He is the leader of the Pat Metheny Group and is also involved in duets, solo works and other side projects. His style incorporates elements of progressive and contemporary jazz, Latin jazz, and jazz fusion. Metheny has three gold albums and 20 Grammy Awards and is the only person to win Grammys in ten different categories. He is the brother of jazz flugelhornist and journalist Mike Metheny.
Metheny was born and raised in Lee's Summit, Missouri, a suburb southeast of Kansas City. At age 15, he won a Down Beat scholarship to a one-week jazz camp and was mentored by guitarist Attila Zoller. Zoller invited the young Metheny to New York City to see guitarist Jim Hall and bassist Ron Carter. Following his graduation from Lee's Summit High School, Metheny briefly attended the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida in 1972, where he was offered a teaching position. He then moved to Boston to take a teaching assistantship at the Berklee College of Music with jazz vibraphonist Gary Burton. He established a reputation as a prodigy when he was with Burton.
In 1974 he made his recording debut on an album unofficially titled Jaco with pianist Paul Bley, bassist Jaco Pastorius, and drummer Bruce Ditmas for Carol Goss's Improvising Artists label. Metheny entered the wider jazz scene in 1975 when he joined Gary Burton's band, playing with guitarist Mick Goodrick. Metheny and Goodrick were interviewed together by Guitar Player magazine in 1975, bringing them to the attention of guitar aficionados around the world.
Metheny released his official debut album, Bright Size Life (ECM, 1976) with Jaco Pastorius on bass and Bob Moses on drums. His next album, Watercolors (ECM, 1977), was the first time he recorded with pianist Lyle Mays, who became his most frequent collaborator. The album also featured Danny Gottlieb, who became the drummer for the first version of the Pat Metheny Group. With Metheny, Mays, and Gottlieb, the fourth member was bassist Mark Egan when the album Pat Metheny Group (ECM, 1978) was released.
When Pat Metheny Group (ECM, 1978) album was released, the Group was a quartet comprising, besides Metheny, Danny Gottlieb on drums, Mark Egan on bass, and Lyle Mays on piano, autoharp, and synthesizer. All but Egan had played on Metheny's album Watercolors (ECM, 1977), recorded a year before the first Group album.
The second Group album, American Garage (ECM, 1979), reached number 1 on the Billboard Jazz chart and crossed over onto the pop charts. From 1982 to 1985, the Pat Metheny Group released Offramp (ECM, 1982); a live album, Travels (ECM, 1983); First Circle (ECM, 1984); and The Falcon and the Snowman (EMI, 1985), a soundtrack album for the movie of the same name in which they collaborated on the single "This Is Not America" with David Bowie. The song reached number 14 in the British Top 40 in 1985 and number 32 in the U.S.
Offramp marked the first appearance of bassist Steve Rodby (replacing Egan) and a Brazilian guest artist, the late Nana Vasconcelos, whose work on percussion and wordless vocals marked the first addition of Latin music shadings to the Group's sound, a trend which continued and intensified on First Circle with the addition of Argentinian singer and multi-instrumentalist Pedro Aznar, which also marked the debut of drummer Paul Wertico, replacing Gottlieb. Both Rodby and Wertico were members of the Simon and Bard Group at the time and had played in Simon-Bard in Chicago before joining Metheny.
Outside the Group, Metheny has shown different sides of his musical personality. He made the album Orchestrion (Nonesuch, 2010) with elaborate, custom mechanical instruments, allowing one person to compose and perform as a one-person orchestra. By contrast, his album Secret Story (Geffen, 1992) used orchestral arrangements found more often in movie soundtracks, such as his own The Falcon and the Snowman (EMI, 1985) and A Map of the World (Warner Bros, 1999). His solo acoustic guitar albums include New Chautauqua (ECM, 1979), One Quiet Night (Warner Bros, 2003), and What's It All About (Nonesuch, 2011). He explored the fringes of the avant-garde on Zero Tolerance for Silence (Geffen, 1994). This, too, was an album of solo guitar, but it was electric guitar, and to many fans and critics it was simply noise. Metheny had ventured into the avant-garde before on 80/81 (ECM, 1980), Song X (Geffen, 1986) with Ornette Coleman, and The Sign of Four with Derek Bailey. He recorded a more mainstream guitar duet with Jim Hall, whose work has strongly influenced Metheny's. He collaborated with Polish folk singer Anna Maria Jopek on Upojenie (2002) and Bruce Hornsby on Hot House (2005).
The long list of his collaborators includes Bill Frisell, Billy Higgins, Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Dewey Redman, Eberhard Weber, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Jaco Pastorius, John Scofield, Joni Mitchell, Joshua Redman, Marc Johnson, Michael Brecker, Mick Goodrick, Roy Haynes, Steve Swallow, and Tony Williams.
In 2012, he formed the Unity Band with Antonio Sánchez on drums, Ben Williams on bass and Chris Potter on saxophone. This ensemble was called the Unity Band and toured Europe and the U.S. during the latter half of the year. In 2013, as an extension of the Unity Band project, Metheny announced the formation of the Pat Metheny Unity Group, with the addition of the Italian multi-instrumentalist Giulio Carmassi.
He is also a fan of several pop music artists, especially singer/songwriters including James Taylor (after whom he named the song "James" on Offramp); Bruce Hornsby, Cheap Trick, and Joni Mitchell, with whom he performed on her Shadows and Light (1980, Asylum/ Elektra) live tour. Metheny is also fond of Buckethead's music. He also worked with, sponsored or helped to make recordings of singer/songwriters from all over the world, such as Pedro Aznar (Argentina), Akiko Yano (Japan), David Bowie (UK), Silje Nergaard (Norway), Noa (Israel), and Anna Maria Jopek (Poland).
Metheny plays a custom-made 42-string Pikasso I created by Canadian luthier Linda Manzer on "Into the Dream" and on the albums Quartet (1996), Imaginary Day (1997), Jim Hall & Pat Metheny (1999), Trio → Live (2000), and the Speaking of Now Live and Imaginary Day Live DVDs. Metheny has used the guitar in his guest appearances on other artists' albums. He used the Pikasso on Metheny/Mehldau Quartet (2007), his second collaboration with pianist Brad Mehldau and his trio sidemen Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard; the Pikasso is featured on Metheny's composition "The Sound of Water". Manzer has made many acoustic guitars for Metheny, including a mini guitar, an acoustic sitar guitar, and the baritone guitar, which Metheny used for the recording of One Quiet Night (2003).

