Sunday Linkblast - Feb 17

I haven't done one of these in a while, so here's my weekly rundown of the things that make me go hmm...

• Alberta Labour movement VS Ed Stelmach
  No surprise considering Alberta has the most anti-worker government in Canada.
  
  
• Two perspectives on the Writer's strike settlement
  Marc Norman calls it a great victory, Harlan Ellison says they were turned out like prison bitches.
  
  
• The Anonymity Experiment
  Remember Buy Nothing Day? How about drop off the grid and leave no trace week.
  
  
• Getting it completely, embarrassingly wrong
  Again and again journalists have mistaken their own pet narratives for the real story of the American Presidential nominations.
  
  
• Americans notice the Keen fiasco
  'Is the Canadian government learning from the Republicans?'
  
  
• Contemplating defeat
  The 'things are getting better all the time in Afghanistan' narrative begins to unravel.
  
  
• A confusing strategy
  Hillary's Giuliani style strategy of concentrating on the bigger states and ceding the smaller ones to Obama doesn't really fit the Democrats proportional representation system.
