The interview I conducted last weekend with Mayor Margolis is so long I know that only the most dedicated followers of current affairs in Welly World would get more than half way through. So here is the first part; the second half will be posted around this time tomorrow to give you a chance to […]
A limited time offer, brought to you by my wiener dog Chorizo. Chorizo understands that Canadians are often polite to a fault and tend to be reluctant to sink their teeth into a problem when it involves possibly, just maybe, being critical of another Canadian. He would like to offer one free lesson in assertiveness […]
‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through EC, Not a creature was stirring, not even Mike G. The CEO’s office was laid out with care, In hopes that St. Nick would leave someone in the chair. The staff were at home all snug in their beds, As visions of leadership danced in their heads. […]
Holy hannah that was a long interview I did with Welly’s mayor. It will be up in its gigantic glory on this blog tomorrow morning – morning west coast slacker time that is. Some of you will think I’ve put something good in your Christmas stocking, while others will see it as a lump of […]
If you have checked in to read my interview with Welly Mayor Bob Margolis, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a day or two longer. I have a few factual claims that I need to chase down before I feel confident that I have done my research thoroughly. Don’t worry – it will be worth […]
I said I’d wade in, and now I can report that I have. I estimate I’m about up to my belly button, which is not so deep that I am in danger of drowning, unless someone ties a rock around my neck and gives me a good shove. Yesterday I spent an enlightening hour-plus with […]
As you know, I have set myself a BIG GOAL while in Welly World: to wade through the swamp grass and try to find the ducks – the ducks that are fighting over the piece of land on the northeast corner of South Shore and Pierson. I’ve trolled all over the web, looking for any […]
This blog is usually reserved for my own ruminations and opinionations, but I do make exceptions on a need-to-share basis. The press release below represents a point of view with which I sympathize, to the degree that I will in no way be attending, speaking about or even acknowledging again the event to which Claartje […]
Boy that didn’t take long. I hadn’t been here 24 hours before I found myself being chased by a security guard at the Global Dressage Festival site, aka the Equestrian Village. Or rather, being chased off. It was my first day here in Welly World and I thought I should do a little reconnaissance to […]
Well, it looks like I won’t be getting offered that plum job as the next CEO of EC, despite the at-least five minutes spent carefully drafting my application last week. It’s probably just as well, though. It’s a beast of a commute from Vancouver to Ottawa, and hell would have to freeze over before I’d […]
