Most of us are used to entrusting our information to a password, but we know that some of you are looking for something stronger. As we announced to our Google Apps customers a few months ago, we’ve developed an advanced opt-in security feature called 2-step verification that makes your Google Account significantly more secure by helping to verify that you’re the real owner of your account.

Nuns denied opportunity to vote in Ontario election

City Clerk Alex Mitchell downplayed the nuns’ complaints, saying that “there’s an onus on the voter to make sure you’re casting the right ballot.”

I pay school taxes on three houses in two jurisdictions!
Never have had any children.
So why am I pay to educate children I never had? I had no vote in the decision to have them.
Why do I have to pay for other people’s choices?
Argh!
