Apparently, Mr. Munk's money isn't good enough for some U of T students. As a first year student was quoted in the article as saying: “We don’t want Munk’s money affiliated with the university and we fear it could push a right-wing agenda and shut down academic freedom,” warned first-year student Juan Carlos Jimenez of the Anti-Corporatization Working Group, a subgroup of the U of T General Assembly coalition.
But a left-wing agenda is OK? I bet they'd have a ticker tape parade if that money had come from Jack Leyton, or someone of that ilk.
Wow... in an era where any kind of money for funding is at a premium, I can't understand why this would be protested. Especially considering that Mr. Munk came from nothing and as the article says "It is therefore little wonder that Dr. Munk is a firm believer in the vital importance of higher education, and has sustained a lifelong passion for the study of international relations.” These students need to get their heads out of their collective asses. The era of universities being totally publicly funded is OVER. They should be grateful that someone like Mr. Munk would rather give his money to them rather than spend it. Get with the program and join the real world. When I was in university, I was appalled by the kinds of notions these students have. The lefties hated my at my university. I constantly was the other voice in Trent's student newspaper. I even got an entire spread of letters against me in one issue. WOOT! I had friends in my classes congratulate me for that one!
Puritanism wins... for now

Well, Ms. Ardente has been fired from her position at a Quebec high school. The Puritans have won this round. This woman had been a good employee for nine years, and even offered to end her off-work activities to keep her job. She is going to appeal their ruling.
Bottom line here for me is what she was doing outside of her job was her own business and was not illegal. The school board (or any employer) has no right to dictate how she should live her life outside of her working hours with them.
I hope she wins her appeal and sues their asses off for wrongful dismissal!

Just what we need... another election... and puritanism in Quebec and updates...
Well... here we are again. Canada faces its fourth election in seven years. And most voters in Canada DO NOT want it.
Ignatieff, Leyton and Duceppe are a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first ones against the wall when the revolution comes!
For those not in the know, the average election in Canada costs the taxpayer over $300 million! Over a billion dollars has been spent on election in the last seven years. It is ridiculous! And the Liberals are trailing the Conservatives by 20 points in the polls... it would take a miracle of almost biblical proportions for them to get past the Conservatives.
The most likely outcome is that we will come out in the same position as before and will have spent that money for nothing! I'm hoping that the hubris of Misters Ignatieff (especially) et al. will come back and bite them in their collective asses and reward Mr. Harper with a majority government!
Puritanism in Quebec
I heard about this on Friday on my way to work. Apparently a 14-year old student at a high school in Quebec approached a school secretary for an autograph. He had seen her in a porn film, Serial Abusers 2, and she appeared under the screen name of Samantha Ardente. She refused and asked the student to keep it quiet. What does he do? Creates a fake Facebook account in her stage name and basically the whole school found out. She is currently suspended from her job, pending investigation by her employer.
And what exactly is the problem with this? She is making legal porn films in her off hours and it is her right to do so. Once again, the ugly head of puritanism has reared its head. It is a very typical North American attitude. Violence and bad language are OK, but when it comes to sex... OH MY GOD! EVIL! FORBIDDEN!
Gimme a frakking break! We don't live in the 16th Century anymore. People should be free to do what they like sexually, as long as it isn't hurting anyone (unless of course its consensual), or uses children in any way shape or form. Who are we to tell Ms. Ardente how she should live her life outside of her job? If she wants to make extra money having sex on film, so be it! If you are not interested in porn, then don't watch it. But don't tell the rest of us what we should or should not watch or do in our spare time! I hope she is vindicated and can thumb her nose at the do-gooders.
Earth Hour Update
Interesting note on Earth Hour in Toronto. Power usage in Toronto only dropped by 5% on Saturday night. It is a five percent drop from last year, when power consumption dropped 10%. Personally, I'm not surprised.
