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.

Any views expressed here are my own.
View Article  'Chocolate: Taste the fury!'

Editor Sasha Nagy did much of the blogging. He grabbed snippets off CP24 (a CTVglobemedia property) and a screencap photo from CTV (my employer) of the victim being wheeled on a gurney.

If this was meant to be a citizen journalism exercise, however, citizens didn't appear to contribute any hard information.

If you live in t-dot and use the TTC regularly, please answer me this: How often do you see TTC special constables on the subway?

An inspired mashup of Raging Bull and Fred Flinstone. Enjoy!

View Article  Another global warming 'skepticism' argument shot down

Antarctica was supposed to be the one continent that wasn't warming. Unfortunately, a new study suggests the southern cap of the world is indeed heating up.
