Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run”

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:35:21 PDT
Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run” This morning, the state-run, state-owned CBC Newsworld state-media employed news anchor, Suhana Meharchand, referred to Zimbabwe’s “state-run news media” and how they are accusing the political opposition of treason.

Countdown to liberals and sundry leftist and downright Marxist CBC apologists emailing me those seething reprimands insisting

CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”! It ain’t good, that’s for sure! Just yesterday I had to update my Monday blog entry because the fair and balanced state-owned CBC Newsworld kept changing its mind about the Conservative government’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maxime Bernier, and how to officially describe his, um, verbal malfunction. On Monday I showed you how Canada’s cable news networks—the state-owned one and the citizen-owned one against which t

A news junkie’s dream …. or nightmare

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:46:47 PDT
I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office. So when I saw Brian Solis’ post about local broadcast news going social I was at first rather skeptical of the the idea; after all everything these days is having the social sticker slapped on its ass like it is going to be the road to instant riches or something. But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

Like My Hat? It's Made of Tinfoil!

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:08:44 PDT
Instead of dealing with the serious issue at hand, alleged election overspending, the Con's are as usual pointing fingers at the Lib's and anyone else they can think of as a diversion. One of their favourite attack dogs, Pierre Poilievre apparently sees a conspiracy here. Ottawa-area Conservative Pierre Poilievre (PWAH'-lee-ehv) goes further, accusing Elections Canada of inviting the Liberal party to watch the raid unfold. Note to Petey. The Lib's have said that they saw the story on Newsworl

Cons: RCMP Raid Was a 'Publicity Stunt'

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:10:43 PDT
Pass the tissues. Oh how I weep for those poor victims of the RCMP raid of the Cons' headquarters. Not. The tories are scrambling to paint themselves as being oppressed after yesterday's raid (which continues today). The problem is that they appointed the two Elections Canada officials they're now suing and that they applaud the RCMP (even protecting Zaccardelli to the bitter end) except when they're the targets of a legally-sanctioned warrant. And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li

Experiential Marketing Summit Day 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:18:25 PDT
Experiential Marketing Summit Day 1 I just got back from Vermilion, a fabulous Latin-Indian fusion restaurant where we enjoyed some explosively flavorful combinations. I am told this is the hottest trend in Chicago cuisine. I can see why. According to our waiter, one of the dishes, a lobster tail thingy, was voted one of the top 20 dishes in America by USA Today. How could we NOT try it? HIGHLY recommended (the dish AND the joint.) Today was a great start for the Experiential Marketing Sum

Key Global And Ethical Issues

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:22:31 PDT
A while back I tried to write a series of blogposts on some key ethical issues facing our world today. After first drafts, it just sat there, unfinished, testament of my inability to write extended blog pieces. I love the long essay format, but there’s something about writing in that style that, for me at least, doesn’t work on a blog (even when cut into bite-sized pieces). So, I’m taking another pass at the idea of outlining some global ethical problems in a shorter, more notesy format. This i

The People Part of Enterprise Collaboration and Virtual Teams Chuck shares some thinking about recent work at EMC about the use (or otherwise) of a taxonomy on its collaboration platform. The discussions around what they were trying to achieve ("primarily around orienting new users") resulted in different ways of doing things. "But, if this experience has taught me anything, it's that we need to be even more clear about what we're trying to do here. There's a ton of pre-conceived baggage aro

Do not cut online marketing funds in face of recession Filed: Pay Per Click, Marketing Science, Marketing John Ellis @ 12:42 am With the value of the dollar decreasing and a decline in consumer confidence, it might seem counter-productive to keep spending. However, that is exactly what needs to be done. History shows that marketers that maintained or even increased spending benefited from the silence of others.

Heritage and culture - they define our identity. No matter where we turn, we are unconsciously exposed to snippets of other cultures, whether it is the taco restaurant around the corner or the fashionable kimonos at the mall. In today's global society, cultures are fusing - we have acquired numerous cultural characteristics that are not native to us. As members of a global MMORPG such as TSL, we need to question ourselves: do we parallel the real world by exhibiting and recognizing other cultur

The Economist: Romania to surpass Italy by 2020

"In the euro zone, Italy is the country most likely to tip into recession in the next 12 months. ...] In 2006 it was overtaken by Spain; next year it may fall behind Greece (see chart). Francesco Grillo, at the London School of Economics, suggests that, if current trends remain unchanged, Romania will overtake Italy in 2020. That may be fanciful, but it confirms that slow growth has become Italy's worst failing. It has persisted under governments of left and right alike. None has been bold en
