Alberta 2012: How Do You Like Your Conservatism, Mild or Bold?
Most Albertans either can’t remember or weren’t yet alive when a party other than the Progressive Conservatives formed a provincial government. But here we are, 40 years later, and the Wildrose Party is poised to supplant a decades old Progressive Conservative dynasty as Albertans are calling for political change for the first time in a … Continue reading

So, after spending yesterday morning (and the past few months) hearing about financial crises in Italy and Spain, I found it interesting to be watching an entertaining Champions League football match in the afternoon between AC Milan and FC Barcelona. Most striking to me was that these two countries that can’t seem to get their … Continue reading
The negotiations between the NBA owners and players are going nowhere. What were supposed to be key talks today yielded absolutely nothing. Players are negotiating contracts to play in countries they hitherto had no idea existed. The general consensus is that the entire season will be lost. The outlook is bleak for the NBA. The … Continue reading
So today it was settled. No more HST. You win Bill. You lose everyone else. But the fundamental question of this entire HST debate, that nobody was asking, was not whether it was the right or wrong policy, but rather why were we having a debate at all? Never in Canadian history has a referendum … Continue reading
I love BC. I was born there. Once I settle down a bit I will live there again. But my time away (travelling last winter, living in Calgary now) has given me some perspective on some of the more ridiculous elements of British Columbian society.

Meandering Thoughts...
- I always like to look at the terms people use in search engines that eventually lead them through the matrix to my blog. I think it's important to monitor this to know what people are consistently searching for and finding on my blog so that I can tailor my content to engage them more. There are certainly some strange terms in the list and of course some expected ones (DylanRayburn.com and my name were on the list). Top 3: 49 - 'wnba sucks' - Unfortunately this topic has been well covered and any further effort towards it is thoroughly redundant. ('the wnba sucks' and 'wnba suck' each had an additional four queries) 38 - 'dylan rayburn' - Naturally my name is here, but it was still nowhere close to all of the permutations of 'wnba sucks'. 33 - 'count chocula' - Nice to know children under 10 and basement-dwelling losers are finding my blog. Strange ones: 'fuck bctf' - My thoughts exactly. 'cc sabbathia fat' - 7 searches for this pedestrian observation. 'mat kearney sucks' - 'reebok hockey sexy girls' - 'sexy site:dylanrayburn.com' (twice? huh?) - 'pudge rodriguez eats fan's nacho during game' - 'fat baseball players' (sensing a trend)
