It's been well-proven that goldfish have much more than a "30 second memory" guys. Please, let's stop proliferating that myth. Doesn't everyone at BB also watch Mythbusters?!

And the Mythbusters experiment was replicated by a 15 year old in Australia and reported in February of this year.

I'll leave the moral objections to others, but the first sentence of the quote is just dead wrong.

Aside from the legal or moral issues in this case, it did provide for one of the funnier quips I've heard in a while....

"Cournoyer, a 24-year-old university student, has been accused in a letter from a Calgary law firm representing Stelmach of misappropriating the premier's personality for his own gain.

@ Donovan

The text of the legislation isn't up yet. Here's a link to the Order Paper for that day.

It seems that when the text is released, you should be able to click on the link (under Introduction of Government Bills, No. 3).

I intend on showing up at Mr. Prentice's open house just to let him know politely, in person, that I'm interested and concerned about the bill, and that I'd appreciate his feedback, and to encourage him to not hide from the issues. (And to ask him to go on CBC's Search Engine to answer some questions about the proposed legislation, among other things...)

Anyways, here's the link:

We'll be there as well. I've already called his office and haven't been called back yet.

Hopefully we'll make an impression, but please, contact your own MP as well. We need to hit them hard and broadly.
