There are always a few like me, with a tenuous grasp on the unique aspects of each of Kanadoodle's provinces. Those wondering why my blog has been inactive for a few days need look no further than the fact that I have been visiting Roberta, the province that shares a long border with Blunder Country. …

It’s the Economy, Stupid!
Yes, whenever I consider the economy I feel stupid. There's not a lot of economic theory that makes any sense to me. There are many that argue on the positive side of immigration, for instance, for economic reasons. The rationale seems to be that ever increasing population is good for the economy. They say our …
It’s Kanadoodle Day!
Break out the frozen yogurt and your red-blooded maple leaf! Every year the citizens of Kanadoodle gather quietly in clusters, wearing their distinctive leaves in a typical understated show of public pride. The days when there was fierce debate raging about which symbol was going to represent Kanadoodle are long gone. I, for one, am …
Kanadoodle in Raptures
In most respects the citizens of Blunder Country think the relevant parts of Kanadoodle lie between the Pacifying Ocean and the Rock Mountain Range. Those living next to the Sadlantic Ocean think there's not much beyond the tides that lap at their shores. The citizens in the province of Onfairyoh know the world ends just …
Vancooler!

Most of you already know that Hon-Konged is part of the world's most populated country, Porcelain (often referred to as Bone China due to the many dinosaur bones found in their deserts). The roots of the …
The Big Onions
I was watching my television the other day and became quite annoyed when short bits of news kept interrupting the commercials. Despite these annoying distractions, I still managed to catch the latest effort by Blunder Country's Treacherous Faction (BCTF). For those unfamiliar with the BCTF, it is a conglomerate of creatures who have undertaken the …
Remembrance
The antics of politicians in any place provide endless fodder for the amusements of the populace. What are they there for, anyway? The province of Blunder Country in the northern country of Kanadoodle is no exception. Here in BC's capital city of Wicktoria (named in honor of the fact it doesn't hold a candle in …
Doomsday Unplugged
Just before I engaged in my usual morning routine of preparing breakfast, the power went out. There's a lovely hush in a house when the power goes out, not unlike the quiet you get in the far north on a calm winter's day. In the north there are places with no cars, no planes, no …
The Wonky World of TV Scripts
There's nothing on TV that drives me away from a series faster than impossibilities written into a script. You don't have to go far to find any number of popular shows whose writers are addicted to stupid plots or creating villains who could only accomplish their nastiness if they were possessed of super powers. I …
