Charles Smith’s punishment deemed ‘a slap on the wrist’
Christie Blantchford is Damn Straight.
On his ill-considered assessments, this "doctor" ruined men and families. I have always wondered if he had anything to do with the Susan Nelles case in the 1980's.
Smith should be charged and tried for his crimes of impunity.

Yann Martel gives up forcing books on PM
Finally, after 100 books he quit. Thank-God.
His list is filled with mostly left-wing trash, so it seems a waste of time to read most of them except for Martel's conceit. Despite trying to like it, I hated his book "The life of Pi" as another example of how Canadian Culture industries are bankrupt.

Ricky Gervais bombs at the Golden Globe awards
I am not a great fan of such Award programs (except perhaps the Academy Awards a it breaks up the winter as bit) but I did read that apparently Gervais's humour was not appreciated at this years ceremony.
I watched these clips of his gags and must say I can understand the discomfort, but there was some (off colour) funny parts.
