Either the Canadian federal government has just been exposed for using some very unconventional tactics to boost productivity in the economy, or the Google News selection and matching algorithm is a bit obsessed with the current alleged terrorist arrests in Toronto and got a little overzealous when matching the picture with the headlines. (I’m guessing there’s a window of opportunity to see this live on Google News before it gets properly matched, so if you’re reading this too late, you’ll have to take the word of my screen capture here. No Photoshopping, I promise!)

About this blog

Formerly titled "one man's pop culture commentary", I've decided to re-label this for a few reasons:
(1) It's now home for all my online 'stuff'
(2) the search engines like it better
(3) the posts will be less pop-culture focused

Thanks for dropping by.
