First one to make a politician joke gets a kick in the ass.

BunkerDown – coming soon

From The Guardian:

Letting the private sector own and operate a new seniors home in Charlottetown is nothing short of highway robbery, says Prince Edward Island’s largest public sector union.

“And, believe me, we know a thing or two about highway robbery,” added the union.

This picture terrifies me!

Here’s the first sentence from a story from yesterday’s CBC page:

A 41-year-old man from Charlottetown, P.E.I., was sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting a 19-year-old man with a weapon.

First question: Which man had the weapon – the 41 year-old or the 19 year-old?
Second question: Did the 41-year old actually use the weapon in the act of the sexual assault? 
Third question: How are things?

Wait.  Is this what married gay couples would do?
May have to re-think my position.

So, for work, I was browsing the web looking for some info on this weekend’s Jack Frost Children’s Winterfest.  I found the info I needed at a site called Walk And Sea Charlottetown.  Looks like it might be a new site for Tourism Charlottetown.  I didn’t spend a lot of time on the site, but my initial impression was that it was rather nicely laid out.
My problem with the site is the name:  Walk and Sea Charlottetown.  Specifically, the use of the word “Sea”.  I understand that it’s a play on the word “see” and reflects, I guess, the beautiful harbour element to our city.  I get that.  But isn’t it going to be confusing when speaking the name to whomever?  Aren’t you going to have to explain that “See” is actually spelled “S-E-A”?
It’s like those parents who want their children to have unique and interesting names, like Lyndsy or Chyna or St33ve, and toss in some alternative-spelling letters.  Then the poor kid has to go through their life always correcting the spelling of their name.  “Actually, that’s k-a-r-Y-n, not E-n.”

Okay, I just typed in http://www.walkandseecharlottetown.com and it brought me to the same site.  So, never mind.
