I need more cancon in my daily reading.
The "A-list" of bloggers approximates the "A-list" of American bloggers, and I want to round out what I'm reading with a Canadian perspective. I find myself reading a lot of interesting blogs from Americans but I'm always sort of an extra step removed, so I want to find the best of the Canadian blogosphere. Stuff I'm already reading includes Accordion Guy, Michael Geist, MoCo Loco, Said The Gramophone... and there I sort of run out.
I'm specifically interested in things that might be categorized as news, science/tech, left politics, law, food, automotive and motorcycle, modern home design and architecture, books and libraries, music, and the Canadian equivalents of Kottke, Anil Dash, and folks like that.
What should I be reading?
canadians i read
warrenkinsella.com (sometimes)
andrewspicer.com (sometimes)
mirabilis.ca
and probably others who I don't remember the locale of and are therefore STEALTH CANADIANS
I personally like
mendel myself.
Also: The absolutely fascinating DICK HARDT HAS MORE MONEY THAN YOU blog.
A book?
Sorry, I just have this reflexive twitch whenever I read the phrase "A-list blogger".
And yeah, I read about Canadian current events and culture offline too, but mostly magazines like The Walrus, Geist, and Maisonneuve -- I just felt like I might be missing out on good online Canadiana. Books and magazines I know;
