LSS Podcast – Tasha Kheiriddin

I’ve been neglectful of my podcasting duties! There are a few more podcasts from Peter Jaworski’s Liberty Summer Seminar to release and this one is at the foundation of the conservative movement as Tasha Kheiriddin discusses the infrastructure of liberty. This Ontario director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is co-writing a book with fellow Blogging Tory Adam Daifallah on establishing and supporting conservative/libertarian foundations in this country. The book is called Rescuing Canada’s Right and will no doubt be intensely promoted on Blogging Tories when it is released.

You can get the podcast by subscribing to the Blogging Tories podcast feed (instructions are here)

Or, you can download and listen to the audio file directly

The next step

I’ve been invited to speak on the media panel at the Manning Centre’s annual private roundtable discussion in Toronto next month. Preston Manning was kind enough to call me on Monday and give me the details. I’ll be preparing a presentation on the Blogging Tories and its importance towards supporting the conservative movement in Canada. I’m particularly looking forward to the discussions with Canada’s top conservative thinkers, supporters and activists as I’m certain that we’ll be building something to make all conservatives proud. The Manning Centre was established with the objective of spreading conservative values and training conservative activists so that right-wing parties win 2 out of 3 elections in Canada.

CBC Lockout blogging

I haven’t been thinking too much about the CBC lockout and its effect on the state-run broadcaster. This seems to be the case with many Canadians. But, what I do find interesting (from a political blogging perspective) is the commentary behind the scenes in the blogosphere. Gerry Nicholls has commentary from the right and Antonia Zerbisias has coverage on the left.

There are also the blogs of the locked out employees here, here, here, here, and here

and even one that’s locked in.

The employees have even started their own news service

There’s even a blog that is encouraging people to put silly buttons on their blogs such as this one:

I’ve remixed a few of these buttons and encourage your to put them on your blogs! You can link them back to this blog post if you like.
