Just a reminder to stop by Crandall Public Library tonight for "Canada's Colorful Political History" at 7 p.m. This visual presentation will look at Canada's unique political system and offer a preview of the coming federal election. We'll also talk about recent US/Canada events.

Canada’s multiparty political system is very unique and sometimes produces unexpected results. With a federal election coming later this year, and recent news regarding US/Canada relations, there should be plenty to talk about.

If you live in the Glens Falls area: I will host a one-hour presentation on Canadian politics at Crandall Public Library next Wednesday (March 12). The event -- “Canada’s Colorful Political History” -- will be held in the downstairs Community Room at 7 p.m.

It was an honor to work with these two gents on a contest judging committee at the APSE winter meeting in Orlando this week -- Barry Bedlan of the Associated Press (center) and John Bednarowski of the Marietta Daily Journal (right).

I believe this is the break for the four-nations faceoff, isn't it? I'm looking forward to this. Not better than a Rangers game, but better than watching the Senators play the Salt Lake City Whatever-They-Ares. Certainly beats an all-star game.
