  • Where You Can Find Sun TV News Network

    This post was prompted by a comment that I received earlier last week about the accessibility to Sun TV news network. I came across this blog entry by David Akin that provides the clearest answer to where Sun TV news will be on the dial when it launches on April 18.

    From David Akin

    Update of where you can find us on April 18th:

    If you currently receive Sun TV (check local listings), you’ll be able to watch Sun News Network on that channel until August 31. For example, Channel 213 on Bell TV or Channel 15 if you’re on Rogers in Toronto.

    More info to come as we get it!

  • Fringe Parties in Canada

    While doing research for something else I stumbled over this fun little news nugget.

    From CTV

    There are 19 registered political parties in Canada

    There is the Pirate Party. It says it “strives to reform copyright laws and to protect the privacy of Canadians.” I just like the name.

    There’s that old favourite the Rhinos.

    On their website they proudly say we don’t speak English very much but we French very well.

    They promise their website will be translated some day.

    One of the best ones though has been deregistered for this election. I don’t know why.

    I could give some serious thought to the Work Less Party.

    Workers of the World relax. Alarm clocks kill dreams.

    That would be something to sleep on.

    the pirate party, work less party, Canadian politics.

  • Tim Hudak on the Jim Richards show

    This afternoon Tim Hudak was on the Jim Richards show for once not talking about politics but his love of the Boston Bruins. I think it is refreshing to see this side of Hudak in the lead up to the election this fall. You can listen to the audio of the interview below.
