I have been writing #RedHeartBlueSign since 2011. I started writing the blog following the 2011 Ontario General Election and my first run as the Ontario Progressive Conservative candidate in Ottawa Centre.  The title of the blog comes from an article published about the 2011 campaign by then Carleton University Journalism student Emily Dickinson.  You can read her story here https://emilydickinsoncu.wordpress.com/politics/red-heart-blue-sign/.

All my posts are afound at https://redheartbluesign.wordpress.com.   By October 2021, 10 years ofter starting the blog I had written 358 posts, I expect that post #400 will some sometime in 2022.  It’s been fun and a pleasure to read your feedback and critiques.  #RedHeartBlueSign is my way to stay involved and do my part to challenge some of the ideas and politics.

I ended 2022 by wrapping up my best in books, music and television, please click https://redheartbluesign.wordpress.com/ to read these posts.  I am always interested in what new music, books and media you found please share with me at rdmedia@bell.net.  The same link will always take you to me newest post.

In August 2020 as I approached my 60th birthday I tracked the 60 songs of my life. I recently updated the list to include song sixty-one, “Becoming Human” by Carolyn Arends as my 2021 (61st) song.  You can follow and listen to my 60 Years On Playlist, I’ll be found at Rob Dekker on Spotify.
