Harumph! The Blasted Colonial Upstarts!

Clearly these lumberjacks and beaver pelt traders are getting a little too big for their breeches! How *dare* they defy the request of their betters! There was a time when those bumpkins at the fur trading post could be horsewhipped for their impertinence! A happier time, when the lower classes knew their place, and did not rise above their station.

Bite my Tim Horton's drinking, hockey loving butt, you silly,silly Bobbies.

Hmmm, Ubuntu Tablet Sounds More Appealing Every Day

At first I detested Unity, but it's kinda grown on me. Then Google started messing with my apps, and my Playbook is looking like a bit of a turkey after 16 months. Finally, I saw the Jono Bacon's bit about Ubuntu phone and Tablet, on the Nexus 7!

I am now seriously pondering a Nexus 10 with ubuntu.

Seriously.

I just can't wrap my head around a subscription model.

Doing Business with the Chinese

As a Canadian, I am *so-o-o-o-o-* glad that a Chinese state owned corporation was able to buy up a sizeable chunk of the Athabasca Oilsands! Boy, we sure showed them! Our Government says that in doing so, we might encourage the Communist Party to loosen the controls a bit, and allow for greater individual freedom.

Gee, that seems to be working just swell. Evidently, they do not have to do a damned thing and we will still sell out our national resources to them. I cannot wait to be pushed aside from my own homeland to make way for Chinese exploitation. Careful - they might be listening! Oooh, won't I be in trouble now!