Why Trump's strategy against Iran is likely to fail

Read more about Why Trump's strategy against Iran is likely to fail
While Iranians are suffering from the economic crisis, the US "maximum pressure" strategy is compelling them to rally around the flag, rather than try to "take down the regime". This is not only because the cultural value of resistance is relatively high, but also because the more the Iranian leadership resists foreign pressure, the more legitimacy it gains.

In this chapter, Chuck Freilich presents the regional and global developments and the changes in the nature of the diplomatic and military threats Israel faces that have transformed its strategic environment in recent decades. At 70, Israel continues to face a daunting array of threats, as do few states in the world. Israel has, however, won the battle for its existence and is stronger militarily and more secure today than ever before. Furthermore, it has ties with more states than ever before, including a unique relationship with the United States, and a vibrant economy that has grown rapidly in recent decades, turning Israel into an international leader in high-tech.

THE YEAR before he died in 2017, one of America's leading twentieth-century strategic thinkers, Zbigniew Brzezinski, sounded an alarm. In analyzing threats to American security, "the most dangerous scenario," he warned, would be "a grand coalition of China and Russia…united not by ideology but by complementary grievances." This coalition "would be reminiscent in scale and scope of the challenge once posed by the Sino-Soviet bloc, though this time China would likely be the leader and Russia the follower."

For much of Iran's modern history, the Iranian people have been divided on issues such as traditionalism versus modernity and the nature of their relationship with the West. These divisions only highlight the need for organic political change to allow society to find common ground. However, outside political interventionism has been a constant setback, whether during the Constitutional Revolution period, the 1953 US/UK coup, or now with Trump's exhortations and actions.

