Why do we fight today ? Because they attacked us first. Civil war. Bio­log­i­cal war. Because we want to pro­tect our val­ues. Holy war and war gods. Because they have the bomb and they’re not sup­posed to. Pre­ven­tive war, atomic war. Because they tor­ture. War crimes. Because we have weapons to sell. Eco­nomic war. War of attri­tion. Phony war. War games.

Indeed, I have actu­ally never really moved in Canada. Well, at least not “move” in the real sense of the word. In 2002, I showed up with no more than a back­pack — full of sum­mer clothes since we were com­ing back from South Amer­ica. I did go to France many times since then but I didn’t have much to bring back any­way. My clothes weren’t really Canadian-winter proofed, my books were too heavy and well, we didn’t have a CD play­ers so no point in tak­ing my music col­lec­tion (although I did copy it on my laptop).

Happy Birthday To Me!

And The Winners Are...

It’s time to announce the win­ners of The Tricky Ques­tions Con­test! First of all, thanks to all of you who par­tic­i­pated. I had to mod­er­ate the com­ments for a while because some smart Eng­lish guy (Wapen­take, yes, it’s you!) got most of the answers right only a few min­utes after pub­lish­ing the post.
