It's gone far too unnoticed, but former Clerk of the Privy Council, Alex Himelfarb, is blogging in his new capacity as Director of the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs at York University. The blog is here: http://afhimelfarb.wordpress.com/alex/

This is noteworthy not only because Himelfarb is incredibly smart (he was an academic and wrote books in a former life), not just because he's raising interesting questions in a reasonable way ("Are Canadians becoming more conservative?" for example), but because it is remarkable to find a former clerk putting his thoughts on political and policy questions so far into a public space.

Keep an eye on this and on Himelfarb.
