On CKOM.com’s John Gormley Live, the topic was blogs, and how an author from Calgary slammed blogs as being a detriment to political activism. Well Saskatchewan bloggers phoned and corrected that silly notion.
You need to sign up to be a Newstalk Insider to download the podcast of the radio show. It’s from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM that you need to download.
I phoned up, then Kate from SmallDeadAnimals.com, and the hour ended with Lance of Catprint in the Mash/Saskblogs Aggregator. Several other bloggers from around the province called in, and were mentioned by the callers and John Gormley as recommended reading.
One blogger, Wild Doug, I wrote about quickly about last week I think. They are raising money in the method of One Red Paperclip.

Now doing what I like to do, and that’s journalize my blog, even though it makes it one of those banal blogs that Gormley moaned about today, here’s what I did today…
I drove through blowing snow to LeRoy, stopping at Sheho for a couple pictures, and of course pulling to the side while on the cell phone to the radio show.

I really like the small town SK shots. They are like time travel. It makes me remember way back when I was a young’un and we used to go look at abandoned buildings. There would always be creepy animals in the buildings and it would always creep me out. I always wanted to walk around in the buildings although sometimes they were a bit rickety.

I like doing the small town shots. I found 4 churches in Sheho, and I didn’t take every street so I may have missed one or two.

I wish I was listening live instead of later on. I would have called in to speak to him about gormleywatch.com. I’m sure he would have loved that. :)

While I don’t think we bloggers are lonely people hoping to find a voice in the world, I think to an extent, the political blogging scene is far too partisan and why I usually steer clear of the multitude of partisan sites in the Canadian blogosphere. Partisanship is killing our democracy (just as it is in the U.S.) and most bloggers just follow along and play the same game.
Again, not saying everyone, but the majority of blogs out there just add to the partisan nonsense.