Read more about Why Iran isn't Concerned Over US plans for 'Arab NATO'
Having been targeted indirectly by the "leading from behind" policy under President Obama, Iran is now faced with a more organized US effort under Trump to establish a regional setting — an "Arab NATO," the Middle East Strategic Alliance (MESA) — that is supposed to "push back" against Iran. Against this backdrop, however, Iran does not seem worried about US efforts to create MESA. In fact, Washington's new anti-Iran campaign in the Middle East and beyond is interpreted as falling within the "milking logic" of the Trump administration.

From sharply rising tensions with a nuclear North Korea and decertification of the Iran nuclear deal to China's growing global assertiveness and the State Department pullback from projecting American values, such as democracy and human rights, around the world, the United States faces urgent national security challenges.
In a panel discussion Monday evening at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) moderated by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, former members of President Obama's cabinet described what they see as a fraying of alliances, a loss of credibility with allies and enemies, a stepping back as a leader on human rights and democracy, and a relinquishment of diplomacy as a critical component of national security.

What can we expect from Rouhani's second term? The large majority with which he won does not change the basic fact that the number one decision-maker in Iran remains Supreme Leader Khamenei. Ephraim Kam writes to Iran Matters that it is doubtful that Rouhani's large majority will translate into greater power vis-à-vis Khamenei and the regime's radical wing, as the president will likely continue to depend on them.

The Apollo is a quirky, chill bar right downtown on Red River Road. It has couches and is usually not super packed, at least the times I've went there, so it's a great place to just chill and hang out.
They had live entertainment that night. Morgan Orion was playing. I decided to grab a beer and sit down on a couch and listen.
I found out Morgan was an American, like me, and lived in New Orleans. I guess relatively speaking, we lived the same distance apart in drive time as the drive I had completely earlier that day from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay.
This was my first visit to Apollo when there was live entertainment. It was pretty great overall and I had a good time. Other times I visit, it's been great to just relax and talk with friends. On most trips to Thunder Bay, I'll stop here at least once and I know if I want a less crowded place to chill out, this is the place to be.

Santa Maria della Vittoria
Santa Maria della Vittoria was a medieval chapel or small church in Mantua located on Piazzetta di San Simone.
It was built by Marchese Francesco Gonzaga in 1496 in memory of the French army of Charles VIII in the battle of Fornovo. The site had previously been the house of a Jewish moneylender, Daniele da Norsa. Apparently he had overpainted a fresco representation of the Virgin on the façade with his own coat of arms. The ruler at the time, Sigismondo Gonzaga, demanded that the iconic painting be restored, or Daniele would face execution. Despite having accepted the unrefusable offer, a mob razed the house at the site. When Francesco returned, he pardoned the Jew, if he were to fund construction of the chapel . The architect Bernardino Ghisolfi designed the two story edifice. It once housed a famous altarpiece, the Madonna della Vittoria, painted by Mantegna; the painting was looted in 1797, is now at the Louvre.

What Does the NBC Fall 2010 TV Schedule Look Like? Plus, Midseason 2011
by Jason the TVaholic on May 17, 2010
in Network TV, TV Talk
NBC announced their Fall 2010 TV schedule along with new shows coming at midseason yesterday. They have eight new shows for fall and another six coming in 2011.

FOX announced today, ABC tomorrow, and CBS on Wednesday, and The CW on Thursday. Take a look at NBC's offerings. Bold Italic below denotes new shows.
NBC Fall 2010 TV Schedule
Chuck – It may presently only be for 13 episodes, but the fact that it is coming back for a fourth season is good enough for me right now.
The Event – Conspiracy thriller that follows Sean Walker, played by Jason Ritter (The Class, Joan of Arcadia), an Everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancé and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. Sean's quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including: newly elected U.S. President Martinez, played by Blair Underwood (Dirty Sexy Money), Sophia, played by Laura Innes (ER), who is the leader of a mysterious group of detainees; and Sean's shadowy father-in-law, played by Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls). Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind. Ian Anthony Dale (Daybreak, Damages) also star in the ensemble drama.

