Local Politics

For some reason, I have a hard time getting as excited about local politic as I do about US politics. Certainly, the global impact of American politics is much greater, and the Yanks sure know how to ramp up the drama, but still, I should pay more attention to what's going on in my own back yard. Especially given the fact that the effects on my life are much more immediate.

That's why I subscribe to The Tyee. It has an independent perspective on local politics that offers me a great alternative to the mainstream press.

I don't think I'd have found an article like this in the Vancouver Sun.
