I love reading newspapers, or at least I used to, but they don't engage me. It is always too predictable. I was born in 1970 and I wonder if the press has always been this way in Canada or did it start after Trudeaumania swept across the country. I read something by Andrew Coyne the other day that made me believe it was related to Trudeau. We use to have a more knockabout press and now they value consensus and telling us how we should think.

I plan to buy pork flavored pipe tobacco and smoke it upwind of a local mosque. While reading a Playboy (for the articles, of course). That gives me an idea.
