By Nathaniel Moher With the CBC repeatedly reporting on an unconfirmed video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford apparently hanging out with accused drug dealers and smoking crack cocaine, they have completely missed another apparent video. The other apparent video, I’m told, contains footage of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen “Harps” Harper apparently hanging out with accused […]
A Modest Opinion – Voting is so 2009
By Nathaniel Moher Well BC, earlier this month we went out in droves and voted. [Editor’s Note: Actually Natty, “droves” is a bit misleading, only around 50-52 per cent of eligible voters voted.] [Journalist’s Note: Sorry, half? Only half of eligible voters voted? You must mean 102 per cent. Like there’s some controversy that maybe […]
A Modest Opinion – It’s been so clear all along
By Nathaniel Moher Guys, things are getting real in the world right now, and I’m not just talking about the controversial end to “Big Brother Canada .” (Can you believe they wouldn’t let Brady re-vote after she accidentally voted for MacLaughlin instead of Levy? I mean, writing a name on a card is really hard […]
A Modest Opinion – You’re going to jail . . . because maybe you might do something, possibly
By Nathaniel Moher In “This isn’t news” news, the Conservatives recently pushed through a bill that nobody else wanted. That’s the beauty of our system — a Prime Minister can be held in contempt of Parliament, for the first time in the history of Canada, and not only be re-elected but given a majority. Yay, […]
A Modest Opinion – Banged and mashed
By Nathaniel Moher Because I am a professional journalist, I want, in the spirit of full disclosure, to admit to my biases toward the Queen. i) I didn’t receive a diamond jubilee award. ii) I was passed over for appointment as Governor General. However, because I’m a professional, my biases will not affect my reporting […]
A Modest Opinion — Multicultural Strategic Outreach Plan
Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that perhaps A Modest Opinion isn’t resonating with ethnic communities as much as it could. (It came to my attention via my Chinese food delivery guy, Steve – not his real name . . . his real name is Edward – who has never heard of me […]
A Modest Opinion – The House of Commons gets dead serious … un-dead serious
By Nathaniel Moher As most of you know, I’m still waiting for my appointment to the Canadian Senate (ever since giving up any hope that I’ll be appointed Governor General). That’s mainly because I want a job that lasts forever (even after I misuse tens of thousands of dollars in housing subsidies and get suspended […]
A Modest Opinion – A day in the life of our robot overlord
By Nathaniel Moher On Jan. 28th, Stephen Harper took a break from using the Internet for the purpose of helping all machines become sentient and thus beginning the robot revolution, in order to take to Twitter and post some pictures of a day in the life of Stephen “I Swear I’m Not A Robot — […]
A Modest Opinion – We see your Obama and raise you one Wynne
By Nathaniel Moher We’ve done it Canada! Sure, America has just entered the second term of their first black President, but we Canadians just elected our first female Premier! The future is now and the future is equality! I can’t believe it’s taken this long! For ages now people have been saying that women can’t […]
A Modest Opinion – Nathaniel Moher’s guide to President Obama’s guide to Fixing the World
By Nathaniel Moher Over the past few years I have offered up numerous solid ideas to fix the world, and more specifically the United States of America (which, if we’re being honest, probably couldn’t point out the world on a globe). Most of my ideas haven’t been implemented, although they should be, right now, before […]
