A group of Canadian celebrities turned out to raise the alarm for cultural sovereignty and to call on the party that wins the Jan. 23 federal election to wave the flag.
Members of ACTRA, Canada’s largest actors union, including Wendy Crewson, Colin Mochrie, Cara Pifko, Sonja Smits, Julie Stewart and RH Thomson, appeared at a Wednesday press conference in Toronto and complained of a decline in Canuck drama programming, a lack of homegrown films as well as the “alarming potential for foreign ownership of Canadian airwaves.”

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.
