, January 3, 2012

In addition to trying to rejuvenate this blog, I’ve been working on a couple of others. If you feel like killing some time on the web, I invite you to pay them a visit. First of all, I’ve been working on rebuilding a site called democracy101.ca. I launched the site back in April, but I […]

Memories of Jack

, August 22, 2011

I haven’t written much in this space lately, and to tell you the truth, I’m not sure how much more writing I’ll end up doing. But when it comes to paying tribute to a great man on a very sad day, I’ll gladly and gratefully make an exception. Everyone, it seems, has got at least […]
