		<title>Let’s Fix the Auto Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	Ford Canada’s president, David Mondragon, has the right idea, sort of. He’s been lobbying Ottawa hard to get help for the auto industry. But rather than throwing money directly at the manufacturers, he’s suggesting they throw some at owners of older vehicles. And why not? It seems to be working, for now, in Germany. There, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shut Up and Drive.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	 
	I took the bus home yesterday from work. While I was waiting, I watched cars go by. I noticed that some drivers were talking on their cell phones as they drove. I wondered how many drivers do that during the evening rush hour, so I thought I’d see how many cars I could count [...]]]></description>

		<title>Move it on over&#8230;Oct.16, 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
Canadians voted to move our country forward, if you believe what PM Stephen Harper says after the election on Oct. 14. He’s back in the big chair, running the show. I don’t know if he has any close friends who tell it like it is – those kinds of friends are good to have around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why are these people smiling?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
Because they’ve just pulled off the biggest theft in history, in broad daylight, that’s why. It must feel great giving away other people’s money to people who went and blew all the money they’d been given to look after previously. I seem to remember a story as a kid about the ant and the cricket, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hockey Night Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I wrote some tunes for the Hockey Night in Canada theme contest. The most fun one is this hockey hooligan chant. It&#8217;s called &#8220;My Team&#8217;s Better Than Your Team&#8220;, &#8217;cause that&#8217;s really what pro sport is all about, eh?

		<title>2 out of 3?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
Price. Quality. Service. Pick any two. That’s the formula we’re told to expect when we go shopping. If you want the best price, be prepared to sacrifice on either quality or service. If you want the best quality, it will probably include good service but you’ll have to be prepared to spend more.
	I decided our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you talking to me?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
Today I was reading a company’s description of the services they provide, and I found that I had no idea what they were talking about. Now that might be OK if they were providing something to do with, say, theoretical physics, in which case I’d be interested but would have to just nod my head [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cycle to work - are you nuts? PART THREE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Your mind’s made up? Let’s go shopping.
	You may have considered the idea of cycle commuting to work, and if you haven’t tried it before, or don’t ride a lot, the whole idea probably raises a lot of questions in your mind. I think there are lots of articles that you can read that suggest the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cycle to work - are you nuts? PART TWO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Can I really do this?
	Once I decided to seriously consider cycling to work, the first thing I did was ride to my workplace on a Sunday (we were closed on weekends), just to see if I could even do it. I had a 10-speed bike that I’d had since I was 16. It got me [...]]]></description>
