Good to see she’s got a blog this week, as she posts about the goings-on in Saskatoon around the JUNO awards. The awards show time […]

When the large public relations firm Edelman went into a protective silence instead of engaging its critics over a pro-Wal-Mart blog, it reminded me of HAL, the computer in 2001, A Space Odyssey.
HAL was just doing his job.  But we learn in the next movie (or book, for Arthur C. Clarke fans) that HAL’s psychotic […]
