- BigCityLib fact checks & reads Mark Steyn’s columns at Macleans so you don’t have to. I wonder if he’ll be doing that with recently arrived Colby Cosh as well. He may not be blogging about much else if he takes that on too. - An odd way for the Canadian government to show patriotism with the upcoming Vancouver Olympics: “Canada’s $9.2-million, Olympic pavilion is being bui

If Harper can change his mind on things..
…then I can as well… at least partially, anyhow. The thing I’ve changed my mind on (partially) is using Twitter. I’ve been a rather strong skeptic of Twitter as many of you know. I’ve not seen much use for 140 characters or less,and I’m still not sure I do. However, in talking with one of my Progressive Bloggers affiliates, Matt (who blogs at bastard.logic), he mentioned there was a thing called Twitterfeed, that could retransmit blogposts (or at least, their title and a brief summary) to Twitter.

No excuses for not holding a public inquiry or releasing the unredacted Colvin memos.
Let’s presume for a minute that there are “state secrets” in Richard Colvin’s memos that would harm Canadian national security (a big presumption with this government – anxious to discredit Colvin’s testimony – but like I said, let’s do it for a minute). Is that enough reason to withhold them?
