Bob Rae’s speech to the ‘Economic Club of Canada’: The theme of my speech is simple and direct – much public policy debate seems to assume that Canada can take its prosperity for granted. Politicians squabble about how to divide up the cake. The truth is that you need to bake a cake first. The Read More…

Bob Rae’s economic speech: We can’t take prosperity for granted: leadership in turbulent times

Pissed on by Angels ( This is not a biker story!)
November 6, 2011
Today I find myself able to really relax for the first time in almost a year. I did nothing today; the first Sunday I’ve had off in almost a year. I think I am where I am supposed to be. Sometimes an artist is driven by a force, a compulsion, an irresistible need to create Read More…
What You don’t know can hurt you… Part 1
November 4, 2011
Tammy contacted us and asked if we would be interested in trying something new, a story in several parts. We think it’s a great idea, and if anyone else wants to try a “serial story” we’d love to see it. Many of us have ghosts in our closet, monsters under our bed or shadows that Read More…

How to write a Fantasy/Horror Story by Kelley Armstrong
October 25, 2011
You are going to see more focus on fiction here in the future. Short stories can be an important step in getting your first novel finished, but there are very few places to get short fiction published. There is going to be a separate discussion area for writer’s forums. Ten years ago, when I started my first Read More…
Iconographer Christopher Van Donkelaar: “Unorthdox” Artist makes own paint
October 21, 2011
You may not think a handful of dirt could ever be useful. However, to a local painter, this is a world of possibility. Iconographer Christopher Van Donkelaar appeared Thursday, Sept. 22 at the Cambridge Centre for the Arts, providing the audience with an in depth look into his fascinating method of painting. At first glance, Read More…
Casting Spells in Hespeler
October 20, 2011
Halloween may be a fun time to get dressed up, watch scary movies, eat candy and party for the general public, but that’s not what it means to those who practice Witchcraft and/or are Wiccans. Halloween is much more personal for a Wiccan/Witch. “Some Wiccans or Witches celebrate the ancestors, some of them celebrate the Read More…
In A Land Far Far Away
October 20, 2011
On a day long ago, in a land far away a young girl moved to the big, bad village of Hespeler. Her mom had brought her to Ontario to get her and her brother away from their father. This young girl, who was about to turn twelve years old, did not want to move away Read More…
Crocs
October 17, 2011
You should be put on a spit and char broiled if you wear Crocs…perhaps the ugliest footwear thrust upon us by flighty fashion gurus. Now, I’m willing to make exceptions for children…who look cute in them…but for anyone over fourteen, the wearing of such profanely ugly footwear should be tormented forever by having their butts Read More…
War of The Words
October 4, 2011
As we’re getting down to the wire here I thought i’d put something together. Smile people, it’s a cartoon, do not take it seriously. (Other than the message it’s supposed to convey. Vote!)
Why Kathryn McGarry is the best candidate for Cambridge
October 4, 2011
I wrote this two weeks ago and, if anything, the polls are tighter now than they were then. Rather than repeat myself on every single post it’s easier just to bring this back up. Once again people, we are looking at a minority government, let’s pick the person who will do something for Cambridge. I Read More…
We are not a Liberal, Conservative or NDP site. We are a Cambridge site.
September 28, 2011
We find ourselves making this statement time and time again. With the number of new readers finding us because of the election I’m going to do it once more, and hopefully we won’t have to do it again for awhile. The owners of the site, myself and Jimm Hillis, are political opposites, even with our choices Read More…
The Address of The Mayor in The States. (Or something like that)
September 26, 2011
This is what I was working on when the site crashed from too many people this week. I finally got a chance to finish it. I’ll be glad when this election is over. Although I am known for writing about local politics it’s a cross I bear grudgingly. I hate it, but people read me. Read More…
Just Another Sneaky Dalton Tax
September 21, 2011
Just one more reason to oust the Liberal government on Oct 6. It never stops. Soon you are going to have to pay for the privilege of having it forced on you, plus, you guessed it, you are going to have to pay HST on the extra fee. But not until next year – not Read More…
How to boil a frog
September 19, 2011
Submitted by Jennifer Davidson (I thought I’d better clarify that in case anyone thought I was after the separatists again) We had a great time yesterday at our potluck and movie event. Thanks to everyone who joined us, and especially to Mark for hosting us, and Doug for sticking around and closing up after us. Wondering what Read More…
Liberals Accuse Leone of Cheating
September 16, 2011
Cambridge – Anyone who has ever wondered how desperate local Progressive Conservative candidate Rob Leone is to win needn’t look further than the attached photo. The Leone campaign was already in major damage control for avoiding several debates in Cambridge, but appears to have crossed a line here. Today a keen passer-by on Eagle Read More…
The Bob Walk
August 30, 2011
My wife Brenda and best friend Pearl started walking in their middle years to try to control their weight gain, which was a side effect of aging in most women. They felt great about their nightly walks so it was logically a matter of time until they forced their dopey husbands Bob and me to Read More…
