I'm a writer. I do many things, but writing is one of my favourites. I use my blog mainly to pontificate about a variety of topics that may or may not be interesting to anyone. I don't let that stop me.

ChangeCamp Edmonton – Government 2.0

How do we re-imagine government & citizenship in the age of participation? Here's your chance to get involved in talking about the direction of politics in Canada.
Killing the CBC

Killing the CBC

It’s a dream come true. A perfect storm, if you’re Conservative. Killing the CBC is something I’m sure they’ve all pined for for years.

Canada gets another minority government

Well, one more election in the books. I’m a political junkie, but I hope we don’t go through that exercise in futility again soon!