Undercovers – Acclaimed writer/producer/director J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Fringe, Lost, Alias) serves as co-writer, executive producer – and also directs his first TV series pilot since Lost brings this sexy, fun, action-packed spy drama that proves once and for all that marriage is still the world's most dangerous partnership. Outwardly, Steven Bloom, played by Boris Kodjoe (Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion, Soul Food, Resident Evil: Afterlife) and his wife, Samantha, played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Doctor Who, Bonekickers), are a typical married couple who own a small catering company in Los Angeles and are helped by Samantha's easily frazzled younger sister, Lizzy, played by Jessica Parker Kennedy (Smallville). Secretly, the duo were two of the CIA's best spies until they fell in love on the job five years ago and retired. When fellow spy and friend Nash, played by Carter MacIntyre (American Heiress) goes missing while on the trail of a Russian arms dealer, the Blooms are reinstated by boss Carlton Shaw, played by Gerald McRaney (Deadwood, Major Dad, Simon & Simon) to locate and rescue Nash. The pair is thrust back into the world of espionage as they follow leads that span the globe — and Steven and Samantha realize that this supercharged, undercover lifestyle provides the excitement and romance that their marriage has been missing. Also starring is Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation).

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit – Every time I see this show in this time period, it makes me laugh that NBC canceled Southland stating that the subject matter was too much for the same time period.
Law & Order: Los Angeles – A procedural crime drama that will follow the theme and storylines similar to the canceled Law & Order, but set in Los Angeles.

30 Rock – Takes the place of Parks & Recreation, which has been moved to midseason.
Outsourced – A comedy where the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash. The series centers on the all-American company Mid America Novelties that sells whoopee cushions, foam fingers and wallets made of bacon — and whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India. Todd Dempsy, played by Ben Rappaport (off-Broadway's The Gingerbread House) is the new company's manager who learns that he's being transferred to India to run the operation. Overwhelmed, Todd discovers that his new staff needs a crash course in all things American if they are to understand the U.S. product line and ramp up sales from halfway around the world. But as strange as America seems to his eclectic sales team, Todd soon realizes that figuring out India will be more than a full-time job. Rizwan Manji (Privileged), Sacha Dhawan (BBC's Five Days II), Rebecca Hazlewood (BBC's Doctors), Parvesh Cheena (Help Me Help You), and Anisha Nagarajan (Broadway's Bombay Dreams) also star as members of Dempsy's off-shore team. Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) and Jessica Gower (Network Ten's The Secret Life of Us) additionally star.

Love Bites – Emmy Award-winning writer-producer Cindy Chupack (Sex and the City) brings this hour-long romantic comedy anthology series that features three loosely connected, modern stories of love, sex, marriage, and dating.

Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) stars as Annie and Jordana Spiro (My Boys) stars as Frannie, the last two single girls standing after all of their friends get married. Annie is an infectiously bubbly optimist and Frannie is an always-a-bridesmaid realist. Their story will anchor the series, while other romantically-challenged characters will come and go each week. The pilot's guest cast includes Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer), Greg Grunberg (Heroes), Craig Robinson (The Office), Jason Lewis (Sex and the City), Lindsay Price (Lipstick Jungle), Larry Wilmore (The Daily Show), Charlyne Yi (Knocked Up), Pamela Adlon (Californication), Stacy Galina (Hidden Hills), Brian Hallisay (Privileged), Kyle Howard (My Boys), and Steve Howey (Bride Wars).

Who Do You Think You Are?/School Pride – Executive producers Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Denise Cramsey (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) brings this proactive, alternative series that tells the stories of communities coming together to renovate their aging and broken public schools. While transforming the school, the community also restores its sense of value and school pride. The cameras follow students, teachers, and parents as they roll up their sleeves and rebuild their own schools, concluding with the unveiling of a brand new, completely transformed school. They are motivated by a quartet of community organizers and personalities — SWAT Commander Tom Stroup, interior designer Susie Castillo (House of Payne), comedian and former substitute teacher Kym Whitley ('Til Death) and political correspondent Jacob Soboroff (AMC News). Together, the team of experts will lead the community through the makeover process. Months later, cameras will revisit the school to discover the lasting effects of the transformation — a renewed sense of school pride and an increase in student achievement score.

