I Started a New Blog. Here’s Why.

If you have been reading here for a while, you know what this space has always been. It is where I come when something burns. When gas goes up again. When a politician says something insultingly out of touch. When the news cycle serves up another story that makes you want to throw your phone across the room.

This blog has been my outlet. Maybe it has been yours too.

But over the past year, something has shifted for me. The ranting started to feel incomplete. The raving, while cathartic, began to loop back on itself. I kept asking the same question after every post:

Okay, but what do we actually do about it?

That question would not leave me alone. And eventually, it forced me to build something new.

Introducing mycdnprince

My new blog is called mycdnprince. It is not a replacement for this space—this will always be where I vent—but it is an expansion. A different kind of conversation.

Where this blog is the gut reaction, mycdnprince is the morning-after reflection. Where this one is the scream, the new one is the strategy session.

The tagline says it all: “Exploring corporate power, democracy, and what ordinary people can do about it.”

I am not interested in abstract theory or academic jargon. I am interested in answering the questions that keep working people up at night:

• • • Why does it feel like the system is rigged?
    • Who actually owns the economy?
    • How did housing become unaffordable?
    • What can we do that actually works?

The First Series: “Enough Is Enough”

I launched the blog with a five-part series called “Enough Is Enough: Understanding Corporate Power and Democracy in Canada.” It is the foundation everything else will build on.

Here is what it covers:

Part 1 introduces the central problem: the growing gap between democratic ideals and concentrated economic power.

Part 2 asks a simple but rarely answered question: Who owns Canada? It looks at how banking, telecom, energy, and retail are dominated by a handful of corporations—and why that matters for democracy.

Part 3 tackles the housing crisis, arguing it was not an accident but the result of deliberate policy choices that turned homes into financial assets.

Part 4 explores what democratic public ownership could actually look like in practice—not as ideology, but as a practical alternative.

Part 5 confronts the hardest question: How do we build a movement capable of changing any of this?

If you have ever felt angry about the cost of living, frustrated with corporate greed, or powerless in the face of politics that never seems to deliver—this series was written for you.

Why I Needed a Separate Space

I love this blog. I love the rawness of it. But I realized that raw emotion, while necessary, is not enough on its own.

If we only ever react, we never build. If we only ever vent, we never organize. If we only ever point out what is broken, we never imagine what could replace it.

mycdnprince is my attempt to do the slower work. The reading. The research. The connecting of dots that don’t always get connected in the daily news cycle.

It is also a space to find other people asking the same questions. Because the one thing I have learned—from history, from organizing, from life—is that none of us figure this out alone.

Come Visit. See What You Think.

I am not asking you to stop ranting. Lord knows there is plenty to rant about. But if you have ever found yourself at the end of a venting session thinking “now what?”—this new space might be for you.

You can find it here: mycdnprince.

Read a post. Read the whole series. Poke around. See if it resonates.

And if it does, subscribe. Because this is just the beginning. There is so much more to explore—about economic democracy, about grassroots organizing, about what ordinary people are capable of when we stop acting like isolated individuals and start acting like a community.

The ranting will continue here. The building happens there.

I hope to see you in both places.
