More thoughts on HESEG
Since watching the interview with Heather Reisman and reading the article/comments here at The Red Chair, my curiosity regarding HESEG has been peaked. I had never heard of the organisation before reading about it here. This had me wondering a few things. Why my favourite host/program would not touch upon what seemed to be a [...]
Who would you like to see in the red chair?
Is there anyone you’d love to see George interview? Is there someone you think would really put him through his paces? Or somebody that would make us all laugh till it hurts? If so let us know! I’ll even start. Elton John, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Robert Duvall, Russell Crowe or Dennis Hopper.
Read all about it! The Hour misses the mark with Reisman
Heather Reisman; president and CEO of Indigo/Chapters shes rich, shes powerful, she supports literacy… 40% of Canadian adults are functionally illiterate! Thats crazy. She’s helping to bring this to the government’s attention. However, why we would need a bookstore owner to bring this to the government’s attention says a lot about our government. The Hour [...]
One Million Acts of Green
Just went to the onemillionactsofgreen website and they have officially passed the 1,000,000 mark! I have two questions running through my head right now. Did each and every act that people signed up for really get done, or was it just a game to see if you could get more than your friends? I have [...]
You could have the 1,000,000th Act of Green!!
It’s not too late to get in on the action. Go to One Million Acts of Green and register your acts. The last time I checked they had just over 977,000 acts. There are lots of really great ways to help out – though it can be hard to wrack up really big numbers if you aren’t [...]
One Million Acts of Green
This is brilliant. Kudos to The Hour for stepping it up. As George and David Suzuki said in their conversation today, its not about being perfect its about taking steps toward being more green. So go for it, make a decision, register it on the site and prove that people can affect change. Here [...]
Suzanne Somers
Did she actually say that she and her husband inject themselves with growth hormones on a daily basis? Really? I imagine that a lot of the hormone/health problems that exist are from the injection of growth hormones into food (Refer to Monsanto’s injection of growth hormones in cows for their milk products, which was found [...]
Get to the Point- Make Poverty History Ad
George Stroumboulopoulos is one of many famous Canadian faces that can be seen in a new Make Poverty History ad pleading to the governement to reach their target and fulfill their promise to give .7% of our national income as foreign aid. This amount is necessary in order for the world to make any real progress towards [...]
