I read an article titled “Trouble on the right as Toryism unravels” at Rabble.ca just now, and it was an interesting look at the lost positive side of conservativism. I recommend you read this piece from a writer for The Chronicle Herald, Halifax’s independant news paper.
Also on the topic of Canadian politics, the National Library of Canada has interesting articles about Sir John A. Macdonald and Joseph Howe, two important leaders during the formation of Canada. I was able to learn much I did not know about their work and stances that has given me a better understanding of that time.
The Trews will be performing on the ECMA‘s February 15 at 8 p.m. A.S.T. on CBC They are a great live act, so I’m sure you’ll be impressed by them in you tune in. Matt Mays & El Torpedo and Great Big Sea will also be performing. Notable awards nominees include Buck 65 (male artist, alternative album), The Trews (new artist / group, rock recording), and Sloan (too many to name).

Thanks for the heads up on this … I was over at rabble today … mighty upset by the way things are stacking up., yaa? I don’t see this item (it’d be great to get more locals into rabble)
p.s. you post to
I think things are going to take some unexpected turns in the coming months. There is plenty to be very concerned about, but I think we’ll also see some pleasant surprises.
I actually created the Nova Scotia community, but I tend not to post in it, except with things relating specifically to this province.
Yaa, hear you.
If I had found that item I would have slanted it to get folks to rabble … “Hey! Look at this! A writer from the Chronically Horrid writing in a national venue!”

Oh say, a friend paid my LJ dues for a couple of months as a Xmas present, so I’ve got access to some of those features for a while: I searched LJ for folks who a) live in NS, b) have posted in the past month: 78 between ages 25 – 90, 64 22 – 24, 73 20 – 21, and 178 18 – 19.
