About

I was born in England, spent part of my childhood in Zambia and eventually immigrated to Canada from the U.K. in 1999, where I lived in Ottawa for five years before settling in Toronto, Ontario.

I started this blog in 2007. It’s a place for me to wax lyrical about the news and events in my life, or to write about my interests in politics, world religions, human and civil rights, my love of science and reason, or to add the odd post here and there about my cats.

I share the same name as a former Toronto Maple Leafs hockey player, but I’m not that Gary Roberts. When I moved to Toronto in 2004, the question I’d hear most after introducing myself, was: “You’re not the Gary Roberts, the hockey player, are you?”

Well no, I’m not—and this not a blog about hockey, although it may contain the odd reference here and there to that popular sport!

Views expressed in this blog are my own, or maybe someone else’s and I just happen to agree with them—or not!
