I haven’t done much publishing this year on my blog as other social media seems to have taken over. That and I ran in yet another federal election for the NDP and took a lot out of any free time I might have had – not to mention having to park this blog in favour of a campaign page. And Jack Layton’s untimely death put me in a real funk the last few weeks and started me doing a personal evaluation of my public life. Politics, at least on the public side, will take a back seat for a few years. We’ll see where the NDP goes first after Jack. If labour runs the show then I’m gone. If kept to a social democratic and a strongly secular direction with the involvement of business people like myself then I’m in. Simple as that.
Otherwise, I’m out doing public speaking events on secular and business issues as per normal, both two halves of a very public life. Talking secular issues on one hand, bashing the Harper Cons on the other, and fitting in some professional time to talk about spies and cyber crime. What an interesting life I lead.
So I’m back. Expect me to be causing the Harper Cons a great deal of trouble in all aspects of my life. And you never know, this blog might just be another campaign page four years from now. Here’s hoping.
