Ottawa

The way we were, and more or less still are

The sketches that appear here most weekdays when the House is in session have now been neatly filed to appear in one place at this link.

The collection stretches back to the spring of 2008—The Commons claimed a seat in the press gallery in the fall of 2007, but owing to a system change the records are bit less than comprehensive—and presently includes something like 238 vignettes of this time in and around Ottawa. That’s probably something like 200,000 words (I will be wildly satisfied if something near 10% of those words remain worth reading) and I will take this opportunity to thank all who have read any of them.
