Napoleon, Sulla, and Political Gridlock Today

Why the left-right spectrum is an obsolete trap—and what we can learn from the collapse of the French and Roman systems.

Donovan Street Press Inc.

From 1789 seating charts to Roman civil wars, a historical look at why the left-right political spectrum is an obsolete trap—and why it’s time for fusion. (A direct result of eleven hours in an emergency ward reading about Napoleon.)

11 Hours in a Moncton Emergency Waiting Room

An 11-hour ER wait measured in Napoleonic conquests, $5 chips, and a surprising eye diagnosis. A dryly witty look at New Brunswick healthcare efficiency.

I think we all do the same mental calculation when something disturbing ails us: Is a visit to the emergency room really necessary? Because we all know what that entails. Many hours of waiting, only to find out (maybe) at the end that we didn't really need to be there.

I spent 11 hours in the emergency room of a Moncton hospital this past Saturday. It was probably good that I went.

But did it really have to take 11 hours? (Link in comments)

A gift from cartoonist Graham Harrop! Stay tuned for news about his upcoming Annie & Chesney collection, coming soon from Donovan Street Press.

I'll be conducting an Audiobook Workshop -- basically, how to record an audiobook yourself -- the afternoon of Sunday, June 14th at the LeFurgey Cultural Centre in Summerside, in association with Summerside Arts Fest.

We'll cover the entire process from beginning to end: the gear, the recording, the edit, mastering, platforms and more.

Registration is $50 per participant. To register or find out more, email [email protected].

It's not too late to get your tickets for TriCon Halifax this weekend!

Not only will we have a vendor table to show off all of our quality books (including a limited print of one that's not even published yet!)…

And not only will we be travelling with authors Mark A. Rayner and Paul Burns...

We'll also be doing an author reading AND attending panels and Blue Pencil sessions.

Will we see you there?
