Just writing to all of you to inform you of the passing of and to say goodbye to one of my past Progressive Blogger members, and political activist Kenn Chaplin; he passed away a couple of days ago. He wrote a blog called “My Journey With AIDS” a while back,

The NDP is having a policy convention this weekend (so are the Liberals in what must have been a scheduling snafu). The NDP membership has once again put forward policies concerning the Canadian Monarchy to be debated. The following is a summary of the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Good And no,

Please welcome our new blog affiliate – Northern Currents – run by Josh.It’s been awhile since I’ve had the pleasure of doing this, as blogs have waned in social media popularity since their heyday a decade / 15 years ago. Still, some of us are still around, and we welcome

Hi folks: Iv’e been away and absorbed with personal matters the past 2-3 days and did not notice until I checked my email now (and saw the last 2-3 pages of the last 2-3 days) that 1 affiliate of Progressive Bloggers was mass posting and virtually crowding out every other

We’d like to welcome back James Laxer. He was a blogging affiliate and then stopped blogging in 2012, but has decided to resume his blogging career. Please also welcome our newest affiliate: Against The Grain
Continue readingApologies for being away a week (or 2)
As you might have seen the past 10 days – 2 weeks , our site was not updating blogposts from our affiliates’ feeds. Basically, the database went screwy… we suspect the server was compromised, and out of an abundance of caution we were working to rebuild and restore, ensuring none

It’s Friday, so this is a quick break from politics for a worthy cause. On New Year’s Day I’m taking an ice cold dip, to help raise some nice warm roofs. I’m raising money for Habitat for Humanity so they can continue to bring a…

I wanted to post this to our frontpage. Alheli Picazo has been a blogging affiliate of ours for a fair # of years, though she has gone in fits and spurts.. and this is partially due to her health issues she has suffered. Those have come to a head, as

I’d like to welcome back an old blog affiliate of mine: “Woman At Mile 0”. It’s been 2007 since there was a blogpost on here as she stepped away from blogging, but her daughter, Chantelle Halvorson, has re-started the blog.. so please give her a read and your support.

Ontario isn’t as GD senseless as Saskatchewan’s government. They actually have somewhat of a Feed In Tariff program underway. The Ontario Power Authority has just extended its solar feed-in tariff program and selected another 99 MW of solar power projects to receive payments from it. This comes from 330 new

When financial people mention “sunk costs,” they refer to expenditures that cannot be recovered. Almost 15 years ago, BC politicians learned the investment of hundreds of millions for fast ferries had to be reclassified. If the PacifiCats had not themselves sunk, their costs had. That outcome provided a field day
