In his own (brief) words

David Nickle’s blog

Glad Peter is coming home, sorry he had to go through this experience, offended that those in authority decided to perform this abuse of justice.

Saturday March 13 is the final day for a couple of important things:

• Hugo nominations may be submitted until midnight Pacific time (3 AM Eastern time Sunday morning). You must be a supporting or attending member of Anticipation or Aussiecon to nominate for the Hugo awards, the most important awards in the field of science fiction.
• The Canadian Unity Fan Fund ballot is open until Saturday (presumably midnight Central time, or 1 AM Eastern time Sunday morning). Any Canadian may vote for the CUFF delegate, for a voting fee of only $5.

Quote of the day from Robert J. Sawyer: “I’ve voted, Diane, and I’m happy to publicly declare that I voted for you. You are one of the shining lights of Canadian fandom, and a wonderful ambassador for Eastern Canada.” Diane and her other friends are, I’m sure, grateful for Rob’s kind words about Diane.

The SFContario programming page is now online. You can give us ideas for panels or other program events on this page. Also, if you are interested in participating in the program, there’s a form where you can give us information about yourself.

The best convention programs I’ve seen are those that bring in the best ideas from many people. With about three tracks of programming, we won’t be able to use every idea or every person who volunteers, but we’ll use as many good ideas and good people as we can. So let us know what you’d like to see or talk about at SFContario. We look forward to your suggestions.

Here’s a question for our group mind: which Hugo and Nebula winners are Canadian?

The answers could be added to the Wikipedia.

A fan on a mailing list to which I subscribe explained “I’m editing the Wikipedia again. and would like to stick in a list of the Hugo- and Nebula-winning Canadian writers (not to mention checking to make sure all the Canadian SF writers are in the relevant
articles). Can anybody play “spot-the-Canadian” on the winners lists
and let me know? I’m a clueless Yank, and may not know which ones
aren’t as aggressively known as Canadian.

“I will leave it to you how you classify the immigrants like Dickson and Ryman.”

Dickson is Gordon Dickson, emigrant to the U.S. Ryman is Geoff Ryman, emigrant to the U.K.

I claim the emigrants, the never lefts, _and_ the immigrants.

Here is a list that claims to include all winners of both awards:
