don't quit your day job

Liberal MPs Ralph Goodale, Judy Foote and David McGuinty address reporters, and one easily distracted columnist armed with an iPad and the ArtStudio app, over the lunch hour.

If Monday’s slow at work, feel free to check out two outside projects from your Inkless servant. In this month’s Literary Review of Canada, I review John English’s new Trudeau biography. (The review opens with a hilarious extended riff about what we really need is a new Robert Borden biography. Thigh-slapper! One problem: As he hastens to point out in a rebuttal in the print edition, John English already wrote a Borden biography. Whoopsie.) Over on CPAC, last week I interviewed Ben Rowswell, the current Representative of Canada in Kandahar, in preparation for the big Coyne-Wells extravaganza in Halifax next week. This interview amounts to my debut as a teevee host, rather than just a guest. You can survey the wreckage over here.

Smooth.
