I am not an audiophile, so I am writing this post for both you and me. I have spent a great deal of time scouring the interwebs looking for some new Canadian music by the ladies. Since, at BlogHer we are all about the 80’s. I like lots of different types of music, from folksy to rock me like a hurricane. The first lady I came across was “Lenore” , just the one name. She is folksy, and I like it. There are several mp3 samples on her site, which is important to me when scanning for new music. This bit from her bio was funny:  Read more >

On this past Friday, October 5, Toronto and the Royal Canadian Mint made news because the Canadian Mint claimed they owned the words “one cent” and you can’t use them. The city of Toronto has started a campaign to get the federal government to return one cent of the national Goods and Services Tax (GST) to Toronto, which is struggling from decades of federal cuts in their budget payments from the Federal government.

About Me: 

I started a personal, diary type blog in 2002 after discovering many other fantastic blogs.  Having an audience for my intimate disussions and inane observations ended up being realy fulfilling, so the personal blog continues and the community of female bloggers has greatly enriched my life. I have a degree in Communications Studies and here I am, communicating! I have worked in web content, communications, and marketing. I love gardening, gossip magazines, and the craziness of online community, I can often be found on twitter even after bedtime. I also contribute on www.wecovet.com, www.alphamom.com and occasionally on www.realmental.org.  The blog that launched a couple of ships is still at www.jenandtonic.c.  jenandtoni.ca is now dead for privacy reasons, as of July 2009, but my personal blog is now at http://www.jennui.com.
