  1. @seanhealy Probably not ;-). I'm talking about George Zimmerman, the neighbourhood watch guy who protects us from skittles wielding youth.
  2. If I had the choice of walking down a dark alley towards Martin on THC and Zimmerman sober w/ a gun, I'd feel safer w/ Martin.
  3. Great… can't wait before the right wingers start blaming Trayvon Martin's death on THC. abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-mar…
  4. @pmharper please get rid of @ToewsVic and find someone who actually understands the issues involved with bill C-30 before reintroducing.
  5. Ughh. cbc.ca/news/politics/…. Please do us all a favour, @ToewsVic, and read 1984. p.s. It's not a manual for government.
  6. As if the war on drugs couldn't get more ridiculous. I hope this guy sues. nytimes.com/2012/05/03/us/…
  7. @LesPaulDuJour in case you need to take a music gear lust break from your travels in paradise: tracyevans.name/2012/04/25/fis…
  8. @AphorismAndy Until about an hour ago, I was not. Thanks for the link. Seems like a pretty interesting theory.
  9. @EricWarnke @janedoh13 I'm hoping we can find other ways. I don't think people should have to become politicians for fair representation.
  10. @EricWarnke @janedoh13 Fair enough. ~34 million Canadians @ 60% turnout and 60% on the left = ~12 million of us running for office.
  11. I'm actually pretty impressed with my generation… we're ready to fix the mess we've been given once the old guard gives up control.
  12. One of the things we are doing collectively is making sure our government's fuckups don't go down the memory hole. ex: #TellVicEverything
  13. At this point, I'd settle for us just admitting we're a plutocracy. Got to get past that denial step first...
  14. @EricWarnke @janedoh13 Past harassing our MPs, encouraging the youth vote, and actually trying to vote the bastards out, any suggestions?
  15. @seanhealy Democracy's fun to fight an occasional war over, but in practice, we North Americans find it rather inconvenient…
  16. So a party with less than 40% of the popular vote continually rams legislation through without discussion. Still think we're in a democracy?
  17. @mattystan Nope, wrong guy. I'm a happy agnostic.
  18. Never been happier to be losing a bet. Thanks for not letting the crazies take over, Alberta. Now to get rid of 1st past the post...
  19. RT @VladmirPutin: Seriously anyone that thinks we owe Smith anything for leading a party of gay bashing luddites is a fucking moron #abvote
