City Author Trusts Readers, so Debut Novel a Challenge

"I shy away from the word difficult, but it does require work from the reader," says [Struan Sinclair], 37, whose given name, pronounced "Stroo-an," has roots in his Scottish family. "I'm interested in what goes on in the brain when we're reading and writing," says Sinclair, who is director of the U of M's New Media Lab. "I think we've just seen the start of it," he says. "People are now coming here to write. You see that in the students in our (various university) programs."

Moose Must Cap Crunch

Last night's game, and Syracuse's ability to upset Manitoba's cart, is a perfect example of how an upset could unfold. [Ross Yates] is a competitor and he's been known to let the inmates run the asylum if it can help his team win a series. He's allowed thug Jon Mirasty to push the envelope during warmups to try and intimidate the opposition, and it's a surprise to us that the Crunch haven't been involved in a pre-game brawl at one point or another over the last two seasons.

Once again Manitoba school trustees have thumbed their noses at the province's warnings about increasing property taxes. The arrogance of this action at a time of economic crisis leads one to question the wisdom of continuing to give school divisions in Manitoba the power to tax when some have consistently abused this privilege. Do we need 38 school divisions and districts, 38 school division offices and over 300 trustees and hundreds of division staff in Manitoba to make education policy dec...

Harper Counts On Hardcore

"And, my friends, don't let anyone tell you that the opposition -- that toxic coalition brew of Liberals, socialists and separatists -- you know, I always wished they would do that and (former Liberal leader Stephane) Dion finally did it -- don't let anybody tell you that they would have done the same things..." "We are evolving every year, every decade," he explained. "That's a fact, whether it is to the intensity of the sun, whether it is to, as a chiropractor, walking on cement versus anyt...
