To Return or Not to Return

It's been over a year since my last post, and I'm thinking of starting up again.

I've actually received several emails with offers to buy this blog - interesting.

There's lots to talk about these days. Stay tuned.

Leadership Convention Excitement

I have to admit I find the Liberal leadership convention more than a little exciting. When I read guys like Calgary Grit blogging about it, I get a little jealous. This is the first political convention that I've seen in a long, long time where everyone didn't know who was going to win well in advance. Better still, there are 4 people who could take it!

You all can probably guess who I, along with many other Tories, am cheering for. :)

Yet Another Crappy Program That I'll Pay For and Not Receive any Benefit From

I'm really getting tired of things like this:

A proposed national plan to cover "catastrophic" drug costs should not apply equally to all Canadians, suggests a federal-provincial report released Thursday.

THE HITLER RESTAURANT?

Oh My God...

MUMBAI (Reuters) - A new restaurant in India's financial hub, named after Adolf Hitler and promoted with posters showing the German leader and Nazi swastikas, has infuriated the country's small Jewish community.

'Hitler's Cross', which opened last week, serves up a wide range of continental fare and a big helping of controversy, thanks to a name the owners say they chose to stand out among hundreds of Mumbai eateries.

"We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in people's minds," owner Punit Shablok told Reuters.

"We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different."
On another note, I didn't realize India had Jews.
