Dork. For those of you not keeping score Paul Martin is, for all intents and purposes, the next Prime Minister of Canada in waiting. (It remains to be seen whether Ti Jean (that's Prime Minister Poutine for all you Americans out there) manages to shit-can his nemesis' run for the leadership of the Liberal Party (read:Ontario) between now and his supposed departure from politics.) Mr. Martin is perhaps best known for butchering federal spending on health care transfers to the provinces. He is less well-known for also slashing proposed federal funding for bringing high speed Internet access to rural Canada; a program that would have said so much more than a spattering of pithy comments from the campaign trail. So you've got a weblog, Paul. Big fucking deal: talk minus action equals zero. via montreal cityAfter all, it's not like I can pretend to be the kind of guy that spends a lot of time surfing the web. To be honest, until a few weeks ago, I didn't even know what the hell a blog was - I joked that I thought it was something that might climb out of a swamp.
