After last year’s demise of blog.com and the following ordeal, The Waffle has just learned that most of the blog’s photos would no longer be available, thanks to a change of policy by Photobucket. First, they announced on June 26th that they had updated their Terms of Service, effective on June 20, 2017. Then they implemented the new policy and ask users to review the latest changes. They finally issued a press release to explain themselves. Too late. Suddenly, a free service was no longer available and you were asked to pony up 400 bucks to get it back. The accusations of ransomware and blackmail were coming fast and furious. And yes, I know too well the danger of relying on free services. Upset users are leaving Photobucket in droves. For the photo hosting service, it is a debacle turned into a complete disaster. For The Waffle, it means more work. Not all the original posts have…

– Lord Waffle. This is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence. – You may dispense with the pleasantries, Administrator. I am here to put you back on schedule. – I assure you, Lord Waffle, my men are working as fast they can. – Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them. – I tell you that this website will be operational as planned. – The Waffle King does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation. – But he asks the impossible! I need more men! – Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives. – The Waffle King is coming here? – That is correct, Administrator , and he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress. – We shall double our efforts!! – I hope so, Administrator, for your sake. The Waffle King is not as forgiving as I am. ****** Just like the Second Death Star, The Waffle…

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…

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…
