Some attentive readers will have noticed the below post on the Mayerthrope murders was not written by me. It was written by Keir Wilmut, who has joined this blog as a contributor.
A few weeks ago, I put out a request to have some friends join this blog for the summer while I work at a law firm. With that full time job and the hours it demands, I felt I wouldn't have the time to put into this blog that I would like. So, I asked anyone who shares my ideological outlook and who is an aspiring journalist to join me. I couldn't be happier with who has agreed to come help, and you'll know why when you read their stuff.
The first is Keir Wilmut (see his first post below). Keir recently graduated from law school at the University of Toronto, articled at a major Toronto firm and is now entering the journalism business. Some of you may know him from his work as MTV Canada's political correspondent, or as the runner-up to Deirdra McCracken in last year's Next Great Prime Minister Contest. He's also known as one of Toronto's most eligible bachelors. I have known Keir for several years and respect him greatly. I'm really glad to have him on board.
The second addition is Omar Soliman. Omar recently graduated from U of T and is heading to Columbia University in the fall for a Master's degree in journalism. Omar has been involved in conservative politics for a while, working for Jim Prentice on Parliament Hill and with the Ontario PC Campus Association. His articles have been published in such outlets as the Western Standard and The Hill Times. He is Executive Director of the University of Toronto Churchill Society and he currently works for Warren Kinsella at the Daisy Consulting Group in Toronto.
This summer should be a lot fun. Enjoy!
