Jim Elve runs BlogsCanada, which is like a blogdirectory of Canadian Blogs. That site also has a section on it called The E-Group, where people with a variety of multi-partisan viewpoints will post their political commentary like what other bloggers do. Jim was the one who helped me first get into blogging in 2004 - [...]

I saw this over at Michelle’s site this morning. Apparently, not only are the Conservatives going to have to explain Harper’s conversion to the environmental cause from his “Kyoto is a socialist money-grabbing scheme” letter, they’re also going to have to explain the fact they apparently are good at preaching about ethics, not so good [...]

Warren Kinsella wrote up his personal Top 10 Bloggers List and in it complained or bemoaned the fact that there arent more ’smart women bloggers’ out there (only 1 made his list). Well, I’ve got 4 pretty smart women bloggers on my sidebar IMHO, a 5th if you count that Skdadl is one of the [...]

Fidel Castro is one of the last remnants of the Cold War, and one you wont find me defending (though obviously I defend our country’s past and present decision to trade with Cuba).
That being said, when I read today that Miami (the city of Miami, not just its Cuban community) is planning a “death party” [...]

I participated on this version of the Bloggers Hotstove with James Bow, Mike Park (Rational Reasons) and Greg Staples.. so it was a very left-oriented panel, with Greg gamely trying to present the Tory point of view even though he was outnumbered. There were a lot of topics discussed, and it got heated at times. [...]
