1 GREY CUP WEEK OPENING CEREMONIES! They’re today at noon. By the way, a lot of the graphic design for this thing is incredibly amateurish and shitty. The logo doesn’t mesh with the art and neither work with the typography. Really, people? We can’t do better? We want to be known as the province with Canada’s shittiest graphic design?
2 CONSERVATIVE INTEGRITY, HONOUR AND HONESTY Conservative Senator Mike Duffy and Nigel Wright, the prime minister’s former chief of staff, are being investigated for bribery and fraud. Meanwhile, Conservative MP and minister of employment Jason Kenney says Rob Ford should resign because he’s a shameful calamity. Also, remember how the Fords went berserk at Monday’s city council meeting? There are calls for an investigation. Meanwhile, media lawyers are fighting for more information on ongoing police investigations.
3 CANADA IS RUINING THE CONFERENCE We’re huge assholes about climate change. We’re not alone. Ninety companies are responsible for 63 per cent of global carbon emissions, half of which were produced AFTER it was firmly established that emissions are dangerously warming the planet.
4 BUT AT LEAST WE’RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT CYBER-BULLYING Will new legislation be any good?
THE ANTI-ABORTION ATTACK ON WOMEN’S RIGHTS: TODAY’S NEWS Albuquerque sticks up for women; the U.S. Supreme Court dunnit; and federal Conservatives still want to be bosses of all the uteruses.
6 DRESS UP FOR THE ARCADE The fancy band demand concert-goers wear “formal wear or costume” at their shows. Little taken aback, but it could make for a neat concert experience, I suppose.
LOOK AT THIS It’s got laser beams!
