Carnival of the Canucks #19

It’s time again for Carnival of the Canucks, where each fortnight a
Canadian blog points to highlights in other Canadian blogs in a fit of
Canadian linky love.

This fortnight’s Carnival is being hosted by Nicholas “Ghost of a Flea” Packwood, and the theme is “Fat, Drunk and Canadian”. The theme draws its title to a response to the Toronto Star’s recent column by Antonia Zerbisias, Insult-Happy Web Guns Fall Quiet,
in which she wrote about how the warbloggers aren’t blogging as much as
they used to. A riot of angry posts, right-wing rhetoric and fat jokes
(“laughing at someone else’s expanse”) ensued.
