This fall, Craig Chandler told Albertans to “adapt or leave” and it appears I’ve selected the later. Tonight, I catch a WestJet flight to Toronto where I’ll be starting work in January.

As I’ve been telling people this, their first reaction is rarely “good luck” or “I’ll miss you”, it’s usually “so what are you doing with the blog?”. Fair enough question. Renaming the thing “Toronto Grit” would create bookmarking hell and, let’s be honest, would be an incredibly lame and redundant title. So the title stays the same, although the banner and side bar description have undergone minor changes.

For the 25% or so of this blog’s readers who hail from Alberta – don’t fret, I’m personally a lot more interested in the next provincial election than whatever Dalton McGuinty is up to, so you can expect a lot of blogging on that (of course, I also find the over 70 Canasta championship more interesting than Dalton McGuity). For the 25% or so of this blog’s readers who hail from Ontario, I guess there will be a bit more local content for you. For everyone else…the post frequency may decrease while I settle in but not a lot else will change save a small increase in the frequency of Leafs jokes.
