a ‘private’ meeting. Stephane Dion, Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe or Stephen [...]

The Three Mousketeers and the big bad Wolf

on December 3rd, 2008 by Admin

Neither Minnie or Micky, nor even the three little pigs can seem to find any sort of solace with the current affairs of le Government du Canada. I am sure that not even in their wildest fairy tale dreams could any of the key combatants have imagined what has taken place within this past week.
Stephen [...]
