Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Moving Home (December 2006)
When I was accepted for grad school, we were pretty lucky to find an apartment that a young woman was giving up (I think she’d done a semester and became a “Christmas grad”) so when I started my program in January, we were not only able to assume her lease but buy out a lot […]
“You ar a good liberein”
Shea and I did a pretty major weeding of our kids’ book collections recently and I ended up giving a bunch to one of the teachers who regularly comes into my library (who also happens to teach at the school my kids go to so I have a soft spot for that school to begin […]
Friday Fun Link – Elections Fun
A variety of ways to look at the results. How would proportional representation have shaped the results (always with the caveat that even PR supporters like myself have to acknowledge parties knowing the election was happening under PR would change strategies and the results so it’s hard to map FPTP results onto PR models perfectly.)

Winners and Losers of #Elxn43
Usually after an election, there are articles and blog posts about “winners and losers”. But after last night, I feel like we have the rare situation where every party could arguably be said to be both a big winner and a big loser in some very definitive ways.

Pace and I have spent the evening watching YouTube videos of the video games I loved as a kid – here are YouTube videos of three of my all-time favourites:
Perhaps The Single Richest Irony of the Current Federal Election?
The most ironic (and frustrating and hypocritical) thing in this entire election is Liberal supporters who are saying a vote for Jagmeet Singh and the NDP is somehow a vote for Andrew Scheer – as if they hadn’t made electoral reform a *major* plank of their last platform (a platform that got them elected because […]
The Changing Nature of Freedom of Expression: Banning Books Is Anachronistic But Challenges Remain
Good article from The National Post about the changing nature of the debate around Freedom of Expression. What remains is that challenges still come from all sides of the political spectrum. …the bulk of work on freedom of expression is shifting from people who fruitlessly complain about books to attacks on journalists and bloggers. Also […]
