Iambic Cafe: Who was where and voted how

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Thanks to CBAN for providing a list of the MPs who voted on Bill C-474 (defeated 176-97). Interesting to see that Michael Ignatieff was missing from the vote and so was our own Keith Martin.

I'm a writer and an eater and believe we should spend at least as much time learning where our food comes from as poets do placing commas.

And...check out my Really Random Garden blog, mostly in bloom during the growing season...

Now available: The Earth's Kitchen, a tasty chapbook of food poetry from Leaf Press. I'll be reading from this at Planet Earth Poetry on May 6.