The Paul Reiser Show – A new single camera comedy from Emmy and Golden Globe nominated comedian-author-producer-actor Paul Reiser (Mad About You) and writer-producer Jonathan Shapiro (Life). The show stars Paul Reiser as…Paul Reiser. It's been a few years since Paul's hit TV series went off the air. Since then, he's been enjoying the quiet life at home with his lovely wife and kids and generally minding his own business. Lately, however, Paul has been thinking that it's time he did something new, something meaningful. As to what that next thing might be, he has no idea. In his quest to figure it out, Paul is helped and hindered by his new "friends." Like most men his age, Paul didn't choose these friends. They're the husbands of his wife's friends, the dads of kids that his boys go to school with.

Canceled Series: Heroes, The Jay Leno Show, Law & Order, Mercy, and Trauma.
Concluding Thoughts: Based on information so far, I am most interested in new NBC Fall 2010 TV shows The Event, Outsourced, and Undercovers. I am also really glad that NBC decided to renew Chuck for a fourth season. As for the midseason shows, I look forward to seeing more about The Cape, Friends With Benefits, and The Paul Reiser Show.

WHAT IS THE FATE OF 'FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS'? THE NEW CAST & STORYLINES HAVE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS ON NBC THAT HAS RECEIVED CONSTANT ACCLAIM, YET THEY CONTINUE TO SCREW IT UP EVERY YEAR?!
3 Jason the TVaholic August 2, 2010 at 7:01 am
BIG_MAC, Well, while NBC didn't really do very well with the show in the beginning, I'm not quite sure what the real complaint is, since they did find a way to keep it around for what will end up being five seasons and 75 episodes. Also, I guess it isn't officially canceled after next season, but that will likely be the end. Pretty good for a great show that nobody watches.

