What ho, Thursday!! One of the gems from the archive again now - a telegram from Agatha Christie congratulating Plum on hitting 90, which was 55 years ago TODAY, a good innings in both life and cricket we believe. Time to celebrate with your favourite; but which to pick?!

Today is P. G. Wodehouse’s birthday. “Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to talk French.”

Extreme wealth leads to unchecked power and influence, that’s why even the super wealthy know that we need to tax the rich in Canada. Check out Patriotic Millionaire Emma Davis, a member of the 0.1% who is ASKING the government to tax her more.

As NDP health critic, I met with Health Minister Marjorie Michel to push for stronger public health care, expanded pharmacare, better dental coverage & my Mental Health Parity Act. Health care must be based on need, not income or postal code. Patients before profits. That's what we're fighting for.

Revisiting a gem this week. 'The Great Sermon Handicap' and 'The Purity of the Turf' may be my favourite two back to back chapters/stories in the English language. Glorious. #Wodehouse p.s. if if #York, toddle along to The Little Apple bookshop, a fabulous place and a stones throw from the Minster.

The Inimitable Jeeves, a book by PG Wodehouse. The cover depicts a young boy in a waistcoat and tie landing in some water. Two shadowy figures, 1 woman and 1 man are on a curved bridge behind him, the woman appears shocked whole the man's position suggests he might well have pushed him in.

Very much a top tier Wodehouse short story! Along with "Uncle Fred Flits By" 🦜and "Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend" 💐. And you're right, "The Purity of the Turf" is the perfect follow up.

The Green Party opposed Bill C-5 from the start. Now the Liberals want to remove one of the few limits placed on it. Bill C-5 was meant to sunset after five years, stopping its “national interest” powers from being handed to future governments. Bill C-39 erases that safeguard.

Green Party graphic on a cream background with orange and dark green text. It reads: “The Green Party opposed Bill C-5 from the start.” The graphic says Bill C-5 gave Cabinet extraordinary powers to fast-track projects it calls in the “national interest,” concentrating too much power in government, but that even Bill C-5 came with an expiry date. At the bottom is a green halftone portrait of Mark Carney in front of overlapping clock faces.

Green Party graphic on a cream and orange background. Large orange text reads: “Bill C-39 removes that deadline.” It says that if the bill passes, every future government will inherit these powers, including governments with radically different priorities. Highlighted text reads: “Bill C-5 gave government too much power. Extraordinary powers should never come without an expiry date.” A large distressed “EXPIRED DATE” stamp appears across the orange lower half.

Plus de pétrole, plus de pollution, plus d’extinctions, plus de gaspillage de fonds publics. Voilà ce que signifie un oléoduc « d’intérêt national ».

Graphic titled “More Pipelines, More Problems” over a photo of yellow oil pipelines. Text says Ottawa has designated the West Coast Oil Pipeline a “project of national interest,” putting it on the fast track. The proposed pipeline would move 1 million barrels of oil a day from Alberta to B.C.’s coast.

Graphic titled “More Pipelines, More Destruction” over a photo of a wildfire burning through a forest. Text says producing another 1 million barrels of oil a day will add millions of tonnes of pollution every year, causing more extreme heat, longer wildfire seasons, more homes lost to floods and more lives lost.

Graphic titled “More Pipelines, More Extinction” over a photo of a Southern Resident killer whale. Text says Ottawa rewrote the rules to override species protections for projects of “national interest.” It says Ottawa is now moving ahead with an oil terminal in the Fraser River Estuary, where 102 species are already at risk of extinction and less than 30% of habitat is left.

How we get around is crucial to a city; years of austerity budgets by Watson, perpetuated by Sutcliffe, combined with P3 boondoggles for LRT and inept leadership have crushed the dream of transit in #OttCity; and everyone is paying the price: drivers, transit users, economy, residents/tax payers.
