LiliAna Rose: There’s something special going on here.
July 25th, 2010Check out LiliAna Rose, a young folksy youtube phenomenon. There’s a certain special quality to her style, her voice and her delivery. There’s something quite refreshingly authentic about both herself and her music. She’s definitely not your overdone, teenie starlet, like so many pop acts these days. Her first release, Postage Stamp, was a short and sweet number of raw yet appropriately folksy, popsy music. Definitely check her out if you’re a fan of plain good old passionate singing, song writing and honest delivery. Her originals section on her youtube page is a treasure trove for decided fans, as well.
For your instant gratification pleasure, Rose’s original Reach Out is a surprising delight. This is much more produced than her regular fare (even on her cd release) but this song is worth the listen for her performance.
GOG.com – Just because they’re awesome.

Impressive, strong language on the G20, LeDrew!
June 27th, 2010Stephen LeDrew just came out with some very strong language against the government and the police in the wake of the Toronto G20. I never had much respect for LeDrew as he’s a bow-tie wearing lawyer but I have to say he’s gone up a notch in my books for speaking the truth about the events late Sun Jun 27 10. Keep that up, LeDrew!
Kudos to CP24 and CTV for G20 Coverage. A big thumbs down to CBC – where were you??
June 27th, 2010Big kudos to the indepth, on the spot, largely unbiased coverage I’ve been seeing from CP24 and CTV. Although I have to say I was disappointed in Ann Rohmer’s reporting which seemed to over-sympathize with authories. And a big thumbs down to CBC News Network and CBC Radio 1: Where in the world were you??
G20 Toronto is lasting and irreparable damage to Toronto and Police Reputation
June 27th, 2010I’ve been watching the G20 Toronto coverage on CP24 and CBC News Network since yesterday and this is a no-win situation for Toronto, its police, for Ontario, for Canada, and for Harper.
The Toronto and Ontario Police, who will be most closely identified with the G20 because of the location, will suffer lasting and irreparable damage to their reputation because of their actions during the summit.
The distrust and disrespect engendered towards Toronto and its police force by their actions of this summit weekend are very unfortunate.
I certainly hope this comes up in the commons by MPs and MPPs and I hope the ruling parties get roasted for it.
Taking Liberties
June 27th, 2010One of the things that happens, during events at which protests will take place, such as the G20 in Toronto, is the designation of protest or “speech” areas. What seems to happen is that any non-peaceful action turns into an excuse to take away the freedom to assemble. Take Queen’s Park, for example, on Sat Jun 26 10…
Queen’s Park houses parliamentary buildings and was designated as an assembly/speech area. When protests elsewhere in the city got ugly, in places not necessarily designated as such, the authorities didn’t move to quell unrest in those places first. Instead, they cleared out the actual designated protest areas.
What good is the right to public assembly for protest if the authorities can take that right away on their whim?
