Appreciative of journalists who know what W5 means.
I believe in the social safety net even if it costs me more in taxes.
I try not to be rude when I disagree.
Caps, hats and head decor around the world are so weird!

My own selfish reason for wanting you to get your flu shots is that I don't want you to make me sick!

Non-profit Art Galleries like this one, which operate with no govt. funding, and no paid Board or staff are a real service to the community. This Duncan, BC, gallery survives on donations and memberships. Can you help?

This is a great idea, but I have not heard of a lot in Canada.

Local organisers/repair nerds across the country have a challenge.

This organisation supports local groups worldwide in starting and running their own Repair Cafés.

It would be good if party leaders allowed their members to vote according to their conscience. (although many would question if politicians have a conscience 😏)

Canada's jobless rate is moving in the right direction in spite of Trump making every effort to break us.

The new sign outside the Oval Office (just in case some high-ranking foreign dignitary couldn't find it once they got to the White House) does not appear to be finished. I'm sure that Trump wants his black Sharpie signature under it.

This photo startled me. I wondered where you would have got a photo of my dog. . . .🙂 He has been gone for many years.

The decor of the Oval Office under Trump has gone from respectable and business-like to an obscene, gaudy, Saudi-Arabian carnival-like side show.

Of course, as always, it is all those Americans who have trouble paying for groceries who are paying for his opulent obcessions.
