Opine Apparatus: Those Opining
http://opineapparatus.blogspot.com/p/those-opining.html
Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! I think I'm enlightened. I think I'm educated. And I have read more books than most that explain the rules of engagement on raising two healthy, happy girls. But obviously, they've not read the same books. Tomorrow, full of promise. Paul Silver (aka Cayman). The Isle of Mulling. Animation by Sevenoaks Art. What is there to say? I read. I write. Everything else is in there somewhere. When Words Go Free. Stranger in a Strange Land. The Stranger Looks Back. My little-girl se...

Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! Thursday, April 21, 2011. Our good neighbours have presidential elections every four years that last for two years; we have federal elections every two years that last for about a month, which most of us find way too long. The longest-serving party leader is still known primarily for how silly he once looked in a hairnet while visiting a cheese factory, some 14 years after it happened. Links to this post.

Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! Saturday, June 18, 2011. Going Postal - Canadian Style. The union, in a rare stroke of brilliant strategy, started with rotating strikes, wherein various urban centres would lose mail delivery for one day at a time. This had the double benefit of not terribly inconveniencing the mail-receiving public at the same time as causing Canada Post major administrative headaches. When the union didn't bite, the company complained that its reduced service was costing it too much in...

Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! Wednesday, August 7, 2013. It could have been perfect.". There is no excuse for this. Everybody who was involved should be shot. And drawn and quartered, whatever that is. And made to watch it over and over until their heads explode. For the almost 30 years since I first read it, it has been one of my favourite books. Ever. When I first heard talk of a movie, I waited anxiously for further news. And waited. And waited. Because Kim Richards was in it) online, I thought to ...

Opine Apparatus: December 2010
http://opineapparatus.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! Tuesday, December 14, 2010.

Cover of Strange Brew. Before embarking on my studies, I asked myself if I knew any famous and important Canucks. Sadly, the first people that came to mind were Bob and Doug McKenzie, from the movie Strange Brew. I endeavored to find ...

Opine Apparatus: October 2012
http://opineapparatus.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! Monday, October 15, 2012. But one thing is certain, and it’s that I’m a jerk for making this site. Oh well. Someone had to do it eventually. The rest, as they say, is history (and if you don't know it, google it or watch the damn movie), so let's fast-forward to last Wednesday, October 10, 2012, the day a British Columbia teen named Amanda Todd committed suicide, a month and a few days after she posted a video on YouTube. According to the wiki article. Attributed to cyber...

Because Our Opinions Don't Suck! Sunday, February 13, 2011. My Holy Land Experience Redux. This is a reprint of a blog post I made on my blog last year. Enjoy! I went to the Holy Land Experience.
