Rule #281: Sunshine list

For those who are not aware, the sunshine list is a published list of public-sector workers earning more than $100,000.00annually. Everyone is all up in arms about this right now because the list has grown 11% this year over last. Well what do people expect? It’s called inflation! 100K isn’t that much anymore. Do you want your public servants working for minimum wage? Wouldn’t that be great,…

Rule #288: Lunch etiquette

Maybe I’m the only one in the world who feels this way, but I can’t stand trying to have lunch with someone who can’t put their damn phone down for 60 seconds! Why, in my day, phones were attached to walls and used when necessary, not obsessively. Like if your house was on fire or you needed a pizza ASAP and didn’t feel like making one. Oh how times have changed! But really, if you’re eating with…

Rule #289: Honey garlic

Who thought to put these flavours together? Has anyone ever made a honey and garlic sandwich? No. Why? Because it’s grody to the max! Or so says my smokin’ hot trophy 80’s girlfriend.

I’d rather have peanut butter & cheese. Why can’t I order peanut butter and cheese wings? Or get a rack of peanut butter and cheese ribs? I’ll enter that in the next ribfest!

In the new world, when honey and…

Rule #301: Snow tires

In a Canadian winter, if you don’t have a kick ass set of all seasons on your car, you need to get snow tires!

Never mind the safety factor, I’m sick of sitting behind the sports car that can’t get up the 1% grade in a half inch of snow because the kid behind the wheel thinks he can get through the winter with his summer slicks on.

In the new world, snow tires will be mandatory north of the 49th…

It’s time to put an end to frivolous litigation cases. We’ve all heard of these. Not the least of which, was that Dick-wad judge who sued his dry cleaner for $65 million for losing his fat ass pants (Pearson vs Chung). I won’t get into the ludicrous details of the case, The point is, the courts never should have given him the time of day.

Then there’s the commercials we see on tv and billboards…

Rule #361: Gun control

This is easy. If it’s sole purpose is to kill another human, it shouldn’t exist. I know the NRA would have you believe that the best defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, but a better solution is no one with a gun. I think there is some truth to the saying “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”. But until we can fix everyone and rid the world of bad people, we…

Rule #1: …

How do we create a better world? I have to go back a year and reflect on what brought me here. What is the one way to create a better world? What was it that was driving me so nuts that I had to spend an entire year writing about it? Of  course! We have to create better people. I hear other people say it all the time. So we have to ask ourselves, “How do we create better people?” So many of us…

Rule #2: Keeping an open mind

Wow… rule #2 – he said very soberly - Tomorrow is an iconic day. A great day, in my humble opinion. The last of 365 rulesfor a new, better world will be released. I can’t believe it’s finally here. Over the last 364 days we’ve done a lot. I’d like to think we’ve given some thought to some issues that really require a re-think, introduced a few new rules and maybe even had a laugh or two along the…
