Suite101

2nd Annual Life in Canada Review: 2000-2001


© David Newman

It's been two years ago, February 13 of 1999 that I started writing for Suite101. I don't have to tell you the whole story again, because you can read it at the 1st Annual thing. What has happened in the past year? The site changed format twice, once it got rid of the little folder things at the top of the page and replaced them with, well circular things. And the second most recently, was a reorganization of the whole site which means that the categories we were in before don't exist anymore and its basically like a library now. Donald Blair, Jr. (Life in Toronto) isn't my manager anymore; now its J. M. Bridgeman (Canadian History & Culture). A friend of mine, who used to write History of Rock has retired his topic at Suite101, so has one of my old teachers, who wrote France and the French. Anyway, lets get to the little useless stats I gave out last year. But now they're updated.

According to ratings, here are the best articles I've written. TOP TEN: 1-Maurice Richard: hero d'un people: A Tribute to the best man to ever lace up a pair of skates.
