Have a look at Christina Martin’s new video. I think she has a lovely voice, and I really like this song.
After you listen, I hope that you’ll head over to Much More Music and vote for this video on their top 10 program. It’s currently #5 with a bullet. (I don’t [...]

Hello Everyone!

The Liberal Party of Canada has a new leader in Dr. Michael Ignatieff, who has been a academic at Cambridge, Harvard, Oxford, and the University of Toronto, as well as an author and documentary filmmaker.
If you believe that global warming is the most pressing issue facing humanity — or if you’re just tired of the [...]
My letter to The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean*

Her Excellency
The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., C.D.
Governor General of Canada**
Your Excellency:
As a Canadian, I am asking you to refuse Prime Minister Harper’s expected request to prorogue parliament.
My position is simple. The Conservative Party of Canada has lost the confidence of parliament, and that’s not likely to change even if the House of [...]
The Canadian Constitution supports the Liberal-NDP Coalition

From Dr. Peter Russel, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto…

“May you live in interesting times” is an old curse often attributed to the Chinese. These are interesting times in Canada, as we’re embroiled in a so-called constitutional crisis even as our economy tanks.

The ridiculous nature of the Canadian electoral system — often called first past the post — means that our current government enjoys [...]

OK… so I’ve been licking my wounds for a week, saddened that my countrymen and women would return the Conservative Party to power, though only with a minority government, my one consoltation.
But it was a very near thing.
In many ways, the Canadian electoral system is perverse; with only 37 percent of the vote, the first-past-the-post [...]
