Happy Belated Birthday, Canada. For an old dame of no less than 139, you're looking pretty damned good. Except for the fact that you're completely bald up North, of course. But hey, who's looking?
This blog has a simple mandate: to provide me (Chris) with an outlet to rant, rave, inspire, offend, and floccinaucinihilipilificate. And if you have to look that up, you probably shouldn't be reading.

Name: C. David LaRoche Hometown: Halifax, N.S. Current location: Vancouver, B.C. Favourite colour: Blue-ish Political views: Absurdist Redeeming qualities: Skinny, cuts own hair, Made in Texas™ About me: I'm a 24-year old writer/editor/researcher who is currently employed by a Vancouver-based, Asia-related think tank. Previous endeavours include being an editorial intern at The Walrus magazine in Toronto, editor-in-chief of the Dalhousie Gazette in Halifax, and an intern and freelance contributor to The Gazette in Montreal. I also edit university and college handbooks, help research a US-based statistics column syndicated in more than 75 newspapers, dabble in web design, and have been (mostly erroneously) quoted in the press as an 'expert' on North Korea. I hold a Master of Arts in Political Science from Dalhousie University and Bachelor of Journalism with Honours from the University of King's College. I was born and raised in Halifax, N.S., by Quebecois parents. And I should have gone into architecture.
