Maps and Politics

First, I spotted a new French-language magazine that appeals to me judging by what little I understood of the content: Carto: le Monde en Cartes. Seems to be a hard-copy thing that does for francophones around the world what strangemaps does on the Net for the "anglosphere". Not sure what the URL for the new magazine's website is yet, so if any of you spot it before I do, please leave me a link?

Second, a link to an essay by Don Newman, former host of CBC Newsworld's Politics show. A bit of a history lesson, although some may not agree with the perspective on offer.

More on other stuff as the day wears on...
