Idealistic Pragmatist: One of several options
http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2008/12/one-of-several-options.html
Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Friday, December 05, 2008. One of several options. Was the Governor-General wrong to prorogue? Hell if I know. It seemed like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of situation, and there really was no good choice. Harper should not have asked for it, that much is certain. But what's done is done. Us the parliament we vote for, but we still have the possibility (and, I would argue, the responsibility). I've never had a lot of faith that these things wil...
Idealistic Pragmatist: On the backroom
http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-backroom.html
Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Thursday, December 04, 2008. Consider this: When people in the same party get together to talk about plans for laws or governance or strategy, we call it a caucus meeting. But when people from different parties do exactly the same thing, we call it a secret backroom plot. Is that really the message we want to send to the people who govern us? Wall off the parties and make sure no one leaves their bubble? Posted by Idealistic Pragmatist. There'll be a new Throne ...
Idealistic Pragmatist: MMP and me
http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2007/09/mmp-and-me.html
Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Saturday, September 22, 2007. It occurs to me that some of you may not realize that I wasn't born a statistics-spouting, FAQ-writing, electoral reform geek- I was made that way. This post is that story. For them- it actually produced policies that most of the country agreed with. What a wonderful thing this 'parliamentary democracy' thing was. Program for the benefit of the rapidly democratizing East Germans. Your ballot has two votes,. And then came the results.
Idealistic Pragmatist: NDP policy convention redux
http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2006/09/ndp-policy-convention-redux.html
Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Monday, September 11, 2006. NDP policy convention redux. Intense. Exhausting. Exhilarating. Frustrating. Brilliant. That was the NDP policy convention in Québec City, in a nutshell. Oh, and did I mention intense? I'm getting ahead of myself, so I'll back up. Be forewarned, though, that this may well be the longest blog post ever written, so you might want to fix yourself something nice to eat before you dive in. And a francophone transgendered woman named Michel...
Idealistic Pragmatist: We have polling
http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2008/12/we-have-polling.html
Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Wednesday, December 03, 2008. Has released polling data about the proposed coalition. Here are their answers to the main three questions:. Which of these statements comes closest to your own view? The Conservative party deserves to continue in government: 35%. The Conservative party does not deserve to continue in government: 40%. Should the opposition parties get together and topple the Conservative minority government headed by Stephen Harper? Just as fascinat...

Dispassionate Precisionist: Secularist Public Speech
http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/06/secularist-public-speech.html
Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Saturday, June 09, 2007. Is the nontheistic lobbyist for the Secular Coalition for America. In 2006, she delivered this speech. She strikes me as an effective, reasonable, and modest public speaker and made some good points. It’s a worthwhile speech to watch. Posted by D.R.M. : 12:08 PM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Dispassionate Precisionist: My thoughts on Pakistan
http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-thoughts-on-pakistan.html
Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Thursday, July 05, 2007. My thoughts on Pakistan. News about developing countries gives one appreciation for the stability exhibited in an industrialized liberal democracy like Canada. Take, for instance, Pakistan where students want to impose Sharia law. On the rest of the country. Unfortunately, the strongest opposition to Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan is that of Musharraf’s illegitimate government. Which refuses to resort back to liberal democracy.

Dispassionate Precisionist: June 2008
http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Thursday, June 26, 2008. NDP Strategy Suggestion: Look West. Western Canada has long had an affinity for progressive populism. The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 set off the labour movement within Canada and left a strong impression on Tommy Douglas, who would go on to lead the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation to victory. The NDP could have capitalized on this Western discontent had they listened to Dave Barrett. Westerners on policy mat...

Dispassionate Precisionist: State Secularism
http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/05/state-secularism.html
Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Saturday, May 12, 2007. Government decisions should look at the worldly effects of policies, coupled with evaluating them based on secular, consensus-based ethics. Specific government offices shouldn’t issue statements supporting a single religion. This view is state secularism. This doesn’t say that specific politicians can’t act on ethical precepts which originated from their own religion. It merely says that the text of Private Members Bills. To establ...

