I haven’t posted in quite a while. Quite frankly there’s not been (in my opinion) a lot to write about in Canadian Television and the Internet. Yes, there’s been the hearings about some loony left wingers that want to regulate the internet, and I thought about doing something. Then I remembered, I don’t live in China, this country WILL NOT try to regulate the internet, so I can go on my merry way.
What brought me back strangely enough was me sitting in my hotel room up here in North Bay. I got an email from wordpress with a very curious comment.
You wrote: “I want Quebec without Claude Dubois.”
Another retarded Ontario who thinks he can tell people from Québec how to think.
The day we separate from shitheads like you can’t come soon enough!

Well, I thought that sounded a bit harsh, and pointless, so my first instinct was to delete it. He was of course referring to my blog posting about Claude Dubois’ ignorant comments against the CBC last year in which he called them racists for editing down a 3 hour music awards show to 45 minutes of something people in Toronto (where it aired) might have wanted to see. And in doing, cut a lot of French acts that most Anglo Torontonians would not know anyway.
I approved that last comment after some thought. Its been almost a year since I wrote that and had to go back and read it again. Was I rude, or offensive in it? I read it, then I read it again. Then I pondered… I then went to reply to the comment with a simple clever jibe… but nothing came to mind. Then as I began to ramble I realised the need all of us people have these days to force our views on those around us through blogs… so, I wrote this.
You clearly didn’t READ the article. Which means, you are either not able to read English, which is possible. Your tone would suggest you are a separatist, and thats fine. But I would appreciate if you would attack people who are truly being agitators. Read the article again. What I said was that I want Quebec within a United Canada. And that I could do without people like Claude Dubois who seek out any opportunity they can to say ‘See, see, Canada hate’s Quebec so we should leave.’ Your statement is as ignorant as his. The day you separate from shitheads like me will be an interesting one, I’ll grant you that. I used to have strong Nationalist feelings that made me believe we need Canada to stay as one unit, and that Quebec is a vital part of that. I no longer think that. I think that if a large enough group of people in my country no longer want to be a part of it, well, they can go, hold themselves a referendum (With a CLEARLY defined question on the ballot) and if they win, Go. The country will be sad to see you go, I will too… but hey. I’ll take comfort in knowing Peter that you are happy to be separated from a shithead like me.
I wrote that, and smirked at my own clevernous. Of course, I am secure in the knowledge should I ever try and run for anything someone will dig up this blog posting and say “look… Howard HATES Quebec, he wants them to leave” I’ll sigh…. try and explain, but of course get shouted down by people who just want to have the Canada vs Quebec debate all over again.
Then, in an effort to divert attention from the story, I’ll post my sex tape with Paris Hilton on the internet.
Excuse me… I think I just threw up in my mouth…
It has been nearly 20 days since I’ve had the time and energy to post… but hey, the new fall shows have started so its time I got my butt moving again and did some writing.
For those that missed the premiere, or for those that want to watch it again:
