John Semley: Canada and the US are close to breaking up as friends. Is reconciliation a bridge too far?

One reason self-imagined lefties are nuts to attack Ryleigh Cooper is bc that's what Russ Vought wants.

NEW RECIPE: Mussels in Pernod and White Wine.
My favorite fancy "cheap" food! Super easy and it feels like you've done something special. Clean, soften leeks (or onions, etc.), add liquid, taste, add mussels, cover, wait 4 minutes. Check. Serve with crunchy bread.

I haven't seen this in 44 years, and of course I wouldn't know in 1980 that G.E. Smith was a guitarist for Bowie at the same time as being in Hall and Oates. Which just makes Smith just that much cooler.
