Welcome To My Blog!

Here we go, with the first entry in my blog. I would spend time explaining what I plan to do with this but to be totally honest, I have only a vague idea.

With this blog, I am endeavoring to bring humour and / or insight into the news of the day. I will offer opinions and views on the hottest headlines, pop culture, historical events, the human mind and our behaviours and need to fit into society, or the lack of such need. I'll touch on every subject except the British Monarchy.

Speaking of La Royales, I wish Canada would get over this whole Queen thing. It has been almost 30 years since Prime Minister Trudeau brought the Constitution home from The United Kingdom. I remember being a little boy, watching out over Parliament Hill as Trudeau and the Queen scribed their names on the historical document that gave Canada their so-called Independence from England.

So-called. To this day, our coins and money adorn Her Majesty, and the leader of our Nation, surprise!, isn't even our elected Prime Minister. That's right, the Governal General, an UNLECTED representave of the British Queen in Canada, is at the top of the food chain when it comes to Canadian Leadership. Does the fact that a Nation like Canada has to answer to Britain (albeit, more of just a rummer-stamping type job) not bother anyone? Yes, there are many other issues that we have as Canadians, believe me. But this whole Colonial thing has to go.

I think we should, on our coins and bills, put pictures of good looking, famous and noteworthy Canadians. Like, let's say... Pamela Anderson. Or maybe Elisha Cuthbert! Yes, that's about right. I would definitely get into coin collecting if they adorned the visage of the BC Beauty Become American Sweetheart. Or perhaps more of a modern outlook on our money. Jim Carrey? John Candy? Alanis Morrisette? Or even Stompin' Tom Conners! I think he at least deserves $5 bill.

So, as you can see, this blog will be just a chance for me to ramble on about various topics and events that I have on my mind. Hope you find it enjoyable, or perhaps amusing... at the very least, readable.

Peace and Love from Canada
