In what I allege to be a complete and utter mockery of the democratic process, The Beaver magazine has proclaimed former Canadian Prime Minister (and current dead guy) Pierre Elliot Trudeauthe Worst Canadian In History. They contend that Trudeau narrowly edged me out by a few hundred votes. Excuse my French, but…
AS IF.
It is now apparent that a concerted and forceful program of fraud and abuse was enacted with either the leadership or cooperation of the Beaver Editorial Staff.
As a concerned citizen, a poor sport and of course as the true worst Canadian, I ask that you do everything diplomatically possible to have Beaver Magazine arrange for an honest RECOUNT in the presence of international observers.
Thank you.

Kids From 95-Live From 95 – Here's a video of some kids from NEEDS CENTRE, where I used to work and still volunteer, and 95 Ellen Street/ IRCOM here in Winnipeg. They're telling it like it they see it! They all came here to Winnipeg as refugees within the last couple years. It's true what they say in the song, they've worked hard to be where they are. These kids are awesome! I feel proud of these little dudes.
It's nice to listen to music that means something to the musician.
