who employs me
I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.
View Article  Maggie Siggins lives in a half-way house?

Maggie Siggins, author of A Canadian Tragedy: Colin and Jo Ann Thatcher, had this to say about Colin, the just-paroled murderer, on CBC Radio's As It Happens:

He's living in Regina in a half-way house, which is where I live ...

I didn't know that Maggie had recently done time. But I'm delighted she's out and that her and Colin are trying to rejoin society! :)

View Article  When women design men's washrooms

The accompanying text:

Edge Designs is an all-women-run company that designs interior office space. They had a recent opportunity to do an office project in NYC. The client allowed the women of this company a free hand in all design aspects.

The client was a company that was also run by all women execs.

The result?

Well, we all know that men never talk and never look at each other, and never laugh much in the restroom. The men's room is a serious and quiet place.

But now, with the addition of one mural on the wall, let's just say the men's restroom is a place of laughter and smiles!

Laughter and smiles? Men's washrooms are a place of business. Serious, serious business that requires a great deal of concentration and attention to the matter at hand (hence the quiet). And nobody will use the one with the camera in front.

(Thanks, Harvey!)
