    Why wait until tomorrow when the BQ reads Friday’s Gomery Testimony into the Hansard Record during Question Period? Get all your Gomery Rumour and innuendo in the US media and blogs…and from ex-pats who are out-of-country and can say any damn thing they want on the topic.
    Frankly, I think that the Liberal Government should fall. It was a shock to me that they managed to hang on to a minority. In a new election, Quebec won’t be so nice to them, and Western Canada will be shocked by the Quebec favouritism and vote en-masse for the Conservatives, with the NDP picking up some scraps in BC, Ontario and the Maritimes.
    Chretien should be made to pay it all back — all $1 billion+ he and his cronies stole from the Canadian people.
    Frankly, Canada is just a giant deep pit of greed. Moving to Europe is looking more and more like the only way to escape the stupidity of the Americas.

  • Myth of the Silver Hammer

    Bang, Bang
    Maxwell’s Silver Hammer came down upon his head

    Snopes has a great discussion of the myth of the Silver Hammer Technique upon the death of a Pope. [here]

  • Fraser Valley Mountains…YAWN!

    Dave Winer has some Fraser Valley Mountains up as his header graphic right now.

    Not real mountains, but sort of reminds me of home…

    Shameless Plug!
    High volume traffic from the home country. This means that potential employers may be reading this.
    I am still looking for a position in Canada.
    HINT! HINT!


    Thanks to the The Captain’s Quarters blog, some of the secret testimony from the Gomery Inquiry is being published on this side of the border.
    The Liberals are a bunch of corrupt gangsters.
    The Conservatives are spineless rascists and theocratic demagogues.
    The NDP…is nice but effectively useless.
    Needless to say, my opinion of any and all Canadian Federal parties is extremely low. None of them deserve to run the country…well, the Natural Law Party had my vote for a while
    Maybe it’s time for a REAL change!
    Thanks to Bruce at The Autonomous Source.

  • More CRM Hate Goodness

    Tony Goodson blasts the MindJet/SalesForce.Com integration. [here]
    Having just discovered Mind Map Tools (I use FreeMind; who can actually afford a MindJet License?), I have found that they are a great thing when you are brainstorming.
    But integrating them into a CRM?
    CRMs are nothing better than really expensive phonebooks/logs. That’s it. In order to really get them to work, you have to buy this plug-in, drop in this module, tweak the interface, write some custom code…
    Yeah, like that is a good spend.
    My former company invested in Siebel, mainly because the CEO is part of the former Oracle Executive Cult. Siebel is crap. I hated using it. It was useless, bloated and added 6 hours a week of mindless busy work that everyone in the company could have been using to perform truly useful tasks.
    At my current company, we use SalesForce.Com. The only time I use it is to look up a phone number or an e-mail address.
    And it’s supposed to make companies more productive?
    Run!

  • Karol Jozef Wojtyla has Died

    May he rest in Peace.
    Despite my many differences with him in matters of the world, I always respected him for what his ultimate goal was: peace and brotherhood.
    As a member of the great Polish Diaspora, I feel his loss very deeply.

  • David Sobotta: The View From Inside the Apple

    David Sobotta, at his ApplePeels Blog is making some interesting comments on the control Apple exerts on its people and its message. [here]
    The more I read about and from the Castle in Cupertino, the more I realize that the products are cool, but the brand management is so 20th Century.
    Thanks to David for dropping by and letting me know about his blog.
