Banning Voice On Planes is Silly

Airlines were more than happy to offer us cell phone service at $2.95 a minute but are now banning free voice over IP because it is anti social. Crazy.

1. Airplanes are loud. A person on a phone could disturb one or two people, maximum.

2. In flight entertainment. You can listen to music, watch movies... If you don't have ear phones on, expect to hear people. Heaven forbid you over hear one side of a conversation!

This craziness isn't brought on by technology, it is brought on by people use to being alone in their car. Now they are next to people... talking! 

Kiss and Tell: Comedy relief

Si vous votez Bloc, Conservateur ou Liberal, d'autres soldats Canadiens vont mourir

Pensez au nombre de soldats canadiens qui peuvent mourir d'ici 2011, date à laquelle Harper promet de quiter l'Afghanistan, qu'on aye gagné ou non. 2011 c'est moins pire que l'éternité. Mais c'est quand même 3 ans!

En 3 ans, plusieurs autres soldats Canadiens vont mourir. Pensez-y.

Et un vote pour le Bloc, c'est un vote pour maintenir le parti conservateur au pouvoir...

Les Libéraux promettent de quiter l'Afghanistan bientôt. Pas tout de suite. Bientôt.

Seul le NPD fera en sorte que les soldats Canadiens quittent immédiatement l'Afghanistan. Je suis en favour d'attraper Osama Ben Laden. Mais ce n'est pas la mission en Afghanistan.

Oui, le Canada fait parti de l'Otan. Mais aucun des terroristes qui on attaqué les États-Unis provenaient de l'Afghanistan. Aucun!

Si la mission est d'établir la démocratie. Est-ce qu'on pourrait commencer par des petits pays comme Monaco ou le Leicheinstein?

Is the NDP Anti American?

Call me paranoid, but isn't that a "subliminal" american flag in back of those New York City style buildings when the lady says "corporate tax cuts". Hat tip to Splato.

I'm voting NDP. They aren't perfect, but they are way better than the alternative. Still, I think the NDP's marketing department deserves some waterboarding. After all, Americans are (in many cases, literally) our neighboors.



The French version is much better in my opinion. No subliminal here. It is anti-Bush and anti-Harper. No American flags in this one.

Quebec TV Show Laghs at Jack Layton's French

Infoman, the French language equivalent to the Rick Mercer Report on Radio Canada, pointed out the obvious and made fun of Jack Layton's French Thursday. It is really bad. Seriously, practice man! It isn't just bad ad lib like Dion's English. It is bad when read!

 

Hopefully, this will be Layton's last election.

 

Infoman also made fun of Young Liberals in Ottawa who apparently don't understand a single word of French. The show laughed at the Bloc's much ado about a bus. The Green Party's Elizabeth May wasn't made fun of and was even allowed to ridicule Harper driving accross the street to the Governor General's office.

 

If the NDP has any hope in this election in French Canada, it has to hide Layton and advertise "end the war now" ad nauseum.

 

The Téléjournal on Radio-Canada presented Jack Layton promising to inject funds into manufacturing (ie, Ontario) and mentioned the NDP's million dollar Quebec advertising budget against the war. If I remember the quote "because of Mulclair, the NDP seem to think they can do well in Quebec, pause for laghter, and are spending ONE MILLION DOLLARS in advertising in Quebec."

 

In short, Thursday was a bad day for the NDP in Quebec. On the other hand, they were mentioned on two of the most watched shows that night...
