Résumé
Marcel Mason, known in the blogosphere as "Stageleft", (born June 15, 1959) is a Canadian Blogger and political activist who runs the Stageleft: Life on the Left Side political weblog.
Born in Woodstock, New Brunswick, he joined the Hudson's Bay Company in August 1978 and moved to Eskimo Point (later renamed to the original Inuit place name of Arviat). He subsequently lived in Coral Harbour, Igloolik, Hall Beach, Chesterfield Inlet, and Rankin Inlet, working with the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1982, Mason left the Hudson's Bay Company and worked in the social housing field in the eastern Arctic until 1992 when he entered the field of municipal politics. In 1994, he and his family relocated to Iqaluit, where he graduated from the Nunavut Arctic College Management Studies Program with honours.
In 1997, while working with Nunanet Communications, Mason set up the Eastern Arctic's first political discussion forum, "The Political Discussion Forum" as a result of dissatisfaction with how the Northwest Territories government located in the western Arctic city of Yellowknife addressed the concerns of people in the eastern region's territory. The discussion forum was very successful, and quickly became the place for citizens to express and discuss their political concerns.
After leaving Nunavut for Ottawa, Ontario in the spring of 2002 he unsuccessfully attempted to return to the bulletin board discussion scene with a political forum named !Gonk!. In January 2003 set up the first incarnation of "Stageleft: Life on the Left Side" on the free Blogspot hosting service. In March 2003, Stageleft (the blog) moved to a subdomain of crow.ws using the PMachine blogging software. Stageleft eventually moved to its current domain of stageleft.info.
Mason has been described as being politically left as a result of heavy criticism of George W. Bush, the American invasion of Iraq, and modern Conservative political policies in general, this is an incorrect perception, he is an anarchist.
In 2004, Marcel expanded "Stageleft" into a group blog, adding Terry Rudden ("Balbulican") as a co-blogger".
