Analytic Retention - 3,000 Blog Hits in March

Lost planets and off-world colonies are tuning in to Corby's Orbit in record numbers, it seems. After my first browser wowser in 2014 with 2,000 hits last September, it's astonishing to see that my show blog had over 3,000 hits this past month. Maybe it's content, maybe it's style. It's obviously not the brain-damaged word-play. Keep on being curious and I will promise to maintain the musical root-imentary flame-bouyancy. Onward and outward and round we go in deliciously derelict real time rotation. Until such time. Thanks for listening.

Speak out against Stephen Harper's reckless "secret police" Bill C-51.

Nathan Phillips Square \ 12pm - 2pm
100 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5H 2N2, Canada

                                                 
                                                "Hard Times" by Stephen Foster

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times, come again no more.

'Tis the song, the sign of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh, hard times, come again no more.

'Tis the song, the sign of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more.

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er
Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Oh, hard times, come again no more.

'Tis the song, the sign of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more.

Government Set On Changing The Charter Of Rights

On March 14, people will gather together in communities across Canada to speak out against Stephen Harper's reckless "secret police" Bill C-51.

IN Toronto - Nathan Phillips Square \ 12pm - 2pm
100 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5H 2N2, Canada.

Experts have pointed out that, if passed, the bill will:

Create a secret police force with little oversight or accountability.

Facilitate government spying and information sharing on Canadians.

Allow for a variety of violations of our Charter Rights.

Despite the severity of this secret police plan the government is trying to ram bill C-51 through parliament in record time.

This bill disproportionately targets indigenous communities, environmental activists, dissidents, and Muslims, many of whom are already subjected to questionable and overreaching powers by security officials. This bill will make it easier and ostensibly lawful for government to continue infringing upon the rights of peaceful people.
