I signed up for Twitter yesterday. Following our Oct. 21 federal election, after seeing the outpouring of anger from Western Canada, I wanted to post a copy of the Feb. 19, 2001 Alberta Report cover story Alberta First: Six prominent citizens deliver a manifesto calling for provincial autonomy, by Kevin Michael Grace. This is about…
I encountered few problems getting Episode 85 of Grace & Steel shipshape and posted. When Grace and I co-host a show, as opposed to Grace appearing with a guest, things typically go smoother in post-production simply because I have much experience working with files recorded on Grace’s system and my own, of course. The only…
True, there were many technical problems getting the James LaFond interview recorded, but I'm glad we persevered https://t.co/PjAwxRn35l — Kevin Michael Grace (@KMGVictoria) July 6, 2017 I read this tweet from my co-host about Grace & Steel Ep. 84 and thought, “Well?

Listeners now know the name of the mystery guest, mentioned in this post, who ordered the mic from Amazon with one-day delivery and, while waiting more than one day for that delivery, dropped off the radar.

This article by David Staples in the Edmonton Journal, about dropping math test scores here in Alberta has kicked up some dust locally. Everyone is pointing to something called Discovery Math, which I don’t know much about, and trying to figure out who to blame for implementing it 20 years ago. As Staples explains; Many…
To kick off the behinds-the-scenes peek at the Grace & Steel podcast, I’ll make excuses for why we’re slow in producing another episode. First of all, shortly after posting Episode 82 – Rivers of Blood, I was sent off on my bi-annual, week-long forced vacation. This probably demands a bit of explanation. One of my…
This blog will now become a place to post info about my activity in and around the Grace & Steel podcast, now up to 82 episodes (as of this writing). I intend to include some behind-the-scenes stuff for our listeners; i.e. problems we encounter putting an episode together, some tech babble, reflections on past episodes,…
Ensconced at the United Nations for over 30 years, Maurice Strong became the world’s premier diplomatic networker. He seemed to know everybody in the world of politics, in government and nongovernmental organizations, anyone who mattered, all across the globe, from Sweden to China, from Rio to Pyongyang. One of his friends boasted that Strong was…
Maurice Strong Interview March 31, 2006 4 PM PST–Topaz Room #1038, Pan Pacific Hotel, Vancouver. KS: …you want me to turn it off you just tell me. I realize time is short so I won’t spend a whole lot of time… We’ll go straight for the Kyoto thing. My boss, Ezra Levant… Maurice Strong: Yes…
My previous installment ended at the ferry in Port Angeles, Washington. There I’d met up with a group of adventurers headed for Alaska in a van, a wine red Chevy van, in fact. Invited to go along, I jumped at the chance. However, in order to finance the trip I needed to take a side…
