It feels to me like just a rebranding to go with a new host, but today, CBC Radio is starting anew with their Sunday morning current affairs talk show. Michael Enright has moved on to new projects with the CBC, and Piya Chattopadhyay is his successor as host of the renamed Sunday Magazine.
She's been guest-hosting everything from The Current to Q to TVOntario's The Agenda, as well as hosting her own show on Radio One for four-five years, Out in The Open. All of this leaves me thinking that she's been training up for something of this scope and scale all that time. And now we're here.

Blogging Anniversary of Note
Sep. 7th, 2020 09:02 pmA friend of longstanding going back to - I think - Usenet times just noted an anniversary today: Elayne Riggs notes that this is the 18th anniversary of the start of her internet life's weblogging component.
Well done, Elayne! Hopefully, despite all manner of chaos these past few years and expected in the decades to come, we will both manage to keep living long and maybe even prospering a little (more than we have been up to now)!

Oh, thank heaven. It's his birthday coming up, not his obituary!
I said it in person years ago, but saying it again here: thank you, Mr. Pinsent!

Canada Day 153
Jul. 1st, 2020 08:26 amSo here we are at the latest anniversary of the signing of the Confederation agreements that many of us see, with encouragement from our federal government, as the anniversary of modern Canada's founding.
Some of us, like Luanga Nuwame, see it as cause for celebration.
Others, such as Kerry Benjoe, have just cause to see it as a day for mourning if not rage. Whether they do or not is a choice that's not mine to make.
Still more are apathetic to the whole business of it, seeing it as just another day in their lives.
However you see this day, I hope that it's kind to you.
(Sidebar: I wish we had an avatar for "contemplative" that did not involve smiling. It seems improper in moments like this one.)

Happier birthdays to fajrdrako!
Sep. 24th, 2019 08:19 pmI think we've known each other as fellow comics and SF fen since a couple of years after I moved to Ottawa, although I knew of for a few years before that from the letter columns of comic books I'd read and enjoyed.
Many more and happier birthdays to you, I hope!

Canada Day 152
Jul. 1st, 2019 11:04 amCanada Day.
Some of you are celebrating this anniversary. Some of you simply commemorate it. Still others among you lament its existence...some with far more just cause than others, I'm sorry to recall.
In any case, I wish that this particular instance, today, is kind to you.
Unless you're a dedicated Nazi, Klansman or Putinist looking to make trouble. If you're in those three categories, I suggest you repent of that. Otherwise...?

Two bits of good news.
Aug. 29th, 2018 09:03 pmI am reminded that Canada has a prime minister who understands what news services exist for.
Ottawa had a Pride parade this past weekend. Some networking among faith groups happened with no small degree of joy there. I'm sorry that I wasn't there in person to see it, but I'm glad to know that it happened.
