Wear Pants on the Subway

A new Facebook group has started: Toronto Transit operators against public harassment. TTC employees are angry over commuters snapping pictures of some of them who were sleeping on the job or stopping for extended coffee breaks. They plan to snap back.

This has gotten out of hand! Once upon a time, in a kinder gentler Toronto, the bus driver would park and get some of his shopping done. At which point I'd take off my pants and open a can of Colt 45.

NO LONGER!

What caused this social break down between drivers and patrons of the TTC? Are we so vain that we can't look over each other's shortcomings?

The next time you see someone asleep at their post, put your camera away. Take a nap, too. Or else they may take your picture later on when you spray paint your initials on the side of a bus.

In Manitoba

last Sunday police seized 300 pounds of marijuana packed neatly in boxes in a tractor-trailer. With Ontario plates, the truck had been heading east.

Why is nobody outraged that Manitoba is screwing with trade between B.C. and Ontario? This country is supposed to be a confederation, Manitoba: You shouldn't be taking things that belong in Ontario.

The B.C. government has spent

$150,000 on an information centre to educate foreign journalists about the poverty in Vancouver's downtown east side. They don't want anyone to get the wrong impression about the destitution that plagues the area.

Maybe we could just educate foreign journalists about all other social problems in Canada to make those problems go away.

A Vancouver Olympic propaganda poster trying to smooth over poverty?

Based on what his 10-year on again off again ex-girlfriend says,

http://www.radaronline.com is reporting that Canadian singer Michael Bublé is a, 'self-obsessed jerk who craves sex, cannabis, and cake.' There's no joke here.

Addiction is a serious matter. Hopefully, Bublé can find a way to battle his demons and kick the cake habit before he really puts on weight.

In other Canadian celebrity news, Justin Bieber told reporters, "I love Canada: I think you guys are great," proving that once you become famous, you become American.

As everybody knows...

Canada is a backward country full of superstition and tales of witchcraft. News has been swirling around of the flag-carrier's curse during the Olympics. The curse states that whoever carries the flag in the opening ceremony of the games will go on to become an incredible failure in their sport; not winning any medals and, possibly, erupting into flames. This year they must have drawn straws: Clara Hughes, a speed skater and cyclist, lost. Good-luck, Clara: You'll need it.

Osama Bin Laden supports the Green Party?

A video has surfaced inwhich he calls on the international community to boycott the U.S. in order to go green. Destroying the American economy will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gases, he said. But, using the same thinking, shouldn't we destroy the Nigerian economy to get rid of internet spam?
