I bought in. I always remember the story told by Catherine Ford (a former journalist with the Calgary Herald) about having a chance to invest in "Trivial Pursuit" when it was in its infancy and she turned it down. I don't want to be telling a similar story when Gander takes off.
LOVE THIS IDEA!

Tomorrow, at 1100hrs we will stop.
We will stand still and silent.
We will remember that we are only here enjoying what we have because others -vastly better than us - gave their futures for us to work together to build a better Canada.
Honour their sacrifice.
To us, they have past The Torch.

I'm seeing all these posts aimed at #MarkCarney saying "Progressives didn't vote for this" and "Carney is behaving like a red Tory", etc., and I'm sick of it. We ALL looked at our measly options and chose the Libs. We need to own it and stop trying to make perfection the enemy of the good. #cdnpoli

Free trade was sold as prosperity. Forty years later, we’ve lost industries, leverage, and much of our say.
If a deal isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, why act bound by it? #cdnpoli

Really good article. The criticisms of Carney using tried & true diplomacy while negotiating with a hostile regime, are absurd, naive, and in my view, bad faith propaganda. Hoekstra demonstrated exactly what chest-thumping, ignorance & boorish behaviour achieve: chaos & breakdowns in talks. #cdnpoli
