Voter turnout in 2008 was lowest in Canadian History

I know you are really smart because you are here reading this. If you are in Canada you are even awesomer and today you have an election. You get to have a say in what happens in your country, our country.

I don’t care who you vote for but please, PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE.  It’s so important. I rounded up a few things from the internet and I hope they inspire you to go to your polling station and PUT AN X IN A BOX.

  • There is much at stake in this election. Yet the biggest decision for many eligible voters is not whom to choose, but choosing to vote at all. …read more.

“stop being such a hipster and go to the polls and vote”

These videos were made by KIDS in highschool. They are voting. You know you are legally allowed to leave work & vote.

I found out some info about my riding & canditates from Project Democracy. You can find your info there too. I live in the downtown hipster riding. Imagine all of us voted? Our votes make a difference dudes.


I read a good article about the ongoing election tweeting debate on canada.com “You can’t stop the tweeting folks“.

Maybe we will change a law tomorrow?

  • Do they really think they can put a lid on the information that is being released on the Internet on election day while efforts by other governments to control information in their repressive regimes are proving to be so ineffective? It’s as fruitless as trying to hold your ground while a massive tsunami rushes towards you. If Elections Canada is truly serious about the necessity of concealing election results while some polls are still open, the only way to accomplish it is to keep all the results from across the country under wraps until the last poll closes in B.C. …read more.

A few words from Rick Mercer:

  • “So please, if you are between the ages of 18 and 25 and you wanna scare the hell out of the people ruling this country, this time around do the unexpected. Take 20 minutes out of your day and do what young people all over the world are dying to do: VOTE.”

I posted heaps about Obama before he won. I really like him, his character, the way he delivers a message. Watching him speak just now brought that back. Love that swagger.

sometimes i don’t feel like it #3

I’m immersed in technology from the moment I wake up to when I go to bed.  I often wonder what it’s like to wake up and not check the internet.

Blogging about your own life is a wierd and wonderful thing but sometimes I don’t feel like it.  This isn’t a new feeling. I didn’t feel like it Jan. 13, 2011, Oct. 6, 2010,  Aug. 2, 2010, Jan. 30, 2010. Everyone has days they don’t fee like clocking in at the office. Remember going on vacation and being out of touch and not knowing what is going on at school or around the water cooler? That doesn’t happen anymore.

I’m addicted to connecting, multitasking, multiplatform updates. When I  break I escape to tumblr. Well, that’s not really a break from the inernet but it’s really nice 🙂

i forgot to tell you something.

She was delivered this last night.  What should I name her? Hawaii is so secretive, black market baby trade, he won’t tell me where he got it. I feel very Victoria Newman.  (if you watch the Y&R that is pretty funny).   I was wondering where you can get one of these things in recently and turns out you can buy one from the evian shop (or harass Hawaii for the Toronto location).

Super nice out today. Hitting the streets w/ Keri this arvo. Stoked to see all the people here for UFC. They have a certain walk many of them. Muscles are fun to look at. Not my type at all though. Going to Yuk Yuks w/ Raymi tonight then Jet Cooper’s Bday at The Ossington. Will try to avoid muscley-UFCing parties  😉

notable’s chilean wine tasting @ the spoke club

Hey girl wha you doin?

Thanks for having me & friends Julian. Looking forward to the launch of Notable.ca.

I’m Jon Crowley. Nuff said.

Food was good too. Lamb, ILU.

Mario, you need to shoot me one of these days. Sooner than later!

Our names are Reggie – Reggie & Reggie.

You are SUCH a foodie JO!

Babe watch: Pam, Karly, Keri

This was my fav wine of the night:

This was second. A friend intro’d me to this a couple years back.

This girl was prize winner. I think that guy is my neighbour.

Wine tasting was great but I reckon I’ve got a two glass limit. I know drinking is different than tasting but this was more of a drinking/tasting. I used to love wine, could polish off a bottle easy. It gives me a hurting in my chest, like acid reflux when I have to much now. Especially the next day. Urgh. Am I getting old? My birthday is next weekend. I have planned nothing. Ahhh.

Ok have a wonderful day! It’s lovely out there.

marilyn denis royal wedding show at CTV

This lady was my fav part.  So happy, waving flag. Her smiling right at me.

It was a pretty big deal. (For some people!)

This is an amazing shot – look at him in action. Who is he?

I wanted to take these home.

Nice accessory Winston. Very pretty.

The Queen. This guy is from a show right?

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Her dress was very pretty.

Young people tweeting.

This was my breakfast. Not ALL of it, two cupcakes, 1 cookie. I was starving.

There she is.

I didn’t stay for the reception after. I had enough of the wedding by the time this was over!

bike season, babe season, bixi toronto

Noticed this big guy the other evening. Recognized him from Montreal. He is BIXI.


BIXI: Toronto’s public bike system. It’s the bike that’s really an alternative means of urban transport. Accessible to everyone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You reckon it will be a hit? Biking is pretty rad and this city if full of people pushing pedals in the streets. I tihnk it’s cool. You have to give a deposit on your CC $250 and there are several plans available. I’m interested to try it out & see the bikes when they arrive.

Ate a box of this last night with Keri. Omg so good.

In other news of the day, can you guess who this is? No really, try and guess. Then click/see. I have this kinda wierd thing for him. We’ve never met. He used to creep me out but this gives me a whole different feeling.
