Some Interesting Sites

Since I have a bit of time this morning, I thought I would direct my readers to a couple of interesting sites. The first is the blog of Matthew Hayday from Mount Allison University. He’s a post-doctoral fellow in Canadian Studies and has written a book called Bilingual Today, United Tomorrow: Official Languages in Education and Canadian Federalism (a copy of which is sitting on my kitchen table). It’s one thing for me to ramble on about Quebecois culture and language issues, but Matthew has the credibility to back up his analysis. He’s also been rather helpful as I’ve searched for potential essay topics for my MA application, so check out his site. I think it’s a worthwhile read.

The next comes from Larry Savage from Brock University. I’d gotten an e-mail over the past few weeks, indicating that he would like to put a link to my blog on his site and since I welcome new readers, I gave him the thumbs up to do so. I’ve skimmed his entries over the past week or so and it looks like a pretty interesting blog in its own right. He’s definitely more tech-savvy than I am, so if you like audio and video clips as well as interesting commentary, then I encourage you to visit his site, as well.

I’ll be starting one of my translation courses tonight, so we’ll have to see how workload affects my blogging output. As OJ has been so adept in pointing out, I’ve been AWOL for a good chunk of the holiday season. With any luck, I’ll be able to put things together on a more consistent basis as my humble blog enters its second year of existence. Til next time…
