Canadian Steele

Well, the site works just peachy, so, a little something about my purpose here.
My name is Tommy Eliot Steele. I’m an honours student at U of Manitoba. I enjoy reading, writing and sports. Why the site? Well…I have recently been afflicted with a burgeoning compulsion to weigh in on Canadian issues. So, I’ve got to get in there, and I see no better way than this exciting medium.

I want this site to, in the beginning, focus on politics and related matters (mostly Canadian). As I grow more comfortable and adept at blogging, I hope to evolve into many other areas. However, other intersting topics are certainly open. This site, I hope you will find, is neither left or right. While my views may tend to lean a certain way, another blog devoted specifically to one group over another is hardly needed. Rather, I intend this site to appeal to those who haven’t had reason hijacked by partisan attachments. That isn’t to say fence-sitting is the name of the game, nor will this be a boring and weak forum. I simply want the best here. So, don’t be surprised if I’m strongly critical of persons who “cheer” rather than reason. Spinning just annoys me.

Personally, I have a few reasons to blog. (1)I find debate endlessly entertaining, (2)cogent opinions and well-reasoned views seem hard to come by (and so I move into this larger arena) and (3)debate needs me. You’ll see what I mean.
