O Canada! Our lost and forlorn land. True foreign owned. Under all the world’s command. In the last several years, large Canadian businesses such as Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and the Hudson’s Bay Company have been bought out by foreign businesses.

Sleeping bears aren’t meant to be poked
By Tyler Wolfe
When one encounters a potentially dangerous wild animal, it goes without saying the animal should be given due respect– you should not poke it with a stick or enrage it in any other fashion. With the recent re-emergence from hibernation of the Russian Bear, this is advice that much of the West, and the United… Continue reading Sleeping bears aren’t meant to be poked
Playing around with loneliness
It’s pretty unbelievable what people will do to look different from one another. With the recent release of The Dark Knight, there’s a whole legion of people donning the cracked white makeup of Heath Ledger’s Joker in an attempt to differentiate from their other, partying peers.

By Ryan Pike
As late as the early part of the 20th century, the world was dominated by states. States shaped laws. States shaped behaviours. States shaped economies.

These profiles are usually posted at the request of family members, who aim to present their children in the… Continue reading Far beyond a bleached blonde
Threesomes: part deux
The last time we got together I wrote more for male readers and discussed the two women, one man combination of threesomes. Now I would like to help out the women and look at another variation of this three person sexual escapade. This brings us to the two men, one woman combination and, for lengths… Continue reading Threesomes: part deux
Fall flicks hit the silver screen
The early fall season is sort of a thankless time for movies, being wedged in between summer blockbuster season and the award-worthy movie season in December. Like January, early fall is the time when a lot of studio afterthoughts are put out, and a time where low-quality fare might actually get some notice and make… Continue reading Fall flicks hit the silver screen
