Hello all,
Now that our message is getting into the mainstream media, which all the MPs monitor, the Coalition would like as many of our members as possible to each email all 308 of them.
The Coalition has posted two Excel files for the English and French MPs respectively on Arc’s website so you will have easy access:
Includes a short story by Shane Neilson entitled “Poet.”

Apparently Twitter is the way to go—so much so, it’s becoming it’s own form of writing. Sigh. You can tell you’ve been around too long when new techs like this pop up and you just can’t bear to get involved. Dude, you think, I’m already blogging my fucking arse off. ANOTHER time sucker? I can’t do it. I just can’t. But there’s always someone new-to-everything in line behind you, ready to steal your readers with a pared down version of what you’re doing. Sheesh. I feel like a newspaper. So out of date and verbose.
