Tonight’s Chew on This was inspired by a few comments on twitter, and some of the issues I have with big pharmaceuticals companies. But it really started with Inside PR. I tend to consider them evil, but maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is just the darker side of capitalism. But then there’s this poor guy and the cost big pharma is having on our health care system.

Merry Christmas and it’s the end of season 3. (and my 3rd Xmas podcasting)

It’s not a regular episode this week. As a treat I have pieced together the Christmas audio letters my family and friends have sent me. Also, because Mr. Pants mooned a bus load of Nuns I have to do some community service. (Note, you’re apparently responsible for your clowns behavior.) I have included some messages home from our troops battling the robots.

I hope you enjoy and have a nice Christmas day.

This Saturday the Calgary Roller Derby Association had their Grudge match. Sadly, the Thrashin Lassies lost. But still it is a great sport to watch.

Triggered by a rant from our old friend Scarborough Dude we explore the RCMP as a Canadian symbol. I do talk a bit about the Taser incident and my thoughts on it, but my point is more the loss of National Police force as a Canadian symbol.

I have feedback from Barely and his understudy Charles. (I need to explain sex to Charles)

In the Daily strip I take a look at FBOFW and the new format, and Funky Winkerbean and Tom’s new format.

Chew on This

Finding Canada

Not surprising, my Canada is made up of the pop culture of CBC and CTV from the mid 70s to the mid 80s. I grew up without cable TV. Not because I am too old, or that my parents we poor, but because they had different priorities. They are now enjoying a comfortable and exciting retirement, while all I have is memories of a cold and empty childhood.

So, observations, what did I discover on my first trip to central canada. Well Central Canadians are not that much different than Calgarians, now that could be because most Calgarians are from Toronto. Ottawa is a beautiful place, so is kingston. However, it is really different in Central Canada. Most notable is the amount of history. Central Canada is a hell of a lot older that Alberta. Not the people, the buildings. This is because just like Cleveland is the birthplace of civilization, Central Canada is the birthplace of Canada. It was explained to me that the amazing Canal system in and around Ottawa was a result of the English deciding that we needed a safer route for transporting goods. Not only is Calgary younger than pretty much anywhere in Ontario, but we are also developmentally delayed. What I mean is that, and I have touched on this before, Calgary is the junior high students of Canada, we haven’t even hit puberty. The city did not even start to grow until the 50s. We were a small city on a river until after the 2and world war. There were a few buildings hotels and such, but no row house or really much to preserve. Note, I am not trying to devalue that pre 50s history, because it is there and what is left is worth preserving, but it is not on the same level, I mean an old RCMP fort, is cool, but it doesn’t hold a candle to a canal system built for national security.

As I said my pop culture memories are from the mid 70s through the mid 80s, and they are also from the CBC and CTV which came from Central Canada. My friends have memories of Saturday night live and school house rock. I have memories of Peter puck and Terry David Muligan. Something were a bit different out west. For example, do you remember that clown, that hobo clown that would show up on children’s daytime programing. I finally had that mystery solved. I could never figure out his point. Turns out, he was teaching french. You see, in alberta the just dubbed in english. Remember, Alberta was the province with a picture of Rene Levesque with a big X on it at the border in the 70s.

I am glad I finally had a change to meet Canada this weekend, I am sorry it took so long. I guess my next adventure need to involve Quebec. You listeners can look forward to more of this because I am going to continue this journey to discover canada. Watch out quebec, you might be next.

I write today to share exciting news of a musical nature. My pop/rock outfit Lejeune has just put out a new record called For Club and Country , and in celebration of such we are hosting a CD Release show tomorrow (Sat 5/12) evening at Arlington, VA’s intimate and excellent Iota Club and Cafe. The show—which kicks off at 9pm with one of our favorite DC acts The Antiques—affords us the opportunity to share our life’s work for the past year and a half. While this is an 11th hour notice, if you’re able and inclined, it would be great to see you there.

However, should distance and/or prior engagements preclude you from attending, I invite you to listen to the digital fruits of our collective labor at the following web outlets:

Our Website
Our Myspace Page
Our CD Baby Page
Our iTunes Page

For Club and Country is already receiving positive notices, notably from the WashingtonPost.com :

I gotta say, the band is great so go check them out.
