Twitticized!
After tapping out a few messages to my mutual follower, @GuruJeremy on Twitter, and engaging in an exchange with "Not Steve Harper" (@PMOHarper), I was inexplicably halted in my tracks by the Twitter Police!
Toxic Tweeting. I was just imagining how some personalities might consider me something of a proverbial loaded dice. All I did was introduce a link to a heavy metal video I was enthralled by at the age of ten. Whatever. See for yourself!

I'm not about to invest too much time pontificating about the unsettling developments surrounding the whole Jiam Goomeshi thing, apart from pointing out that I never really cared for his interview style.
Instead, I'll just post this little juxtaposition that occurred to me.

Alberta's Alberta
Thanks for stopping in!
Last night, my home province of Alberta concluded a by-election that was called by our new provincially un-elected Premier, Jim Prentice.
After stepping down, his embattled predecessor, Premier Alison Redford, triggered a leadership race within the Progressive Conservative Party (PC) of Alberta, which Mr. Prentice won to become the official Premier of Alberta, although not necessarily a Premier of the people of Alberta. Something yet to be determined in the next provincial election.
Opposition leaders were frothing-at-the-mouth - determined to win seats, but alas, their efforts were all but in vain. They held public debates. They knocked on doors. They put up signs, They engaged constituents on Twitter.
I even pointed-out on Twitter that public debates are a stupid waste of time in response to opposition forces trying to score points over the PC no-shows after these forums were held. Mr. Mandel and Mr. Prentice knew better than to prostrate themselves at the temple of the granola munchers. Yes folks, despite their outright defiance when it came to the opposition parties' expectations of having them willfully attend these public debates, they won anyway! I love it!
In my opinion, the constituents of the ridings up for grabs made the right choice. Long live the Alberta PC dynasty!
Here's a little provincial party and platform I invented last night for fun:
