Preville on Politics
NHL politics pool!
Posted on April 12, 2007 by Philip Preville
Just a thought: given that the federal Tories are so eager to identify with Middle Canada, I've got ten bucks that says Prime Minister Stephen Harper will appear at both a Senators and a Flames game before the playoffs are over.

Veteran freelance writer Philip Preville lived much of his life in Montreal and Edmonton before he was lured, like so many Torontonians before him, by the promise of more work and a better living. A National Magazine Award winner and former Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, Preville writes Toronto Life’s politics column. He lives with his wife and one-year-old son in Riverdale, just close enough to the Don Valley Parkway that he can hear it when he steps outside his house—but just far enough away that it doesn’t keep him awake at night. On his office wall hangs a 1938–39 press pass belonging to his grandfather, Elias Gannon, who wrote for the Montreal Star.
