With advance polls now open, and election day itself looming around the corner, I am pleased at this time to announce my personal endorsement for the Liberal Party of Canada and, in particular, my local candidate, Kent Hehr. Courtesy of The Liberal Party of Canada/Kent Hehr for Calgary Centre There are a number of reasons that I feel the Liberal platform has my best interests at heart.
Last night the Inglewood Community Association hosted another all candidates debate for the riding of Calgary Centre, and something truly remarkable happened: everyone showed up. Kent Hehr for the Liberals, Thana Boonlert for the Greens, Jillian Ratti for the NDP, and yes, Joan Crockatt for the Conservatives.

I attended a debate on Wednesday night. Well, I say "debate" but what occurred on the stage (or rather, in front of it, since it wasn't wheelchair accessible) at the B'nai Tikvah Temple in Calgary's neighbourhood of Britannia would be more accurately described as a series of tiny stump speeches.

Batten down the hatches! Hide the fine china! Alert the minutemen! And for God's sakes, somebody get Lloyd Robertson on the phone, I don't care how old he is; we need that soothing silver fox now more than ever.

Today is my birthday, and there is one thing you can all do for me that would make me the happiest clam in the ocean. Vote. Today, advance polls are open 9AM-8PM in Alberta's provincial election, ahead of the final election day on Tuesday, May 5th (9AM-8PM as well). For those of you who are concerned with watching the Flames play their hockey game at home, now is a good time to get this out of the way so you're not rushing around on Tuesday. Voting is one of the most important thi
Dating is hard, you guys. Oh, I know that these days it's supposedly never been easier to meet people, though if we're being completely honest it would be far more accurate to say that it's never been easier to creep the every-loving-hell out of people from their body measurements to their social security numbers.
