Now that the hangovers are all done (or, if you’re like me you don’t get hungover . . . because you just keep on drinking), it’s time to see what 2013 has in store for us. So, without further ado (I can feel the soberness creeping up), let’s get on to my Fourth Annual Year […]
Modest Opinion
A Modest Opinion — Obama and the Robo-apocalypse
By Nathaniel Moher Well, we went and did it. Or rather, the Americans did. (You wouldn’t know it if you were to speak to any Canadians, but apparently we don’t actually have a say in the American election.) That’s right, America re-elected President Obama in stunning numbers. (Well, stunning numbers for America — where just […]
A Modest Opinion — I Demand to See Nate Silver’s Birth Certificate
By Nathaniel Moher Listen, I never thought I would be agreeing with Donald Trump about anything (except for picking Arsenio Hall as the winner of “Celebrity Apprentice” – because that dude worked his ass off . . . at convincing people he was still a celebrity). I mean, when Trump started demanding that President Obama […]
A Modest Opinion — It’s a Liberal Party
By Nathaniel Moher Are you sitting down? Well . . . answer the question. Whatever. If you’re not sitting down, you should be sitting down, because I’m about to blow your mind. Did you know that there are other Liberals that aren’t Justin Trudeau? And I’m not talking about his father Joseph, I’m talking about […]
A Modest Opinion – Like Father, Like Sons
By Nathaniel Moher Quick, who is the greatest Prime Minister of Canada?! If you voted for Kim Clark, you’re obviously . . . Kim Clark. The answer, of course, is His Royal Robotness, the great Mr. Harps (if only because, if he wasn’t the greatest Prime Minister ever, why would we re-elect him after he […]
A Modest Opinion – Nathaniel Moher’s Guide to Saving the World, Pt IV: A New Hope
By Nathaniel Moher All right, with the world literally falling apart in front of my eyes (not your eyes however, as I assume none of you watch the news), I can only come to two conclusions. One: No one has followed through on my last three guides to saving the world, and two: the Mayans […]
A Modest Opinion – The Art of Getting By
By Nathaniel Moher I’m sure most of you have heard about the madman Lynden Dorval, an Edmonton schoolteacher who thought it was okay to give students a zero on assignments they failed to turn in. Don’t bother checking your eyes, you read that right! These poor students received a zero out of 100 on assignments […]
A Modest Opinion – Nathaniel Moher’s Guide to Fixing the World, Pt. 3
By Nathaniel Moher Welcome to part three of Nathaniel Moher’s Guide to Fixing the World! As any good trilogy does, Nathaniel Moher’s Guide to Fixing the World will have six parts . . . three of which will be completely unreadable and will mostly be done as a money grab. (Well, if we’re being honest, […]
A Modest Opinion – We Did It! We Beat the Conservatives!
By Nathaniel Moher Guys, we did it. We beat them! We beat the Conservatives! (USA! USA! er . . . I mean . . . CANADA! CANADA!) A little over a year after they were democratically elected (even if none of us voted for them), we’ve finally beat the Conservatives! It’s been a hard year […]
A Modest Opinion – Why do scientists keep lying to me?
By Nathaniel Moher Listen, I live by only a few certainties when it comes to my health. One, that eggs are bad for me. Two, that drinking 12 shots of Jim Beam a day makes me more interesting. And three, that if you don’t drink eight glasses of water a day you will die of […]
