And so, Labour Day, we meet again...

...and underemployed as I still am, I find myself busy enough even today.

I don't recall having heard about a Labour Day parade this year thus far, although it would not surprise me to find that PSAC and other like-minded organizations have set it up. These things in Ottawa tend to be better organized than attended, much to my continuing dismay.

(If you want to see for yourselves, I've got at least one photo set from a previous parade here.)

More thoughts later...

Update: Have since learned of when and where, and this time 'round, I'll be too late getting there. Which stinks to some extent, but can't really be helped.

Besides, it's allergy season again and I'd be distracted from paying proper attention to the festivities. :-(

On the Radio: Another Era Endeth

What I saw earlier on Facebook is now confirmed:

The Current is losing its Voice.

If you're a regular CBC Radio One listener, you already know what this means. If not, the link will lead to a partial explanation. I hope there's a successor in the wings, and if there is? Whoever it is, we'd better give them a fair and decent chance to acquit themselves.

Historical note: As of 2016, that article is no longer available at CBC's web services. Maybe the Internet Archive might have preserved it...?
