		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever get to stop? No? Maybe an extra pair of socks then. When I was in university the campus anti-choice group was called 'McGill Students for Life'. We - the Dailyites - used to go up to their tables in the student union building and say naïvely "Does that mean you're never going to graduate? That's sad."

		<description><![CDATA[This week's announcement of federal government layoffs <a href="http://www.psac-afpc.org/news/2012/releases/20120430-e.shtml">featured a lot from Parks Canada</a>. And then, a day later, the agency announces they're going to <a href="http://www.calgaryherald.com/travel/springs+privately/6550800/story.html">sell off three of its most iconic attractions</a>. Now I admit, I work for the union that acts on behalf of the people losing their jobs at Parks Canada. But the parks and wilderness lover in me is also outraged.

		<description><![CDATA[That's right internets. I'm rating them 'negative'. I am earnestly and sincerely advising my friends family and blog readers to not buy their shares, not apply for jobs there and not buy anything from their bond rating stuff store. (I wonder what it would sell - little currency stuffy toys?).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably the biggest reason I left student politics when I was in my early 20s was the feeling of repeating myself over and over. I know I'd really only been involved for six or so years but still six or so years of repeating the same arguments over and over again was making me feel old. And tired.

		<description><![CDATA[I just got my confirmation for the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour today - in the email. Bravo, Ottawa Bicycle Club. You've made it to the age of email. As snarky as that sounded, I would appreciate the efforts the club staff and volunteers make if they sent their confirmations on hand-inscribed vellum or stone tablets. It's an amazing event and I'm glad to be doing it again this year. ]]></description>

Just a few more items and we'll have something to be proud of. Something that runs counter to the current of nastiness emanating from the PMO.
