On this day in 1988, Cowboy Junkies released their second studio album “The Trinity Session”

The album includes a mixture of original material by the band and covers of classic folk, rock, and country songs...most notably, a cover of The Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane"

US pauses water-sharing negotiations with Canada over Columbia River | Canada | The Guardian (Me: US abuse of long term friendship with Canada gets worse)
British Columbia’s energy ministry said officials south of the border were “conducting a broad review” of the Columbia River Treaty, the 61-year-old pact that governs transnational flood control, power generation and water supply.
