PP's proposal to lengthen prison sentences is not useful e.g. • Public Safety Canada publicsafety.gc.ca - increasing sentence length does not necessarily lead to decreased crime rates.
• Canadian Bar Association www.cba.org/sections/cri... - longer sentences largely ineffective in reducing crime.

You can’t make this stuff up. Rhodes Scholar Karoline Leavitt, White House spokesperson has racked up some good ones recently. The best one:

“Today at 3PM, President Trump will sign an Executive Order to reinvigorate AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE, AND CLEAN COAL!”

Canadians protesting Amazon's 51st state products, go to Amazon, search 51st state, pick a product, scroll down to "report an issue with" click on "it is offensive", then "other" then enter: "This product advocates aggression towards a sovereign nation. It is offensive to 40 million Canadians"

Behold! The first flower I have ever managed to coax out of an orchid. Her name is Maria. Moving her a few feet lower and giving her some fall air outside seem to have done the trick.

My five-year-old grandson has lost a small piece of Lego for one of his sets. Looking at his playroom, I can't imagine why he can't find it! 😄

For anyone who hasn't seen it, this is an encouraging article from WIRED (which I highly recommend).