Home / Canadian Politics / Where are the 'good Conservatives,' prepared to speak against their party's race-baiting tactics?
Where are the 'good Conservatives,' prepared to speak against their party's race-baiting tactics?
Posted on October 19, 2015, 12:36 am
PHOTOS: Prime Minister Stephen Harper's tactics have sparked protests, but Conservatives who should know better have been astonishingly quiet. (CommonDreams.org photo.) Below: Former St. Albert MLA Mary O'Neill, Independent MP Brent Rathgeber and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi.
The single most disheartening thing about this long 2015 federal election campaign has been the silence among influential Conservatives about Prime Minister Stephen Harper's deplorable strategy of race baiting to create a wedge issue.
The prime minister rarely did this himself, of course, although his "old stock Canadians" crack came dog-whistle close. But no one with an ounce of sense can deny that the whole niqab brouhaha – self-evidently cynically generated by the Conservative Party's foreign consultants and domestic backroom boys – was designed to do this.
And it is entirely proper, by the way, to use the term racism to describe this strategy, even though, technically, the targets were members of a religion that includes people of all races. Nevertheless, just as "old stock Canadians" was meant to communicate the idea of white Canadians, since the majority of the Islamic religion's adherents in Canada are members of visible minorities, it fair to describe niqab uproar as racist in intent and application.
It should not need to be said that such tactics deserve contempt and public disapprobation from all across the political spectrum. And yet, on the right, there has been very little said, and among Conservatives, almost nothing. This silence is unnerving.
Surely many of the fine, intelligent Conservatives I have known over many years know in their hearts their silence condemns them and their party. And I have known many such Conservatives, something I am sure almost all progressive readers of this blog can say as well – people with whom we disagree profoundly on economic or social policies, but who are consistent, honourable and thoughtful in their conservative principles.
So where are they, these "good Conservatives" with whom we can usually find some common ground? Or, rather, now that the election campaign is all but over, where were they?
Surely one or two Canadians who still have influence in the Conservative Party of Stephen Harper would have had the courage to speak up about this hateful strategy!
But apparently not. At least, I can say I have heard virtually nothing from the many former Conservative provincial and federal office holders in my community. And I haven't heard anything to suggest the situation is different anywhere else. We can only hope they have forcefully spoken up, at least, in the private chambers of their party.
I can think of six former elected representatives at all levels of government whom I know personally in my own community, and whom I have always thought of as fine people despite our different views of the world. But not one has spoken out to condemn this. Can we really see the world that differently?
Indeed, one of them wrote a letter to the local paper this week denying the prime minister had anything to do with trying to turn the niqab, a veil worn for religious reasons by a tiny minority of Muslim women, into a public issue.
"Our sitting prime minister has consistently tried to steer the election discourse to other important topics," wrote Mary O'Neill, former MLA for St. Albert, in Saturday's edition of the Gazette. "It is incorrect to think he is the one who has made this an election issue. … To a great extent, the other parties and the reporting media – and, I might add, the niqab-wearing women along with their lawyers – are the ones who have either made it or described it as an election issue."
Are we seriously being asked to blame the victims, and a couple of lawyers? Remember, the prime minister himself promised to introduce a ban on niqabs in public service offices – a practice for which there is now and ever shall be precisely zero demand!
Influential Canadian Conservatives may not recognize this campaign for what it is, but the rest of the world sure seems to. Even The Economist, the intellectual voice of globalized conservatism, called the prime minister's campaign "Muslim bashing."
A headline in The Guardian, meanwhile, a more liberal British newspaper, said Canadian Conservatives "use Islamophobia to make gains in polls." Britain's Independent newspaper characterized the Conservative campaign as one of "dark, racist overtones and anti-Muslim rhetoric." The Broadbent Institute's Press Progress online publication has compiled a longer list, from which these examples are drawn, of how the world sees the Conservatives' campaign tactics.
Of course, there is one other former elected Conservative in this community who has spoken up about this, but that is our former Conservative Member of Parliament, Brent Rathgeber, who is now running for re-election, probably quixotically, as an independent.
In a blog post last spring, Mr. Rathgeber accused the prime minister of "playing a dangerous game by attempting to capitalize on the politics of fear." The "entire niqab issue," he wrote, "is only being brought in as part of a larger, unhelpful campaign of fear and divisiveness between different groups of Canadians." (I have added the italics in this passage.)
Mr. Rathgeber condemned this divisive strategy again at a recent all-candidates' meeting when the Conservative candidate in the St. Albert-Edmonton Riding, Michael Cooper, tried unsuccessfully to scare the bejeepers out of the crowd with suggestions jihadists are lurking everywhere.
In this, Mr. Rathgeber echoes the words of Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi – not a Conservative, but hardly a radical leftist either – when he called Mr. Harper's campaign "disgusting" and "unbelievably dangerous stuff." For courageously speaking this obvious truth, Mayor Nenshi was accused by Defence Minister Jason Kenney, in typical Conservative fashion, of being the one who was politicizing the issue.
As for the many silent Conservatives, it says something about the hold Mr. Harper now has over that once-great Canadian political party that so many of its loyal supporters, even some who have hung on from the days when it truly was a conservative party and not the extremist market fundamentalist ideological front it has become, would exhibit such cowardice. And, sorry, if you know better and still say nothing, there's just no other word for it but cowardice.
Well, the election is all but over. Perhaps some of good Conservatives will speak up now. They still need to. This is a problem within the Conservative Party that's not going to go away just because we've had an election, whatever the outcome. It's become bigger than just Mr. Harper, and only Conservatives can get their own house in order.

Where were the good Conservatives when they started the systematic burning of books? They did not even have the courage to do it in public. Instead they followed the same cowardly template they used when they seized control of the Canadian Wheat Board from farmers.
First they fired the librarian (s) so nobody was around to keep track of things.
Then they told staff to take whatever they wanted.
Then a few chosen academics were invited in to salvage a bit more.
You can read about the most recent book burnings here http://www.cwbafacts.ca/2015/08/burning-bridges-to-the-future/ and at the end of the article are links to other sources of information on this.
These book burnings were of mostly irreplaceable and unique scientific papers from the previous 120 years of research. Anyone who has done any academic work at all has relied on this material for background and context. The vast majority of it was not saved. It is absolutely lost, and this is absolutely inexcusable.

