You probably already read t he story in the paper by my colleague, Wendy Gillis, about former chief curator Dennis Reid being forced to retire prior to the 2014 date written into his contract. There are a million arguments to be made here, about clearing the way for young, dynamic staff, or for an infusion of independent projects giving the museum new life, and none of them are bad; but one thing's for sure: At the age of 67, Reid (left, with painter John Hartman) was likely the most prominent scholar on Canadian art actually working in a museum, not a university, and moreover, was a tireless champion of Canadian artists — a conscience the AGO needs, and will miss. I wish him the best in whatever he does.

I got my first passport when I was fifteen and going on a school trip to England and France. This means I spent the following 10 years flashing a picture of me in braces and with hair styling fresh from basketball practice. When it was due for renewal I snickered when I realized that renewing my passport actually cost me more than applying for one originally.

It drives me nuts when I’m sitting on the train and I can hear the music blaring from another person’s iPod. It’s just plain rude to be playing your music so loudly that it disrupts the rest of the train. But even if those people aren’t considerate of others, shouldn’t they at least care about the damage they are doing to their own hearing

On Friday, 18 June 2010, Algeria showed the world why they deserve to be in the World Cup. The Algerian team ran out onto the field at Green Point Stadium, Cape Town, in South Africa, with clear determination, and even though they were facing off against England they displayed no sign of fear. Many thought that the match would glide into the hands of the English, but Algeria delivered a magnificent performance, seeing to it that the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
