My quest to engage in democracy continues… February 11, 2010

And so today my quest to engage in our democratic processes as a voting citizen of this fine nation continued. (Hmmm…perhaps too much Stephen Colbert lately). It began with me making a polite phone call to the Deputy Prime Minister’s office. I very nicely explained who I was and why I was calling. First, the […]

However, to avoid another Rant from Wendy post here’s something a little domestic yet I’m sure you’ll agree no less fascinating. This year upon going back to work I […]