And hardly anyone evens knows it happened, and is happening.

great article! what you say badly needs to be said. i could smell crosby all over the niqab thang from down here in australia. i wouldn't put old stock canadians past him either. i'll refrain from giving full vent to my thoughts about that man out of respect for you & your readers; sufficient to say i loath & despise him and everything he stands for. it would be great to see australia further isolated at paris later this year. -alfred venison, an edmontonian canuck in queen elizabeth's australia.

Naheed Nenshi was featured in the G&M on Saturday with an article about the politics of division that the Harper Cons were using as their main weapon in this (almost endless) campaign.
Divided, Canada stands to lose what makes it great
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/divided-canada-stands-to-lose-what-makes-it-great/article26848363
I think that's what I hated the most about the Con campaign – the attempt to shatter the country into warring factions and then to take control of the largest small fragment.
Canada even made it on to the BBC news this morning. I can't really remember Canadian elections being terribly important to other parts of the world before. All those articles from the U.K. and the U.S. as well as publications with an international distribution must have put us on the radar.
So, now we wait…
The good conservatives are the only true conservatives. With Stephen Harper. Michael Cooper. And against mortgaging our future for stupid hospital upgrades…
Well, it looks like Harper is gone (I hope). I want to thank all the Dippers for giving it a good shot and especially Rachel Notley and Thomas Mulcair for getting us in the game. My only proviso is: could we please from now on just stick to our principles?

Larry Kim – The Top Ten Facebook Hacks of 2019!
Larry Kim, the founder of Wordstream, shared where Facebook Marketing is in 2019 and where it is going in the future. Prices are rising on what used to be a very cost-effective platform for reaching target markets, leaving advertisers with more of a reason to be more creative and innovative with how they reach customers. For instance, there is the Inverted Unicorn. What is an Inverted Unicorn? That's not important. What is important is that while everyone else is targeting by narrowing their audience, you will be taking a different approach.
Why not combine totally unrelated interests to create a unique, and less expensive, market. As an example, targeting people who like Game of Thrones AND people who like e-mail marketing. In addition to lowering costs, this approach allows you to come up with engaging creative that targets this unique cross-section. An e-mail marketing ad is boring. A dragon-themed e-mail marketing ad though? It will draw the attention of a Game of Thrones fan long enough to understand they are viewing an e-mail marketing ad.
Mari Smith – The Future of Facebook: Where Marketers Need to Focus Today for Maximum Results Tomorrow
Mari Smith often referred to as the "Queen of Facebook", is closer to Facebook than just about anyone. Listening to her can give you real insight into where you should be focusing your energy. Mark Zuckerberg has been in front of Congress defending Facebook's dubious record on privacy, and it is clear from their recent moves that they are looking to improve their image in that regard. This new direction from Facebook is something marketers can capitalize on.
Mari sees four upcoming trends: messaging, Instagram stories, meaningful Facebook groups, and video. Brands will need to leverage Facebook messenger to reach out to their audiences through Chatbots and drip marketing campaigns. This is a great way to engage with the desired audience and learn more about them to further tailor ad messaging.
Instagram stories will be less about performance, and more ephemeral. Brands may balk at putting effort into content that disappears. However, with the public's increased focus on privacy, there is more interest in engaging on a platform that isn't storing information long-term.
Before news feeds, Russian hackers, and ad targeting, Facebook was a place for people to connect with friends. Facebook is looking to tap into its roots with a focus on Facebook Groups. You will start seeing an increase in television advertising promoting Facebook Groups. This will increase the user's engagement with the platform and also provide advertisers with a great way to interact with a target market. Brands can interact with Facebook Groups, and the Boost Button is coming soon which will allow brands to promote within these groups.
Finally, it is no surprise that Facebook is focused on video, just like everyone else. Facebook's angle is focusing on more engaging, long-form content. They want to be less passive then YouTube. They encourage watch parties to make live video a communal experience. Facebook Watch is a channel that is attracting talented people who have a following. Red Table Talk, for example, has received 34 million views. More notably, the average person is watching between 18 and 19 minutes at a time. This is an eternity in terms of capturing an online user's attention.
