Brault Brault Brault Your Boat…

by Sean McCormick
Ahem. I will be posting a link to some very interesting off-site information at 11 pm Mountain Time this evening. Information which may or may not pertain to Jean Brault’s recent Gomery testimony and salacious rumours about the impending collapse of Canada’s Liberal government. I’d like to say more, but one does have to be ... Read More

Gay Rights vs Property Rights

by Sean McCormick
It’s things like this that cause me to regret supporting same sex marriage: A B.C. lesbian couple, who accuse a Catholic men’s group of discriminating against them by refusing to rent them a hall for their wedding reception, took their case to a human rights tribunal Monday. Deborah Chymyshyn and Tracey Smith rented a Knights ... Read More

Stay Home

by Sean McCormick
Finally, someone has spoken up about the rampant political opportunism surrounding the tsunami relief efforts in Asia. The U.N. Secretary General, Kofi Annan, pointed out in his own diplomatic way that, as the water recedes, it is quickly being replaced by a flood of foreign dignitaries. As they drop by for a photo op and ...

Will We Keep Caring?

by Sean McCormick
After almost two weeks of constant news coverage of the tsunami horrors in South Asia, some rather odd questions are being asked by media critics and other writers around the globe. Some wonder if news budgets would have been spent half as quickly, had the waves not obliterated areas frequented by tourists, such as Phuket ... Read More

He Blinked First

by Sean McCormick
Here’s a quick recap of where things stood yesterday afternoon: Ian Scott had posted a conjecture to his Web site that Warren Kinsella took exception to, and resulted in some legal unpleasantness between those individuals (still ongoing). [Update: now resolved ] I did some research into Ian’s post, and while I agree that the content ... Read More

A Question for Warren Kinsella

by Sean McCormick
Warren, in light of the umbrage you displayed over the post at Babbling Brooks which drew a legal response from you, I’m curious as to how you would defend your conduct towards David Janes, another Canadian blogger. To refresh your memory, here are your words again: “The Internet is full of red-necked, mouth-breathing rightist poltroons ... Read More

Publicly Owned Private Property

by Sean McCormick
Lawyers representing the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation have just put the hammer down on a couple of bloggers who were only trying to help send some traffic to the CBC’s Web site. Bloggers Sarah and Leo assembled a RSS feed for the latest news items offered up on the CBC’s Web site. They were simply helping ... Read More

Internet Radio for the Right

by Sean McCormick
I originally asked this question over at the Western Standard Blog in a comment, but I’d like to know why those on the right of the political spectrum in Canada haven’t considered setting up their own Internet radio station? It seems http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2004/09/e_read.html#commentsto me that this would be much more productive than the continual carping about ... Read More

News: The Other Dot-BOMB

by Sean McCormick
The Toronto Star has joined the ranks of the Globe & Mail and Canwest Global. What they used to provide for free, for a short period, they now provide for pay (or under the guise of “registration”), for a shorter period. (The Canwest group actually charges for web content) What the hell am I on ... Read More

Patronage Pays

by Sean McCormick
Here’s a prime example of why I’ll never vote for Ben Mulroney when he eventually manages to slime his way into the Conservative Party of Canada. (Or whatever it will be called by then.): “Whether anyone wants to hear this or not, this is a fact: Patronage, in and of itself, is not a bad ... Read More
