O’Connor Heading for the Door?
Posted at: Out of the Shadows
Rumour has it that Gordon O’Connor, the lameduck Canadian Defence Minister is due to be shuffled out the door. That move is long overdue. How the guy made it to Brigadier-General during his days in the military is beyond me. Although, I suspect that his biggest gaffe as Minister of Defence is that he forgets he doesn’t command the troops and has failed to consult with the Chief of Defence General Rick Hillier. He likely needs to remember that ego doesn’t a minister make. ...read post

Tightfisted Canucks Need Tipping Etiquette
Posted on: Your Money & YOU!
A recent study by the Bank of Montreal claims that Canadians tend to be tightfisted when it comes to tipping. The study seems to indicate that the problem is more a lack of understanding of who to tip and how much than truly being tightfisted with their money.
I generally tip in restaurants and when I get my hair cut but never would think of tipping in other situations. The site, The Original Tipping Page, carries a list of situations and common guidelines on how to determine tips. ... read more
Archbishop of York Speaks Out
Posted at: Ides of May
In a flurry of huffing and puffing following the distribution of invitations to the 2008 Lambeth conference in May, some bishops, particularly those in the so called Global South have declared they will not be accepting their invitations if some of their allies weren’t invited. I’ve watched this childishness going on and wondered when it would dawn on the stuffed shirts that if they remain outside the Anglican Communion tent they claim ownership to that they loose their voice in their efforts to push others out of the tent. ...read post

US Military Might be Catching a Clue
Post at: Out of the Shadows
One of the problems with have a strong level of confidence of who you are is that instead of carrying that awareness with humility there can be a tendency to want to carry a big stick to make sure that no one dares to challenge your confidence. So it has been with the US for a long time. They have consistently blundered into situations with an attitude of ‘we are the superpower and we will be obeyed’ which only serves to seriously blur the line between being confident and being arrogant bullies. ...read post
