On Marie Heinen: A Brief Note

If one person came out the whole Ghomeshi mess unsoiled it was Marie Heinen.  Now stupid journalists are asking her if she thinks she's betrayed the sisterhood and other such nonsense.  She shouldn't have to answer.  It isn't her fault that the crown witnesses all went up in flames, or that the crown's attorneys stood around like a bunch of gormless boobs watching their barn burn down.  And I'll tell you something: if I got in trouble and had the $, her law firm (Henein and Associates) would be the first name on my lips.  And if I was a First Nation's rep I would be after her to expand out into land-claims.  And if I was Greenpeace I'd try and get her to do bro bono work on behalf of the whales. She is the only one of the entire crew around that trial who seemed to know what her job was and how to do it.  The rest of the cast--the activists, the crown lawyers, the witnesses themselves. I wouldn't trust them to organize a fist-fight at an Irish wedding.

Jian Ghomeshi: A Brief Note

Yes the story is ugly but I sincerely hope that someone is making sure he's ok. #JianGhomeshi

Indeed.

Something Ugly This Way Comes

I really don't know what this is about, and frankly I'm not sure I want to.  But you wanna talk about the nation losing its innocence?  The career of the nicest guy on Canadian radio ends in a grease fire?  Bad for Jian; bad for CBC.  Bad for Canada.
