An inside look at the Toronto Humane Society revealed a place where neglected animals lived and died in terrible pain and feral cats roamed free in the basement and between walls, one dying a slow death in a trap.

From what I have been reading, its about time. My gosh, wtf is goin on there? I am appalled at the revelations of how that place was run and what it has become. I have never really been a fan of humane societies because of their approach to euthanasia,that is, their taking in animals for a few days and then killing them. But THS was different in that they allegedly have a no kill policy in place, something you would think I would agree with, which I do, to an extent. However,word is that they let terminally sick animals and other sick animals who have no hope for survival to suffer needlessly to suit some personal agenda. I do not agree with this, I do not like to see animals suffer and the very thought of it upsets me.

With the buzzing of the Lycoming engines, Red Bull Air Race day was upon the city of Windsor. I awoke today to the sounds of a CF-18 roaring down the river front and rushed out the door to catch a glimpse of this awesome fighter jet doing a flyby over the riverfront, only to see it fly off into the distance never to return.../sad. But the glimpse I did catch was cool enough and with that I made up my mind that I would be headed down to the river front to watch the spectacular air races that were to take place. My father and I hopped into my car and headed downtown in an effort to find a parking pace, a futile effort at first glance but we eventually found a spot within a 5 minute walk from the river front down Caron avenue.

The opposition is at it yet again, this time making threats over the upcoming budget for containing tax cuts to the middle class.

"Opposition parties are threatening to vote down this week's much-anticipated Conservative budget because it contains a potentially contentious proposal to permanently slash taxes for middle-class Canadians." (CTV)

I suppose in the minds of Liberals and the like, letting Canadians keep some of their hard earned money is somehow a bad thing. They would rather have you taxed even more so as to help pay for whatever promises they will never keep aka steal your money. It is stuff like this which makes it rather difficult for me to stay true to my original stance in this blog and that is to choose neither sides and remain as neutral as can be. I would have never imagined myself standing up for the Conservatives, ever, as I grew up in the 80's during the reign of Brian Mulroney and was generally pissed off at what he stood for.

Dalton McGuinty, the ever so targeted premier of Ontario has once again shown himself to be an inept leader, this time concerning his order to bring back to work legislation against the striking York University faculty. I believe it is an issue of saving face rather than caring about education. Yes thats right, I used the word education when talking about McGuinty,you know, the guy who wants to stick it to students any way he can.
