… at least, that’s how a post on dslreports describes it, going on, “Should be some interesting arguments about the discrimination of an entire protocol and the discrimination of a population who use P2P, thanks to Bell Canada …” Because today is the day the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) opens its investigate into traffic [...]

The federal Liberal party’s newfound success in fundraising and membership recruitment has suddenly become the object of considerable attention from the Canadian punditocracy. This week, for instance, there were suggestions in the National Post ( “Ottawa Bob,” editorial, June 30 ) that the party’s national director is overly rosy in his descriptions of the progress recently...

Just when you thought the Conservatives couldn't sink any lower, comes word of their latest disgusting but taxpayer-funded 10-per center mailer. This one in Quebec targets the Bloc Quebecois : A pervert in a plaid shirt is luring a child in a park, but the Bloc Québécois will not do anything to stop him, the Conservative Party says in a new round of attack ads. The message, which was...

One of the most frustrating aspects of being a New Democrat is that Liberal and Conservative supporters often try to make demonstrably and manifestly false claims about our party. One of the more oft-parroted (and false) lines about the NDP is that we don't have original policy proposals, but instead devote all our attention to criticizing the ideas of others. In a stroke of Orwellian irony, this...

I really liked this article from the Ottawa Citizen. We have abandoned or rewritten our history. The grits have decided that only foreign traditions are good. trudeau's attempts to destroy the ROC , while exalting Quebec, seem to be working. My Canada includes Canada I've been writing in this newspaper for a while now (more than 12 happy years), and the subject of "Canada Day" has come up...

Serious students of the mandolin have long revered the name of Lloyd Loar, the Gibson luthier from the 1920s whose design innovations during his brief 5 year tenure are widely credited with revolutionizing their fretted instruments. Gibson’s most prized mandolins are still built to his specs, and vintage F-5s signed by Lloyd Loar command astronomical [...]

"Who would've thought that an avant-garde arts experiment would become one of the nation's best-known companies within its first decade? That it would launch careers as diverse as those of Peter Coyote, Shabaka and Bill Graham? That a gritty anti-establishment troupe would win a Tony award? Or that mimes could be this vocal? Actually, the Mime Troupe has hardly ever been silent."...
