I am a retired web developer with an interest in political and environmental issues in Canada, but with a focus on Alberta, since this is where I live. I have an interest in music, Linux, and play guitar and piano a little bit. Sometimes I try my hand at cooking. My kids are all grown up, and I have three grand-children.

Nova Scotia Power is already aiming to generate 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. While natural gas may play a temporary role in that transition, the long-term plan is to switch to hydrogen.

Fracking for Profit: The Fraser Institute's Push in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia Power is already aiming to generate 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. While natural gas may play a temporary role in that transition, the long-term plan is to switch to hydrogen. Across the province — and the globe — it’s clear we’re moving away from fossil fuels.

Alberta needs to stop false advertising and support real solutions

The Tell the Feds campain being run by Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government is being well received in Nova Scotia.

The kicker? There is zero evidence to support Alberta’s claims for Nova Scotia and the declarations being made about Alberta are easily disputable. This puts the campaign in the arena of misinformation and propaganda...

Men's groups research

Thank you for your interest! I'm writing a series of articles on broadly defined "men's health issues."

Unless you choose to allow me to use your name I will not be naming you. Even if you do choose to allow your name to stand, I may not identity you. If you are willing to be contacted for follow-up interviews or other research I'm doing, please leave your name and email. Rev.
