Language matters
While most Canadians are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Canadian men’s Olympic hockey team, those with political leanings are abuzz with the news that Parliament may be prorogued until after those very same Olympics. A quick Twitter search will show that there are strong feelings one way or another but this post isn’t going… Continue reading Language matters
It’s not you. Well, it might be.
Just a quick note to the legions of people who read this blog regularly. And by legions I mean my mom and people who accidentally added me to their RSS feed reader. I know I’ve been a bad blogger lately but, frankly, I’ve needed to step back a bit. There’ve been some major developments in… Continue reading It’s not you. Well, it might be.

Today is my good people day
Way back in April, my good friend Ryan Anderson wrote a post called “today is good people day” and he was gracious enough to include me in the list. He was inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk, who suggested April 3 be dedicated to recognizing good people. In the spirit of late adoption, I’ve decided to go with… Continue reading Today is my good people day
On the cusp of something historic
WARNING: Potty mouth ahead. I curse sometimes. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I am, admittedly, a cynical bastard. I don’t have a lot of use for big-letter political movements and I find the polarized nature of discourse in the US particularly loathsome. The fact that voters actually register as Democrats or Republicans (or independents)… Continue reading On the cusp of something historic
