Carnival Of The Newbies

Spring. The grass is sprouting, the birds are singing and and after a winter spent .... well, let's just say we have a few new pups venturing into the blogosphere.

Let's begin with Vidanges du diable a new blog in French! St�phane tells me that "petits animaux morts" inspired him to start. Babelfish didn't pull up any "stupid bitch from Saskatchewan" translations, so I guess that's a compliment. ;-)

From Ottawa, Gold Blogger is the funniest site you'll ever read on gold markets.

I don't even need a computer or a trading account. Just pull out wads of money from my pockets and set fire to it in the pail.

Right Thinking People is already one of my favourites. "News and views, for (and by) those with intellectual - but lacking utterly in bureaucratic - ambition." Another right thinking person, Citizen Command, Citizen Journalist!

Max Taffey at Million Blogs goes down the pop culture road.

Brendan and Paul write The-Comment from deep behind enemy lines. Warwick covers university, politics, media from Ontario, as does another right-of-center blogger, Jason Hickman's V for Victory. Also blogging from the "dead zone" of Canadian conservativsim, Dissonance and Disrespect. Hoping for a better Canada, Canadianna.

Maybe there's hope yet for that province.

From the left, Impolitical is so new it's not yet dry. From Toronto. See? At SDA, it's all about "fair and balanced".

Back to regular right programming with Crittermusings.

Down the heavily travelled Liberal scandal trail .... regular commentor Rob hosts Liberal Scandal Record. Alberta based Tribil doesn't look like a blog, but they host pages in which Liberal scandals are chronicled, so count on daily updates. In a similar vein, I mentioned Anticorruptiona few days ago.

late additions Eliza's Corner from Alberta, a grandmother of 12 who's just getting started. Raging Ranter and Keaimato get in just under the wire....

Featuring running poll aggregates - Potent Pew, a group blog on "law, information technology, city of god and man, canadian newspapers, global politics, the direction of western civilization" Well, that's narrowing it down.

Also Canadian asks "You did say carnival of boobies, right?"

Crocodile Morsels is getting a second wind, no doubt inspired by recent political events.

Moldy Peaches. Not about fruit at all, but good enough for a segue to a blog from the Okanagan Valley - Is This all.

A little further to the west, "Are you ashamed yet?" is based in the lower mainland. He'll be watching local politics unfold and blogging the nomination in Abbotsford.

"Malfeus Bachelor Tips" at Mind Vomit. O. K.

Vectorsphere doesn't seem that new, but he passed his site along and it's worth a visit.

Cannuckistan Chronicles is hosting a Moonbat Outreach at the moment. Once he has them, he closes his hands slowly around their throats and squeeezes....

Circling back around towards home, Ryan from Regina invites you to When Irish Eyes Are Smiling".

You know the blogosphere is getting crowded when you get a link from someone who lives a couple of houses down the street. From Delisle, Catprint in the Mash is about "Sask and Cdn politics, Beer Brewing, and Linux Systems administration". Oh, man - does it get any better than that?

Like I said, some of us really did spend the winter "making puppies" - a couple of the small live animals who arrived last week are ready to make their appearance.
