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.

ps. I beat Stephen Harper. I actually beat Stephen Harper.
Dominion Interview – Erin Empey, guitar hero of Canada's best living punk band, The Rebel Spell, moonlights as a journalist. Here, in the soon-to-be prestigious Dominion magazine, she asks Chris such penetrating questions as "when are you playing Vancouver?". Wait, there's more (although i just noticed that my comments about Afghanistan, The Vancouver Olympics and the Stephen Lewis Foundation got left on the cutting room floor. is there no justice?! will i never be heard?!?). Watch for a potential Propagandhi/ Rebel Spell onslaught in Western Canada this fall. (06/12/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)

When the credits finally… – What do Oprah Winfrey, Anthony Robbins and Chris Hannah all have in common? No, it's not that we're all multi-millionaires. Close, though. To find out you'll have to watch the documentary Food Matters, a film by James Coluquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch, nutritionists turned filmmakers. It's a very interesting look into human health and our food/ medical systems. Keep a keen eye on those credits if you wanna have a good laugh! (04/08/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)
