They’re politicians, the fact I expected anything different is shameful.  I guess it’s because there’s this idyllic view of British Columbia being liberal and forward thinking, much like Canada’s California, but unfortunately not always the case. The issue that triggered my response here is BC government-run online gambling.  It was only two years ago the [...]

About Blimpy

This site is the story of a man (Blimpy Backgammon) from Calgary AB, Canada who made the electrifying realization that there’s more to life than working for the man or owning a condo.
