Another Awesome Blog...
I haven't pointed to many blogs lately, but in honour of Andrew Coyne's Ali-like return to the ring, I thought I'd point to an awesome new blog - that of Monte Solberg, MP (future P.C.). The only blog by a politician that actually seems "real".
Anyways, this is good news only because I was collecting some stats awhile back, and I came to conclude that less than a thousand people actually read blogs written by Canadian Conservatives. That's pretty sad, but it's only expected because all of the popular blogs are written by 'ordinary' people. There aren't many blogs out there that are written by newspaper columnists (Coyne) or elected officials (Solberg). And it's particularly nice to see Solberg operate a blog because he's the second or third most significant member of the Conservative Caucus, being the finance critic and all.
Blogs in Canada have been slow in getting off the ground and will only reach the mainstream once more people like Coyne and Solberg actively post.
