		<description><![CDATA[ChangeCamp, a new initiative aimed at re-imagining government and citizenship in Canada, has officially launched as of this morning.  Although I will be blogging about it more throughout the day, I thought I would post one of the great video&#8217;s that gives an idea of what this movement is all about and what it hopes to accomplish&#8230; ChangeCamp &#8217;09 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As someone that enjoys healthy debate, I am typically more than happy to spend minutes if not hours discussing a myriad of topics.  Having said that, I have to admit that I tend to get annoyed when conversations about serious topics remain superficial and simple.  Serious issues deserve serious thought and effort.  While I can understand that [...]]]></description>
