		<title>On Fair Dealing and &#8220;The Dark Country&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at eaves.ca, David Eaves raises some interesting and important questions about journalistic citation, after The Walrus quoted his blog in Gil Shochat&#8217;s &#8220;The Dark Country&#8221; (January/February 2010) without noting the exact source in the piece. In his post, David mentions his perception that journalism operates collaboratively, and cites our oversight as an exception to [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Understatement, To Say The Least</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As mentioned in a previous post, I recently took a course at U of T on modern drama.*I&#8217;ll never reveal my mark, but it was probably a bad sign for one of us that my prof complained on my first paper about there being no letters lower than &#8216;F&#8217;.

The time I&#8217;ve been able to devote to my real work—blogging—has been limited lately thanks to my editing duties, researching a potential politics story for the fall, and studying for a course I&#8217;m taking on modern drama.*Which will, next time some Hollywood-approved star shows up in Ottawa to decry Bill C-10, prompt some seriously trenchant [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Hard to Be a Saint on a Slave Ship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My friend the Baronist recently loaned me the Simon Schama&#8217;s Power of Art DVDs. The BBC series, which first aired in 2006, crafts episodes around eight seminal works, combining biography, social history, and criticism to give a sense of what made each one significant during its time and what keeps it so today.
