Globe and Mail: In search of higher-fat butter

Why it’s so hard to get good butter here.

Well, that was educational. I had no idea what we were missing out on. Who knew we had such prohibitive butter laws in Canada?

SRSLY. I wanted to make a cream sauce tonight for dinner but then when I was in the aisle all I could get was a cream-milk blend held together with carrageenan gum. If I’m going to start using that I might as well just buy the whole deal in a jar ready-made.

Canadian groceries suck.

So, Canada’s dissolution of Parliament this morning was so much more like Star Wars than we’d care to admit.

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper basically used the Emperor’s speech upon asking the Governor General to dissolve parliament.

Amazing.

You, like us, have no doubt seen the federal career ads where, written in invisible ink, are the words, “white men need not apply”.
Yes, Toronto Sun, I’ve totally seen this invisible thing. Wait, no I haven’t.
i feel like the day this thing is over and that disgusting law is no longer in effect everyone should go downtown and smash a window. just on principle. because that’s the perspective that’s been lost here. the “worst” thing that’s ever happened at a protest of one of these things (outside of protesters being shot and killed by the government) is a couple of assholes break a window. that’s what all this fuss and police state are about. protecting one window, but not knowing which window to protect. so they suspend our rights as citizens. and yeah, it’s been done before…when members of parliament were being systematically kidnapped and murdered! again: perspective

On the other hand, it’s consistent with the Speaker’s ruling that MPs, under certain circumstances, have a right to look at documentation in this area.

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson

Certain circumstances my ass. This is such a ridiculous cave-in by the Liberals.

So are they banning them or not?

peaceandorder:

Just days after the Commons voted to ban them, Peter Kent’s taxpayer-funded attack pamphlet on Michael Ignatieff’s leadership landed in mailboxes in a Liberal-held riding in western Quebec last Friday – hundreds of kilometers away from his Thornhill, Ont. riding.