Note: "C-48" link edited on July 7 to specific version of Wiki article. Before joining the Blogging Dippers.

Dispassionate Precisionist: The Struggle for Proportional Representation
http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/07/struggle-for-proportional.html
Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Wednesday, July 04, 2007. The Struggle for Proportional Representation. Electing Members of Parliament in Canada is pretty simple. The country is divided into 308 districts. And it causes fear-based voting. If you watch reruns of This Hour Has Twenty-Two Minutes. The NDP received 17.48 % of the overall national vote while getting only 9.42 % * of the seats in the House of Commons. The Liberal candidate, Tina Keeper, with a minority 40.68% of the distr...

Dispassionate Precisionist: Teaching the Bible in School
http://dispassion-precision.blogspot.com/2007/06/teaching-bible-in-school.html
Observations on whatever I desire to write about. Wednesday, June 06, 2007. Teaching the Bible in School. Times Columnist David Van Bieman presents his case for teaching the (Judeo-Christian) Bible in Schools. The course should be secular, describing textual examination of the bible, and its role in literary history. I’d also suggest some comparative study be done, particularly with the Qu’ran and the Mystery Religions of the Roman Empire. As long as it is taught in the manner I described, it is. Strict ...

spurs: McGuinty all rhetoric on abortion, or how does an avowed Roman Catholic maintain any credibility on feminist issues?
http://actsofcitizenship.blogspot.com/2011/07/mcguinty-all-rhetoric-on-abortion-or.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. McGuinty all rhetoric on abortion, or how does an avowed Roman Catholic maintain any credibility on feminist issues? The recent turn by Ontario Liberals to dredge up the abortion issue is quite fascinating. Is it out of sheer desperation to change the channel? Is it a suicide pact? A vain attempt to hold on to "progressives" they've manage to fool in the past? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Idealistico | Some thoughts about all kinds of ideals
Some thoughts about all kinds of ideals. Posts will resume in the near future. I’m in love with Breton. A quiet hello said low in the morning. A genuine effort: welcome, Newcomer. A home, a life, some food and some funding. Solid company that brings us together. The alluring, the shy, the quick and the funny. A love that binds us stronger than tethers. A mouth that is mellow and slower than honey. With lips that procure, that swell and are hungry. The sounds of kisses, the battles of loving.

Grasp each and every opportunity with both hands, and make the most out of life. Monday, April 24, 2006. Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex slave. My beau called me her sex slave when we quarrelled the other day. It totally made me pissed off. She said that it's only because of the way I can please her and the way I can give her intense orgasms is the reason why we're still together. Posted by Alex at 6:48 pm. Monday, March 13, 2006.

Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969. Thursday, December 29, 2016. Pseudonymity is not the problem. It's been years since I posted to this blog, but this needs to be said, and it's going to take more than 140 characters to do so. There has been an epidemic lately of left-wing Albertans calling out their political opponents on social media not for their words or their actions, but for using a pseudonym. Friends, it is hurtful when you do this. Posted by Idealistic Pragmatist. Links to this post.
The Idealisticrat
Sunday, June 8, 2008. Lately people have been throwing around the "historic" qualities of Barack Obama's bid for the White House. Jon Stewart poked fun at it pretty recently, and I had to agree, it did seem a little silly the way people were ready to depend so heavily on Senator Obama so early. Look, she got a little nuts towards the end of her campaign, but I mean she was a Democrat and she would have done a lot to make this nation better and it would have been sad to see her win the nomination over Bar...

idealistic realism
June 16, 2009. I’ve been having some pretty spectacular dreams lately. And no, this is not due to a recent interest in narcotics. ;). Anyway, I wonder if as I am pretty much starting my life completely over (at least superficially), these strange dreams are really my brain subconsciously trying to make sense of things and adapt. Think about (literally) jumping into the deep end of a pool after being out in the sun for a long time. You don’t know how cold the water is, you have only. March 17, 2009. Jenna...
