New Brunswick’s True Beauty
Most Canadians probably already have heard about Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, even if they have never been. What most people probably don’t realize is that it is incredibly beautiful!

Natsume Soseki
The two years I spent in London were the most unpleasant years in my life. Among English gentlemen I lived in misery, like a poor dog that had strayed among a pack of wolves.
Say what you want, but I have heard the same from many people who had the misfortune of living in the Queen’s capital. Expensive, dingy and dirty, London must be the slum of all the world’s capitals.

Japanese Dramas
Generally I do not watch Japanese Dramas (sometimes referred to as “J Drama” or “Dorama”). While I appreciate certain qualities of theirs, in particular the presence of a beginning/middle/end, I find they are depressing and heavy-handed. This is almost certainly the result of being made in Japan – like a friend of mine once told me, the “Good Guys” always win in Hollywood and they always lose in Japan. However, in every case I have seen thus far, these shows are compelling until the very end – a far cry from the poor examples of drama we produce at home in Canada.
I hate it when he’s right
I don’t often agree with conservative bloggers from America. I often find a lot of them are angry, or outright hateful. There are a few Canadians like that too, but for the most part the Conservative blogging up North is a touch higher class, as you can see here. Not only is the point properly expressed, it is damn right. The Liberal Christmas message is completely incompetent, were they not paying attention to all the hubub going on down south?
Arrogant disassociation with reality can cost the Liberals dearly in the election. I don’t celebrate Christmas, but my neighbours give me Christmas cards anyway – and I don’t mind at all. Mutual cultural respect means that I get the celebrate my festivals, they get to celebrate theirs, and we both are happy for each other when it happens.
