must stop noinfoism

So, recently, I espoused on the merits of Tasha Kheiriddin for a Canadian version of the View. Tasha (or someone posting as Tasha) kindly left me a comment with an update on where she's at and how she'd fit into the View: Canada Edition. (And I think she has proven she can be funny!)

Hey Jai, hope you are enjoying my former home (Toronto) - I have since moved back to Montreal where I am the director of the Fraser Institute's new office and teach a course on conservatism at McGill University. So I guess I still qualify as a conservative yup-ette for the purposes of the View From Canada. I can be funny for an extra fee. Thanks BTW for buying our book, bonus if you read the whole thing!

cheers,

Tasha

Now, I didn't actually finish the book, but I didn't finish Harry Potter 6 either, so what can I say?

There are only two problems with my quest for a Canadian View.

First, this is CTV, so unless it's a show hosted by Regis Philbin, they aren't willing to make a Canadian spin-off. (Unlike, Global, that will spin... off... anything.)

Second, besides her author's blurb and an updated Maclean's profile, her online profile is small-ish.

So, because I already spent whole minutes planning out the View: Canada Edition here and here, I've decided to start the Jai and the City Toronto Tasha Kheiriddin View Canada Edition Awareness Right Write Pro Am Type for the Cure to rectify the noinfoism that afflicts so many Canadians. Step uno: create Tasha's Wikipedia entry. (See it here.)

I hope this worthy cause catches on.

Dear Jai,

You are hilarious! Actually the fault of the online web presence is mine - I have been meaning to build a web site since January and have been so busy (ok, lazy) that I haven't got around to it. And I guess my Facebook page really doesn't count. Would be most obliged if you did create a wiki as I believe I cannot create one on myself. BTW in case you want confirmation that this is indeed me, my email is tasha.kheiriddin@rogers.com

kind regards,

Tasha
