After a year of travelling around (Blantyre, Malawi; Grise Fiord, Nunavut; Portland, Oregon) it is nice to settle in one place for a bit. I am now working at CBC Charlottetown - where stories are less headline-grabbing then the kind of things I was working on in Montreal (ie the story on Nazi soap that I pitched that became the top story in Montreal). Working in a smaller centre lets me work on the art of radio: soundscapes. I am very privileged to be working with the afternoon show on the Island - Mainstreet. It is with this show that I have been able to work on soundscapes - something I was able to do at CBC in Labrador as well.

I have not updated the website for a while and so have decided to add a few of the pieces that are more current - as well as ones I should have added a while ago. Here are a few links to some-what recent articles (Toronto Star, In Toronto magazine) and soundscapes (CBC) I have been done recently. Many others I am not able to link to because they are not published on the web.

Minister of National Defence Peter MacKay was wrong in saying that the Canadian Forces did not hand over Afganistanian prisoners to Afgan forces that later tortured them. The forces later admitted that this did happen.

The RCMP was not too pleased with their watchdog's report. Paul Kennedy, chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, released a report saying that the police at the Vancouver airport were too quick to resort to a stun gun.
