Were Bill Morneau the Conservative Minister of Finance, you can rest assured that ‘progressives’ would be howling for his political blood. However, because he is part of Team Trudeau, some choose to entirely ignore his massive conflict of interest and instead distort my views for their own twisted purposes. One

It seems a fair number of bloggers, or former bloggers, are deciding to try going from their grass/netroots activism and translate that into trying to get elected to office to translate that activism into change at the political level. This week, it is the turn of David Graham to announce

Earlier in the month, I wrote a post in which I reflected upon the affinity and sense of community I feel in the ‘progressive blogosphere.’ Prompted by the Internet connectivity problems I was having at the time, I wrote about how I felt a surprising sense of loss in not

Convention was crazy. I know I said I would liveblog when I could, but it all just went too fast. Sitting down and writing in the face of all that awesome was just not going to happen. It was amazing fun. I met a boy. We elected a leader who

Only 8 – EIGHT! – days until the 2013 Ontario Liberal Party leadership convention in Toronto, & I’m in organized chaos mode trying to figure out payments, fundraising, travel, & so forth. Because I’ve focused more on LGBT blogging & Twitter lately, here are a few random thoughts before I

I must admit that when I first saw the battle over abortion raging at Progressive Bloggers, my first instinct was to duck and cover. Because I’ve seen it all before, and it always ends badly. It’s the kind of fight where the one who tries to break it up ends

@fernhilldammit @DrDawg @Heading_West @Prog_Blog You’re supposedly adults too. Witch hunts against fellow progbloggers is so 2006. — Saskboy K. (@saskboy) April 6, 2012 Some things (and some douche-sombreros) never change. Y’know what else is “so 2006″? Blog aggregators. Cough.* But enough about buggy-whips and the fauxgressives who stubbornly wield them

The NDP is holding their leadership convention on March 23-24 in Toronto, and they put out the word a month or so back that they would be accrediting bloggers to cover their convention. After some consultations, instead of applying as representing my individual blog, I decided to apply to represent
