Every now and then, I search the Canadian political blogosphere for blogs I can add to Opinions Canada.
Most blogs don't include an email address. So I can't contact the blogowner.
Now, I *could* put a message in the comments section of the desired blogs in question.
But that's a bit gauche. Not to mention, kind of spammy.
This may seem an unorthodox way to get the attention of potential members of the Opinions Canada blogroll, but I figure this is the least "spammy" way of doing it.
The following is a list a blogs I would like to add to the Opinions Canada blogroll. Hopefully, through a Technorati search or word of mouth, the bloggers will be informed and, if they so choose, they can contact me and give me permission to add their site.
Now, if you blog is not on the list, don't feel hurt. While I won't add extremely objectionable blogs, or vulgar or racy blogs, chances are, that's probably not why I didn't list you. I probably didn't list your blog because :
- When I visited your blog, you hadn't blogged in the last week (I like my potential candidates to be current
- I didn't get around to visiting your blog
OR:
So if you're not a White Supremacist, you don't use the "F" in every other sentence, and you don't pictures of Sunshine Girls (at least not frequently), and you're a Canadian political blogger, you're in.
Oh, and I'm only listing about ten per blogroll. I only have so many hours in a day.
Anyhow, on to the blogs:
