Spread the word: Obama for President

After watching tonight’s special Barack Obama broadcast, it is clear what Americans must do on November 4. I have therefore decided to re-post this message for my American friends and readers here as well:
Those who have watched Barack Obama’s special TV broadcast tonight will have a better idea of what he stands for and what [...]

Learn how to spell!

The blogosphere is full of illiterate people. I also find that the more extreme they are, either on the left or right, the more problems they have spelling words in their mother tongue correctly.
Take a look at this post on Michelle Malkin’s blog. The post is a gratuitous attack on Barack Obama over a trivial [...]

I didn’t know I was this popular in the U.S.

Anonymous bloggers — lowlifes of the blogosphere

Just as a quick follow-up for Victor and anyone else who may make assumptions about me in the future:

I decided a while ago to focus more and more on my Web Columns and spend less time writing blog posts in the traditional sense.
I think the time has come to [...]

Read my latest Web Column about the disaster also known as the Liberal Party of Canada (also available here and here).

New design and look for “Letters from Canada”

Good news for the readers of my German blog, Briefe aus Kanada: I have relaunched it with a new look and feel. I hope you all like it.

It’s all in a day’s work

You have to love it: I woke up to big snowflakes this morning, only to see them fade away and spring re-emerge, which then turned into a brief spell of summer, followed by autumn. Tonight we’ll probably return to winter.
Only in Calgary can you experience all four seasons in a single day — which is [...]
