published Jan. 7, 2009: Harper on Junior (and vice/versa)

I couldn't help but notice Harper in attendance at the Junior World Championship tournament. He was trying to look all casual and normal. Never seems to be able to pull that one off. Anyway, I guess this is one of the ways you can kill some time while your government is Perogued or Perogied or whatever the hell they call it. Good P.R., too, I guess.
Anyway, I'm glad Canada won.... again. But I couldn't help thinking of the irony. We beat Sweden in the final.... on the other hand they are amongst the top countries in the world for taking care of its young.... Canada?... Well, we don't even come close to the medal round.... in fact we are in danger of being relegated to a lower level. So, Mr. Harper, I ask you, what's really important and where the hell are you when it comes to lending support for things that really matter?

Published Cartoons: Sept.27, '07... Day Care Space

It's seems to me that lately, provincial and federal governments have been promising to create more affordable day care spaces, but nothing much ever seems to get done. I don't know which is better... governments like Mike Harris's Conservatives who promise to do nothing for social services for middle and low income people and then keep their word and do nothing... or Parties that appear to have a social conscience and make nice promises and then do little or nothing about it?
Let's just call it a toss up. Although I guess there's at least more hope with someone who can at least "think" of nice things to say.
