Number four makes sense - I was talking to a Liberal politician a few days ago and you were one of only a handful of blogs he had heard of. Thx for the info - I’ve fixed the link in the sidebar.

Matt in #1 needs a URL fix. I thought I'd fallen off the list, but then saw I jumped to 4! I almost fell outta my chair. I guess installing the Alexa toolbar helped ;), but seriously my traffic did go up a good bit due to the Sask Election. I see you updated the top 25 political blog list. Matt in #1 needs a URL fix.

He posts about 1/3 as much as the rest of the people on the list, but he still has a high alexa ranking. Furthermore it's stories from his blog and reports that he writes that are often subject to comment in the MSM. He and Jason Cherniak have bridged the gap between news reporters and newsmakers, I believe that it more significant than someone who posts non-original content 20 times a day.

Of the remainder, I think 2 are women. But if you go through the comments, you'll find Suzanne - who (i think) runs a women's blog community. I'd check out her site if I were you. You can just click on her name at the top of the comment. In the top 7 - 1 is Canadian - Kate at Smalldeadanimals. Of the remainder, I think 2 are women.

I was never much for stats. I found out about Alexa a little while back and still can't figure out what sort of use it is to a blogger like me. Ummm...and I was just over at a US blogging woman who has compiled a list of over 200 wimmin bloggers. I wonder how many of these are blogging from north of the 49th and how many of them would figure prominently on lists of important canuck bloggers? Just a thought. Bye for now. Hmmm…

BANPC. There's the I Am Canadian Blogroll for some others who aren't political. And of course there's Raymi the Minx who likes to point out that she's not political but bigger than the Beatles.

I've been combing the web for any blogs I missed for the November list - so I think your list could help. By the way if anyone reading this has any idea for blogs I missed [not including blogrolls like liblogs or blogging tories] please list them in the comments to this post. Quebec blogs most especially welcome as my French is rubbish. Cheers Darcey, thank you very much.

I don't trust the Alexa ranking as far as I can throw it, so I'm glad you threw in the PR, that was a smart idea. I also learned last year from the Canadian Blog Awards that there are some very big blogs out there in Canada (mostly in Toronto or Quebec) which are either not political in nature, or are in another language.
