The luckiest man in the world?

The Japanese government has discovered a man who survived both atomic blasts in WW2.

He's both the luckiest and unluckiest man at the same time. I wonder if he accomplished everything he had planned to on his business trip.

Well at least we know what they stand for

"The right-wing has had a real ability to promote particular values such as self-reliance and competition," said McGrath. "We need to be more obvious about what (our) values are," she said.

So the NDP's values are utter dependence and no competition?

That sounds correct - as major supporters of the Nanny State it would follow that the NDP needs as many people as possible to be completely dependent on the government.

They will not protect you

This is becoming all too familiar.

A bully continuously assaults and threatens a boy and his family and gets no punishment. Meanwhile the victim sees that the school system, the police and the judicial system have no interest in protecting him. The only thing left do to is to defend himself and for his trouble he ends up with a punishment far harsher than anything the bully ever received.

The bully? On his second day of college he got charged with robbery and sexual assault.

But remember the victim is actually the criminal.

You are unqualified to submit a complaint

The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has decided that only the members of the offended group may submit complaints.

Our complaint against Mr. Ryan was returned to us on March 17th, stating that our complaint had no merit since we complainants were Christians and not Jews, and therefore not from the targeted group of hate.

Hmmm...interesting. So according the Ontario Tribunal, hate crimes do not occur as long as you can successfully intimidate your victims into not making complaints.

I don't understand how this works

In order to evaluate how Toronto's homeless services are serving their clients, the city is putting hundreds of fake homeless people onto the streets in order to answer a survey about those services?

Services that these decoys never use. Wow...what a flagrant and obvious way to skew the results.

I boldly predict that the outcome of the survey will indicate the need for more money, more money and...more money!!!!

Now I ain't saying she's a gold digger...

Ladies, is the recession putting a pinch on your income? Time to get a husband to fill out your income!

“The recession made me realize I’m not going to make as much money as I expected, and I’d be more stable financially if I had double income to fall back on.”

The oppressive hot dog

The hot dog...symbol of Western imperialism!

"I have a problem with hot dogs from a health point of view and from a diversity point of view," declared John Filion, who chairs the board of health.

Any normal city would simply issue a set number of permits and require periodic food safety inspections. The market would then decide if people really want street side shawarmas, tacos, chicken balls or whatever.

Ahh...but not Toronto. In order to sell non-hot dog food you must purchase a $28,000 cart, the owner must be on site 70% of the time, the menu must be pre-approved by a panel of four chefs and any changes in the menu after that must be approved by the medical officer of health.

Unfortunately only 8 people decided that this process was worth it.

So instead of having a flafel stand on every corner, these carts become indistinguishable from restaurants. There is now no difference between the single souvlaki cart and your favorite chinese place on Spadina.

Thank you Toronto from saving me from making my own decisions and judgements about the quality of street food. I don't know what I would do otherwise...
