2010 in Canadian politics was quite the year. We had heroes, villains, action, drama, tragedy, all of the things that a good cinematic tour de force (or, Jersey Shore) requires to be compelling. And because I want to dash off an article before I start drinking heavily and watching the awful half-dead zombies that are the Air Farce crew wheeled out of their deathbeds to do another painful New Year’s special (CHICKEN CANNON!) , I’ll go ahead and dash off a best-of article and then hit the bottle.
So here’s a rundown of the year that was in MapleRag articles!
JANUARY: Harper does the shuffle, we do the analysis! Our analysis of the January cabinet shuffle, back when we actually did analysis.
FEBRUARY: The Opening Ceremonies, or: Are all Canadians on LSD? MapleRag’s highest-viewed article ever! During the Vancouver Olympics we changed our layout to become the OFFICIAL POLITICS BLOG OF THE OLYMPICS (and we weren’t even sued!) and wrote a bunch of articles about our nation’s heroic patriotic circle-jerk.
MARCH: The Tweety Awards! Our Tweety Awards, honouring the best in political Tweeting, actually got a response from some noob who handles media for Sukh Dhaliwal’s campaign! It’s like we’re a real media outlet!
APRIL: Mayoral Kombat! I got to talk about Toronto mayoral candidates, and also made a bunch of Mortal Kombat references. In retrospect, I was likely drunk.
MAY: Queen Victoria died for your right to sit on a dock and drink! That picture of Queen Victoria – I probably stole it off Wikipedia – is the #2 result when you search for “Queen Victoria” in Google Image Search, making that image the most popular thing on my site. I’m so proud.
- NOTE: the Air Force special just started, it’s worse than I imagined, I’ve started drinking. -
JUNE: Happy G20, this party sure is a riot! In June the G20 came to Toronto, and everyone burned a bunch of shit. Here’s our exciting live-ish blog!
- NOTE: OH MY GOD THEY’VE GOT A GUY IN BLACKFACE AS OBAMA DOING AN OLD SPICE COMMERCIAL PARODY, THIS IS THE WORST AIR FARCE NEW YEARS SPECIAL EVER -
JULY: I beg for your pardon? Of the articles I wrote in July, this is the longest.
AUGUST: Stephen Harper dances to Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy – the real rapper! – actually Favourited this video on Youtube. It was the highlight of my fucking life.
SEPTEMBER: Peter MacKay’s war on fake-war video games. September was a slow month.
OCTOBER: MapleRag EXCLUSIVE HIGH-QUALITY JOURNALISM about the Toronto mayoral debate. I took pictures in a mayoral debate I snuck into. That’s what us journalism folks call a scoop.
NOVEMBER: Government advertises on porn sites? Sidenote: Wait, you can get WHAT on the internet? I’m pretty proud of this, since this was pretty much the most intelligent article written on this topic on the internet, which is saying a lot.
DECEMBER: This fucking article you read right now. Congrats!
HAPPY DRUNKEN NEW YEAR!
