I got a raise!

Posted on by

Well, theoretically I did. If you know me at all you know that for me, money generally exists on the theoretical plane rather than the material one.

In any case, I went from this:


My blog is worth $57,583.08.
How much is your blog worth?

to this:


My blog is worth $90,326.40.
How much is your blog worth?

Now, if I just knew a bank that would give me a loan against equity…

international boundaries

two solitudes 

Us Canuckistanis like to think of ourselves as unprejudiced people. This is, after all, the country to which 27,000 Americans fled before slavery was finally outlawed (1898 in New Jersey, fun fact!) in the United States. This is a country born of many cultures, a country in which the Aboriginal Peoples constitute probably the third most powerful political force (fourth if you count graft). A country with two official languages, a country where the Multiculturalism portfolio is one of the most powerful and most coveted on Parliament Hill.

So when we heard of a racist assault on a burqa-clad pedestrian, we were, naturally and as one, outraged. The loathesome bigot and all his descendants for ten generations were cursed by a for-once-united British Columbia.

Of course I put my own two cents adjusted for inflation in:

“Got to be an American!” I said.
