God Save the Bloody Queen!
April 30, 2011
While many of you are still either rapt in glee or extreme angst about the possibility of Jack for PM, I for one am not. I know, I know, there’s the big story of Jack ‘maybe’ receiving a happy or may I say joyous ending at a local massage parlour years ago but I for [...]

Jack Layton for Prime Minister?
April 26, 2011
It has been strangely quiet here today. What happened to “The Election About Nothing?” Does anyone still think Jack Layton is too sick too run? I have been sitting here sucking it up while you conservatives have been crowing up a storm, yet today I’m not hearing a peep. If Jack’s P.M., that would leave [...]
Jim Hagarty on “The Layton Sensation.”
April 26, 2011
I have exposed the pimple and other ugliness on the slim butt of our next P.M. ! Many people see the ‘surging’ Jack Layton as some kind of saint….as someone who knows and feels our pain…not exactly ‘Joe the Plumber’ but possibly as ‘Jack the Builder’… not of cathedrals but architect of a party eager [...]

“If you are a regular visitor here to The Citizen you’ll know there have been some major changes going on, and there are more to come. When we started this little adventure last year James and I knew that social media was here to stay. We just had to determine first of all, whether our [...]
Dr. Google is a quack!
April 25, 2011
It seems more often than not that pet owners come in with a self-diagnosis on their pets. “Doc, I read on the internet about blah blah blah and I think my dog has blah blah blah”. Not that long ago, I had a dog owner come in convinced his dog had Hypothyroidism because it was [...]

Get some metal with your eggs!

So it’s good Friday. The stores are all closed, and most restaraunts and bars. What’s a poor heathen to do? Well you can sit at home and cry in your milk, or you can go out and see three of the most kick-ass bands the Village of Cambridge has to offer. LiFT, Black Iron Priest [...]

April 22, 2011
If you have already made up your mind which candidate you are voting for you can beat the rush and vote this weekend.

We have stun guns
April 21, 2011
Canadians have always had a problem distinguishing ourselves from Americans. A quote that’s often used to demonstrate our differences came from raconteur and historian Pierre Berton. He said “a Canadian is someone who can make love in a canoe.” The image is bold but somewhat dated, after all, when was the last time you played [...]
