Canada's Debate

I’ve enabled the comments function of the site now (with some handy third-party software called jreactions), which means that we now support feedback.

So far only two people have voted on the Blogging Congress name poll, which is a bit disappointing, although not entirely surprising. I will be going with Canadian Bloggers’ Congress if I don’t get any substantial feedback suggesting otherwise, and will register the domain soon thereafter.
