I was hoping to have something more interesting to put up here tonight, but unfortunately it didn't work out. Tomorrow I'm leaving on a plane for a far-off place for the next week. I have my camera, and with any luck I'll be blogging, posting pics and maybe even some videos if I can figure out how to work YouTube. I hope everyone has a nice relaxing holiday break with their loved ones. It has been another great year for me personally, there's so much to be thankful for, and it was definitely the most interesting political year I can remember in my lifetime -- at least for Canadian domestic politics.
Check back here in a day or two for an update from across the world.
I'm not going to do a year-end recap or anything like that. Those are best left to the magazines like Maclean's. But one last thing -- regarding the controversy about Time naming "You" -- meaning those of us who use interactive Internet tools -- as the person of the year: I'm for it. I think the Internet, blogs, YouTube, and all the rest of the new technology is the greatest force for democracy and freedom we have ever seen. We should celebrate it.
I also think Time had it right on its Candian newsmaker of the year: Stephen Harper is turning out to be a remarkable Prime Minister. I say this as someone who had been quite skeptical of him in 2004-2005. I very much look forward to what he has in store for 2007.
