Automated “poll” about OLP leadership race
Many people are getting called tonight. The caller doesn’t identify who paid for the “poll,” who is behind it, none of that. But it asks lots of questions about first…

Another NDP candidate I’d go work for
…who I have known for 30+ years, in another context. Hope he wins. Dix would be lucky to have a guy with a heart as big as Joey’s.
Sen. Nancy Ruth is heard from again!
…she’s come out in support of an OLP leadership candidate. Which, now that I’m back in Ontario, got me thinking about one of her other public statements…

Open thread on being less than open
Regular commenters will know I am unenthusiastic about commenters who don’t comment using their real name, going way back. I just think that if you’ve got something critical to say,…
Paywall prediction
With most newspapers now erecting pay walls around themselves in 2013 – something that will only ensure that fewer people read them, not more – web sites like this one…
Jago on Stickney
Good catch by Mr. Jago. Will his find be taken up by someone in the MSM? We shall see.

Killer whale totem

North Van: there ain’t no white stuff here!
Morning conference calls now complete, I offer my fellow Easterners a view of Bjorn and Bab’s backyard. No snow in BC, kids!
BC bound
Fireplace off, feet up waiting for lift. Unless I die in a fiery crash, see you on the Left Coast!
Saying bye at Christmas
