Stacked Felines

Posted on: Ides of May
I have two cats, a thirteen year old half siamese tabby named Cookie and a seven month old part maine coon kitten named Dawn. Part of the siamese half that Cookie acquired is their penchant for being vocal. For several weeks, Cookie has been relatively quiet for her and more demanding of attention than is her norm. click to enlarge

Yesterday, the vocal side of Cookie (seen on the right) returned with avengence. Normally Cookie would take possession of my bed once I vacate it in the morning, burying herself into the covers and sleeping most of the day.

Ontario Opposition 'flicking' Mad

Posted on: Out of the Shadows
The Ontario government’s decision to run an environmental awareness ad aimed at young people playing on their all to often use of the phrase “f*ck off” or “go f*ck yourself” has angered the opposition parties. Personally, I think if that is the worse they can come up with, it’s going to be a really boring election this fall.

Harper is Really Going to Blow It

Posted on: Out of the Shadows
The longer this detainee issue goes on, the worse Harper’s handling of it gets. His unwillingness to admit any error on his part is really making this drag on a lot longer than it needs to. At minimum the Minster of Defense needs to go. Some are hollering for Hillier’s head, well the agreement he worked out initially was not a good agreement, the question is, what was the Chief of Defense doing being authorized to do what should have been handled by either the Minister of Defense of Foreign Affairs?

Tim Horton's For Our Troops

Have you been facebooked? That has become an actual term these days, just like googling meaning to search. I’ve been on Facebook.com for a while now, still learning about it. One of the features there is the ability to join groups, there are thousands of them. I came across some today which are support groups for our forces serving Canada in Afghanistan.

Canada and Afghanistan Detainees

Posted on: Out of the Shadows
A month ago I was willing to cut Defense Minister Gordon O’Connor some slack in regards to the treatment of detainees after being turned over to Afghan authorities. I’m not now.

After misleading parliament either deliberately or through sheer ignorance of his own portfolio he traveled to Afghanistan and worked out an agreement with the head of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, that they would inform Canada of any reports of torture of detainees handed over by Canadian troops.

Afghanistan Update

I’ve been back to the ISAF Press Releases page and found the following from April 21-23:

50 women graduate from computer training classes
Fifty young women recently graduated from a 10-month long computer training program held at the Department of Womens’ Affairs. Donations from the HELP Non-Government Organization including teacher’s salaries, fuel, and computer maintenance as well as donations of computers by the Farah Provincial Reconstruction Team made the training possible with no cost to the students.

Dion Open to Electoral Reform

Posted on: Out of the Shadows
Apparently as part of Dion’s agreement with Elizabeth May the leader of the Green Party he’s indicated an openness to looking at electoral reform. There isn’t anything wrong with looking at our voting system periodically to consider if the system is fair. Assuming that something needs to be changed is not good though.

Afghanistan Stories We Don't See on the News

Posted on: Out of the Shadows
I started to write an entry here to rail against the Liberals stupidity in demanding a hard deadline on our troops being in the forwarding operational (aka combat) areas in Afghanistan. My anger that they can’t seem to get it that no war is fought on a timetable and without security no rebuilding can happen. Then I went hunting to find out just what has the troops so committed to this mission that politicians are playing partisan politics over when it is the troops who are in harms way.

Walking Challenge - Thursday

Posted on: Ides of May
Well, it is about 3pm on Thursday and at this point in the day, I have only 9k steps for the day. I should be able to easily pass the 10k point but that falls a tad short of the 13-14k I’d like to be at. I’ve spent about 60 minutes in walk in place today.Been working on writing for my blogs today so haven’t been up and moving around some. That is when I get appreciative of doing this walk in place. Without it, I likely would not have even broke 500 steps.

Virginia Tech - My Thoughts

Posted on: Out of the Shadows

Angels descending, bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Blessed Assurance, Fanny Crosby, 1873

Three days have passed since the murders of 32 people at Virginia Tech. Several times I have sought to put fingers to keyboard to share some thoughts about that awful day and several times I have moved on to other things unsure what I wanted to share. This morning, as I was preparing Sunday’s service bulletin, the words above start to shape my thoughts into some sense of order.

We Will Remember Him

In honour of our fallen CanadiansThey shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

In memory of our fallen Canadians:

Walking Challenge - Weekend & Monday

Posted on: Ides of May
Saturday I was able to go for my weekly walk with my friend so by the time the day was over I had 11,106 steps. I was also feeling rather stiff so I gave myself some break time yesterday. Well, it is 1:30 on Monday and I’ve just broke 10,000 steps or 5.4km. I should be able to hit the 12k steps mark today. I would like to hit 15,000 steps by next Saturday.

Ontario Electoral Reform?

Posted on: Out of the Shadows
Well, as often happens things either change or potential for change happens. In Ontario for the last several months 103 Ontarians have been looking at ways of tinkering with how we elect our provincial parliament. Some call it electoral reform, I tend to look at it more as electoral tinkering and I can’t say I’m leaning towards supporting those changes which thankfully, I will have opportunity to vote on it in October.
