Link of the Day: Kids in the Hall Audio Archive
I guess “nostalgia” is the most appropriate word with which to describe a site like this one. For one thing, it’s an audio archive, and you sure don’t see a lot of those anymore. For another, it’s an audio archive based on a great show that went off the air fifteen years ago. Also, the […]

Malcolm Allen becomes the fourth NDP MP to get on the right side (buckle up, this is a long one)

“Our political system is incredibly accessible”
I mentioned a book called The Art of the Possible by one Amanda Sussman in a previous post. Picking up from where I left off, I’d like to share another passage from the book, simply because it’s as highly relevant now as ever. “The notion that our government is open only to a few is […]

Link of the Day: Word Out
I wish I’d known more about Word Out before it closed up shop for the season. It’s a teen reading program offered throughout the summer by the Toronto Public Library, and they recently announced that they’ll be returning in 2011. Stay tuned for what will no doubt be another great season.
