Ujjal Dosanjh
Ujjal Dosanjh says Canada should care about Sri Lanka because he is from that region. He provides no other reason why Canada should care more about Sri Lanka's civil war than any other domestic conflict around the world. Does he advocate that Canada get involved in Spain's fight with Basque separatists/ETA? The Kurd's violent struggle for independence from Turkey? Has he warranted peace talks between France and Corsica? Suggested Canada solve the troubles in Northern Ireland? Has Ujjal Dosanjh writen to Obama about Puerto Rico's lack of federal voting rights?
No, he has not. He advocates that the government of Canada be somehow involved (he doesn't provide details) in the civil war in Sri Lanka. I say Canada should do nothing in the case of Sri Lanka. Just as Canada is wisely doing nothing in the aforementioned conflicts.

stages of mourning and I'm now on acceptance. Geocities has been

But if my sacred Geocities is already past due, what about other
sacred cows such as the CBC? With millions of Canadians posting videos
and text on the Internet, do we need the CBC?Want? Sure. But need, as
in spend a billion dollars a year? Not so sure.
Dito for Via Rail. Bus companies don't require subsidies and will get
you there just as fast. When you think about it, what is the point of
subsidised passenger rail in corridors that are served by uncongested
4 lane highways?
Illiminating Via would mean more passengers for the bus, therefore
increasing bus frequencies, making them more appealing. By the way,
bus ticket prices are regulated.
If you can cancel Geocities, time to re-examin all non-profitable
behind the time services.

High Speed Train Mania
If there were no speed limits, would you buy a Porsha, a Ferrari or a Lamborghini? You might answer "if I could afford it". Well, you can't can you? You would rather spend that money on food or medication when you retire.
So why are some people advocating high speed trains?
High speed trains are hugely expensive to build and operate. People with money fly, people without take the bus. In between there is the car. There are some places where high speed rail makes sense. New York city is an example of a place where air travel has achieved saturation at certain hours. Bigger planes may be a solution, but they also require longer separation times between landings.
However, you may have noticed that New Yorkers are going to many different places. You can't build high speed trains to all those different destinations. But taking out some planes that are flying in the Washington-Boston axis makes sense. If airports in New York become really saturated, you might even see some New Yorkers flying out of Philadelphia and Boston. The Accella train is still expensive for the federal government, but presumably people waiting on Newark's tarmac are willing to kick in some tax dollars to not hear ("there are 98 planes waiting before us").
But high speed rail means higher taxes. Unless you build a high speed line instead of an airport or instead of widening a major highway, they hardly ever make sense. And in the case of highways, encouraging people to take the bus (with tolls and higher gas taxes), is significantly cheaper. If fact, it requires no tax dollars at all for the same increase in transportation capacity.
For example, there is less than one bus per hour between Los Angeles (pop. 18 million) and San Diego (pop. 3 million). The 193 km journey will cost you $18 and you get there in 2 to 3 hours. That is 9 cents per km. The prosed high speed rail line will actually make a detour via Ontario and Riverside and will therefore take at least 1:20 . The ticket price is yet to be determined. But I'm going to guess it will be more than $18.
In the UK they have significantly lower income taxes (but slightly higher sales taxes) and they manage to offer essentially free medication and dental to all. I'm just saying.

Waking up Canadian or Québécois
Canadian on Youtube) has a clin-d'oeuil at Quebec's nation status.
Only fair, I suppose, as the Queen's picture has a cameo (probably as
an example of a foreigner who woke up Canadian despite never living
here).
Hat tip to wiselaw.blogspot.com
NBC Nightly News Takes Long Way to McGill
iTunes), they talked about Craigslist, Youtube and Twitter. They even
talked about my university town: Montreal.
Tom Costello reports that universities are largely funded by the
Canadian government, that McGill is prestigeious and that it is "a few
hours north of the American border".
Guess which subjects Costello didn't study at university.
The Canadian government gives research grants, no doubt . But much of
the university's budget comes from the government of Quebec (32%).
You would have to get seriously lost and enter Montreal during the
morning rush hour for McGill to be "a few hours drive north of the
border". Dito for the other universities mentionned: Carleton,
Queen's, UBC,Toronto.
View Larger Map**************************************
The exception is Dalhousie. That is the only university mentioned that
is a few hours drive from the US border. Maybe Costello wrote his
script about Halifax's Dalhousie but only got the budget to go to
Montreal.
Finally, McGill is Montreal's poor cousin. The province's leaders,
doctors and Nobel winners go to Université de Montréal. That truely
prestigious school is pearched between Westmount and Outremont.
Université de Montréal is so prestigious that to get in, Americans
must already have 1 year of university and be fluent in French!

Twitter is Costing me Money
Last month, pre-Twitter, I made $7.26 thanks to my blog. Not much you say? Well, based on the first half of April, I'll only make $2.50 this month! Less than half? And it get's worse, twice as many people have clicked on ads in the first half of April vs. the first half of March. So Twitter is generating more traffic to my blog, but a much less lucrative one.
This is something to think about for those of you with higher blog income. Ashton Kutcher may have a million Twitter followers, but he ain't got didly from it. Well yet anyways. I'm sure he will lead us to something lucrative for him.
By the way, in case you are wondering, the most I "earned" was US$20.26 in October 2006, which I think was the Liberal convention. Bashing whatshisname was quite popular. And to be fair to Twitter, October 2008 only netted me 77 cents...

- 06:02 @summero Yeah, probably not a good idea to admit publicly to having a bootleg version of an American movie. #
- 06:06 @majidrazvi Agreed. I do not have voice mail on my iPhone. People can email, text or call back. $120 yearly savings, plus air time. #
- 06:11 @arleigh French fries were invented by French speaking people of Belgium. It is the most plausible theory. Now I have craving. #
- 06:12 @majidrazvi Sweet. #
- 06:50 @cnnbrk How is a random murder in Rotherdam CNN worthy? #

- 04:16 Dear Moncton city council. Stop killing downtown! Moncton has too much land zoned for commercial retail. #
- 04:19 With the popularity of online commerce, shouldn't cities have less land zoned for commercial use, not more? #

I want to insert ads in my Tweets
I made $7.92 thanks to my blog last month. But blogs are so last year. Now, like Miley Cyrus (who started at the same time I did), I'm Twittering on Twitter. The thing is, I got used to being paid for my hobby. Not much, granted, but who get's paid for their hobby? Anyway, I find the 140 character limit per post is plenty. So I have some room left over for advertisements.
Any ideas on how I can insert ads into my Tweets?
