I still have the front page of the local papers when the #bluejays won the series back in ‘92/‘93 back to backs. They were stored in an attic until earlier this year. Not superstitious but they sure got better around that same time. Think I’ll hold on to them a bit longer

There is a storm of race hatred brewing online.
Blaming refugees. Blaming hard working immigrants.
Don't fall for this kind of shit.
I think of the Syrian families who built the north with passion, hard work.

U.S. health workers will be able to work immediately in Ontario. New rules mean doctors, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and registered practical nurses who are licensed in the U.S., with a clean record, can be on the job for six months without first having to register. WE NEED THIS IN B.C.

America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused.

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.
The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).
