I’m getting a little tired of this layout. It doesn’t lend itself to rapid updates, which is maybe why I don’t do them. Glenn Gould and discarded newspapers, outside the CBC Broadcast Centre, Toronto. Do any American tourists know what this is? Probably not, ’cause they’re too busy riding in rickshaws that have ads like […]
some light reading
The past few days I read two very interesting articles. One was called Power Steer and is about the production of beef in the US. It was pretty chilling, but very very well-written. I’ve since been reassured by some people that Canada does not produce beef like this, thankfully. I don’t think I’ll be buying […]
