The Toast : Why Finn is the Best Character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Thu, 7 Jan 2016 20:44:39 +0000

Yes to all of the above. I have no problem. I just didn't get the bond between Finn and Rey, and I just have no feeling for his story.

Hey! Our parliament buildings are up on a hill, so we'll be okay!

Yea, because cold air is heavier and goes to the bottom.

Just filled it out. Wasn't asked to do the long form. As to compulsion and penalties: are those prisons for unreported crime comfy?

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Because they're not dead yet.

Maybe I spelled Machieavelli wrong?

Those who can, do. Those who can't return to teaching - Machievelli

Macleans.ca : And now, the exciting conclusion

I'm not so sure that Ignatieff will leave so soon. It would be wise, I think on behalf of the Liberals, to put him in front until the Conservatives are defeated in a non-confidence - at least. Give him that, then, there will be changes, CPC and Liberal.

Nobody cares about the low hanging fruit.

Macleans.ca : The NDP is bad, except when it's not

Canadians do not have to be concerned about Prairie NDP governments 10 years ago. Finally, we have a date when we can ignore anything that happened before then as irrelevant. Thank the CPC war-room for us!

Macleans.ca : Conservatives no longer expect to win majority: party source

No one really disputes that we need new jets. The dispute is that we don't need first attack capable stealth fighters without engines, whose cost keeps going up, which can't fly anywhere on one engine anyway without re-fueling.

Only half a million? Chump change.

Narcissistic sociopath is more likely.

Also, no engines.

Responsible government.

Some people are fans of psychopaths.

Macleans.ca : The Bull Meter: Stephen Harper on ministerial budgets

Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:04:08 +0000

This looks like one of those things which is technically true - so it isn't really bullsh!t - but it's really of no value.
