    There is definitely a Canadian presence in this year's Blawggies. It is worth reading through his full post to learn more, including who he lists as the runners up.

    Congratulations to my fellow Slaw-yers and Jordan!

    Cheers,
    Connie

    Congratulations, Simon and everyone else, on an honour richly deserved! I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write for Slaw, and even more fortunate to read it every day. Thanks for your kudos as well, but this is your day and your deserved recognition — many congratulations again! :-)

    Congrats to Simon et al..well done, well written and well deserved.

    Similar to Jordan, I am honoured to be part of the slaw.ca club – and congrats to Jordan as well for his own richly deserved efforts.

    I know that y'all (since we seem to be adopted by our American brethren) continually raise the bar and this helps all of us aim higher…

    Cheers,

    Dave
