Quebec’s quarrel isn’t with Canada

Canadians are suddenly fretting about the spectre of Quebec separatism, 10 years after Quebecers very nearly voted to split this country. A startling poll by L�ger Marketing this week found an absolute majority of Quebecers, 54 per cent, claim to favour separation. Another public opinion survey by the CROP polling firm, put it at 47 per cent.
Either way, federalists have reason for concern.
The polls confirm the damage done by Prime Minister Paul Martin’s scandal-tainted Liberal party through the sponsorship scandal. While most Canadians are disgusted, Quebecers are especially resentful. The Jean Chr�tien government spent $250 million to wave Canadian flags in their faces while well-connected federal Liberals dipped into the ad budget to line their own pockets and the party’s coffers.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
