In my current work, whenever I refer to the model of a "Public Media Center"--a multi-media, publicly-owned local news outlet--being established in every community across the country, I'm inspired by the actually-existing UCIMC. I describe some of this in the essay: publici.ucimc.org/2025/10/the-...

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

(guy who studies some 18th century composer whose music you can only hear by special appointment at the British Museum) so, radio, huh? What made you write on that? Do people still listen to the radio?
