That’s just temporary, so I’m doing a lot more solo touring. After this tour there will be some more stuff in Newfoundland in June and in April I’ll be doing a pretty big tour of Eastern Canada and North Eastern United States. That’s going to be a big slog...

If politics was his calling, standing beside 14 year friend and Lib- eral darling Justin Trudeau, why return to New- foundland when you have such firm roots in Ontario? Home dear friends, the calling of home was too fine to ignore. “There was never any doubt, nothing that I ever truly considered,” O’Regan said of his desire to run on his home turf during a candid interview. “Toronto is a great city and it has been good “I think anybody that watched Canada AM over those ten years, they know that I promoted this place every morning.” — Seamus O’Regan h 26 The Newfoundland Herald/March 1 - 7, 2015
