I fear admitting this, but I’m not the least bit interested in the Olympic games this year.
Not too sure why this is. Maybe it is the overwhelming focus on winning at all costs that has turned me off from the Olympics.

Today’s a good day. I haven’t really said that for a few weeks. I always feel exhausted during the January – February stretch.
This year, I decided I would not engage in any travel during the month of February and this has helped greatly.

When asked what I miss most about being an on-campus student at the University of Manitoba, I always answer the chapel at my home college. This year, the chapel at St. John’s College held its annual Christmas Eve [...]

The Toronto Star ran a piece on this topic on Sunday. It did not appear in any of the Google searches I ran prior to posting my own piece entitled “Why the Canadian media is increasing irrelevant”. The graphic attached to the article shows the potential area of the debris field which does not cover [...]

I’m working on a story related to Oshawa continued anti-student posturing tonight. As part of my story, I’m reading all the coverage I did for Maclean’s and getting nostalgic.
Erin Millar and I did an amazing job of covering higher education back in 2007 and 2008. She did an amazing job building that site and we [...]
