The End of Canadian Democracy

I actually don’t believe that title at all, I just realized that I do a piss-poor job at writing catchy titles that might make people actually click on my long-winded tracts. “Critically Speaking Gets Political“? Yawn. You’d think someone who’s been blogging as long as I have would’ve figured this all out by now, but what can I say? I’m just not edgy enough. (If it helps, read the title in the most sarcastic inner voice you can muster, and that would more accurately reflect my opinion).

Anyway, I’ll continue interrupting the usual raison d’être of this blog of writing reviews of movies that barely anyone reads, because I just can’t stop reading crap about our political mess. I really should stop, it isn’t healthy. But damned if it isn’t entertaining (another unfortunate circumstance of all this political reading? Constantly seeing terms like raison d’être and putsch… which I just had to look up now to find out what it means).

Critically Speaking Gets Political

And now for something a little different (I’d quote Monty Python here, but a blogger friend of mine recently used that, and I’ve stolen from him enough over the years). I usually use this blog to discuss important things, like the best comic book movies ever or the ugliest jerseys in sports. But recent events have forced me to discuss the decidedly less important matter of politics, mostly because its become the most entertaining show in town.
