About
What is Confabulous?
Want us to go literal, here? Confabulous is a concatenation of confabulate and fabulous. Confabulate, of course, means:
While we can't claim we're going to do much of definition #2, our whole reason for being here, of course, lies in definition #1. We're here for confabulating... fabulously. What we confabulate about is politics and pop culture from a Canadian perspective and for a funny, fearless, female audience.

What's with your slogan?
You mean, "Dancing at the revolution in a great pair of shoes"? That refers to Emma Goldman's famous quote, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be a part of your revolution." We, too, want to dance at the revolution, but we want to look and feel stylish while we're doing it. Hence our equal commitment to covering both politics and culture.
What's your comments policy?
We are ardently committed to a confab with readers that is open, respectful, possibly heated, potentially controversial and certainly hilarious. Please behave accordingly. Thoughtful comments that meaningfully contribute to the conversation are enthusiastically encouraged; spam, personal attacks and abuse (including material that is racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic and transphobic) are not, and will be subject to deletion.
