The Waffle Shall Rise Again (II)

0

Yesterday, my friends and colleagues and old timers from the NDP celebrated the end of my political career.   They cheered and they applauded and they laughed and they chanted.  A few even danced, I am sure of it. I didn’t realize so many people would be so happy to see me leave! Out of spite, I almost changed my mind. After 19 years, it was time to turn the page. But not every page needs to be turned for good. Indeed, as a departing gift, I was presented with a new website. The Waffle is back.  It shall be known from now on as TheWaffle.ca Thanks to fellow New Democrats, the resurrection of The Waffle was possible. A special thanks to Tara, Ed, Cedric and Reg who have worked on this project. For their kindness towards The Waffle and the Human race, I, by the powers that I granted…

The Waffle Shall Rise Again

Rising from the ashes of the toaster is everyone’s favorite left-wing, Canadian, named after a breakfast item/political movement food blog. We got as much as we could, Karl.  It isn’t exactly how it was, but you can have some fun tidying up the Waffle’s new home. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to many more years of culinary colour commentary and quintessential Karlovian comedic critiques. Blog.com drools. TheWaffle.ca rules!

Dear Waffler Nation,  The issues that have been crippling The Waffle lately have gone from bad to worse.  Blog.com has simply become unresponsive. It is down. So you may not ever read this anyway. The Waffle is looking for a solution but things do not look good at this time. Lots of data is stuck in the entrails of Blog.com. Seeking help and more info, I have been advised to join the Great Illuminati brotherhood in order to live a better and happy life. I could change and transform my life in the most positive way. I am told that if I join the Illuminati Church online today, I will get an instant sum of 5 million dollars with a free home any where I choose to live in the world. It is tempting. But no word of wisdom about The Waffle’s future, sadly. So before I get a new…

This hot chicken is in the Cage

We were on our way to Poutinefest on Sparks Street. As we got to the Portage bridge, we realized it was closed. I turned left towards the Alexandria bridge, which was completely jam-packed. I kept going, thinking I’d cross on the MacDonald-Cartier bridge. I did. But there was no getting anywhere near Sparks street. “Everything around here is purple,” stated Ms. Waffle after looking at her traffic app. ”What’s going on?” Ms. Waffle looked it up. The CN Cycle for CHEO. Road closures were numerous. So we gave up on Poutinefest. We made our way back across the river. First, I thought we could go to Le BBQ Shop on Fournier. But it was closed. I kept going, and figured we could still get our Poutine fix at GAGA Patate. Also closed. I kept driving around, and Ms. Waffle suggested Routine Poutine. Guess what? Closed. “Well, La Cage aux Sports…
