		<description><![CDATA[I still remember the launch party for Virgin Mobile in Canada.  It hadn’t been a week or so since I had started working at SeaBoard Group, a telecommunications consulting company. The launch of the new cellular service was huge in Toronto. Everyone was excited about a new entrant, especially one led by entrepreneur extraordinaire Richard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While this analogy is likely to anger most Canadians, it will be posted in the hopes that there are some with open minds. Sometimes, when reading the news, I get the impression that Canada is like some sort of national carcass, with vultures encircling to scope the remains for scavenge. You see, we starved, waiting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David  Descôteaux has an excellent piece in the Metro News today. It simply must be added to this week&#8217;s Friday Fun pile:
&#8220;Funny dream last night …
I walk into a dark room. Above the  poker table, six faces are lit by a hanging lamp. From left to right:  Ms. Economic Crisis, Government, Consumer, [...]]]></description>

By prevention, what is discussed is Israel attacking Iran, which really can&#8217;t end well either way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These people get points for creativity; the proprietors of an outdoor marijuana growing operation lured black bears as a front line of defence for the farm. Police encountered the curious and relatively friendly bears in British Columbia along with a house-raccoon and a pot-bellied pig.
I wonder what will happen to all the animals now that [...]]]></description>

Call me crazy, but if parents didn&#8217;t want something that they believe is harmful to their children, and which isn&#8217;t likely necessary for their education, why is it imposed on their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an unsettling story; apparently, the equivalent of 1.16 micrograms of bisphenol A was traced per litre of urine. Along with the plastic hardener, some 88 percent of Canadians also had noticeable amounts of mercury in their blood. While the thought is unsettling, it shouldn&#8217;t be surprising, just consider the crap we are putting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why these things make news is beyond me. I am not sure what is worse, that it made the news or that someone actually did it. The Toronto Sun reported:

&#8220;A student from Brazil entered a Florida bar Tuesday morning, peed in  two cups, then placed them on the bar, police say.
