Disturbing Acts of Political Rudeness

CBC reports on a particular set of examples of such behaviour here in Ottawa, connected to the Ontario provincial election in progress at this writing.

Much as I disagree with at least one of the candidates targeted by this, it's still an act of rudeness. It's neither kosher nor halal in my view.

Medals for Exploration

The Ondaatje Medal for Exploration is a thing I learned about back in March, via CBC Radio One. At the moment, I cannot recall whether I learned of it via The Current or Q, but either way...it pleases me to know that this is a real thing that is awarded annually for Canadian achievement in exploration. It's something that is actively done here. I'd like to see it continue.
