Rants
Looking at pure airline stats
So again I have seen a few people on Facebook bitching about Air Canada and their “horrible” service. Every time I see one of these people I wonder what happened. I’ve been flying with AC for years and have had very few issues with them. I decided to do some digging of my own and … Continue reading

If you want to understand more about what it’s like to be at the edge, I suggest you read this entire story despite it’s length. It really does tell a unique point of view about suicide.

Electronics are not Evil; Parents who are Lazy Are
This image came up on Facebook today and I finally had enough. I’m writing here to rant on people who keep posting this crap. Electronics are not evil. Computers and the internet are not horrible things. People said the same thing 50 years ago about us watching TV. It was so bad and was going … Continue reading
A Plea to Harmony Gold
If you’re not a fan of Robotech, or don’t know anything about it, skip this post. It won’t hold much meaning for you. Please stop. Seriously. Please stop now and put your energy into something that fans actually want. We don’t want yet another re-issue of the soundtrack. We don’t want another re-issue of the … Continue reading
Not Guns. Not Mental Health. It’s Fear.
I have a tendency to keep some of the more controversial topics off my blog because I really don’t feel like getting into a debate with trolls on the internet who insist that they know everything.

My Bilingualism Comment From Facebook
A friend of mine posted something on Facebook about how she wasn’t going to enroll her kids in French immersion as she felt it was a bad idea for her kids. It led to a long thread of comments debating the value of French here in NB. For me, I agreed completely with her take … Continue reading
Suicide Is Not About Everyone Else
There’s an article floating around Facebook right now about suicide. “10 Things You Should Know Before You Kill Yourself”. Read it here. In fact, I read it twice and both times, it made me angry. I see lots of people floating the article around and talking about how it’s such a good article because it … Continue reading
Training Those Who Shouldn’t Be Trained
So, I know some people ask me what it is I do and I always reply that I’m a “Technical Training Consultant”. I usually then add that I train IT or programmers technical aspects of software for law firms. I usually don’t get into much more detail than that because honestly, most people don’t … Continue reading
It’s All About Moderation
Have you ever found yourself reading something on Facebook, then you go to write a comment, get most of it written out, and then you delete what you wrote and don’t bother commenting? I do this all the time and I usually walk away from the comment for the simple fact that I don’t want … Continue reading
