I have acquired a huge backlog of things to write about, which ironically is more paralyzing than enabling. All sorts of drafts and re-writes are rolling around in my head, and I hope to have this blog up and running again with semi-regular posts in short order. Thank you for your patience.

In the mean time, I leave you with this quick prediction. With so much environmental, economic, and political uncertainty in the world right now, it’s hard to know where anything is headed. I can, however, confidently foresee the following. Having now endorsed not just one, but two Liberal leaders as prime minister, Jack Layton will oppose his own inclusion in the next televised leaders’ debate. You heard it here first.
