There’s an interesting
crossover from Gore’s selection of Lieberman to Canadian politics. Stockwell Day, the new leader of the largest right wing party here, is an Evangelical Christian. And he complains, loudly and often, that reporters ask him about that unfairly (invoking god in the context of politics is viewed with great suspicion here in Canada). Anyhow, the Globe published an interesting editorial about this today: God and politicians.

it’s just me or what, but I seem to hear of or be in the midst of a ton of “small world” situations. But there was one just now that’s pretty weird. Every morning I listen to Daybreak on CBC radio. The regular host is on vacation this week, so a guy named Peter Downey is sitting in. The top story this morning is about a Montreal journalist named Katya who was injured in Lebanon earlier today. So Peter Downey intros the story – they called her for an interview – and it turns out he was her instructor at J-School last year at Concordia University.
