BURLINGTON, ON
The Gazette columnists, Ray Rivers and James Burchill – usually write every week.
Ray Rivers covers the political scene – where his trenchant observations and at times acerbic comment has resulted in a significant following of hos Top of mind column.
Ray Rivers write a regular column for the Gazette, raises chickens and plays the guitar whenever a group will let him in.
Rivers has chosen a rural lifestyle – raised sheep at one time – has a dozen chickens and a barn with stalls that his grandchildren would like him to house ponies in.
Rural means getting around differently in winter weather and we are definitely experiencing winter weather which means the Rivers column won’t make it into his regular Friday spot.
Burchill – It’s all about networking.
James Burchill, who writes Money, Management and Mojo will fill that spot today.
Both are going to take a couple of weeks of for the holidays – look for them again in January. Burchill apparently has a couple of new ideas up his sleeve.
Rivers, just might pop in with a column when he sees something that he just has to comment on comes along.
Although I am not a sceptic, I believe that the timing is just too cute. Will we next be reading about a Burlington native as the new contestant for the Tory leadership? It seems like a snow-job to me.
