That’s the way it works in Canada.

Loved it. Many pearls of wisdom from the excellent writers. Master Po’s last words to Kwai Chang Kane: Remember, the wise man walks with his head bowed.

The 25th Amendment will never be evoked. Who in his cabinet of n’er do wells and criminals would vote for it? RFKJR? Lil Marco? Bessent? McMahon?

Lovely shots. But not one bit on the prairies. No wheat fields. No grain elevators. No trains.

I like to think that their families are sitting in the upper stands and they’re just acknowledging them.

His timing was all. You would think that his line that he has the same pack since 1975, was the payoff of the joke. Then, the exact right pause, and boom, my wife is up to three packs a day.

Way back many years ago, Maria was a contestant on Celebrity Jeopardy. I’ve watched the show for years, and I have never seen someone so stupid.

Additionally, I was in a rock band way back when, and sometimes at our gigs those favourite DJs would emcee.

It’s why in the TV News business we made the change from “car accident” to “crash”. More accurate.

Uuugly! You could maybe understand if this vehicle was known as super reliable, rugged, able to manage terrain that other trucks couldn’t. But the reports seem to indicate that it’s a piece of crap.

Your former network, CBS, completely capitulated to Trump. Now they want to show the world that their dedication to him runs deep. Oh man. I miss your reporting my man.

Once upon a time, you might have expected that negotiations like this would be based on whatever is best for the position of the United States. Now you have to wonder if it’s all about Trump building a hotel in Tehran or how much money he and his cronies can make.

I love cormorants. They are ubiquitous, odd looking but beautiful at the same time. We have lots of them where we live in BC.

And even that accomplishment pales in comparison to universal coverage. I know you wanted that, but managed a compromise. Too bad it's the big corporations that call the shots.

They noisily screech, they shit all over everything and can be quite the nuisance. But when they fly, oh my, they command the sky, beautifully.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. 158 Canadian troops died in Afghanistan fighting along with their NATO counterparts.

I’m with you on that. I have had a moussaka with a lot of cheese where the eggplant blended in and was excellent. Also at Chinese restaurants, they can make a pretty good eggplant. But you should do like I do, and call it by its British name, aubergine. Doesn’t seem quite so intimidating that way.

If you live next to a flat roof in BC, you will see them. And soon you’ll hear the incessant, annoying little chirps they make calling for their mothers.

Look I’m Canadian. I can tell you that there was a 60 Minutes railroad of secret safe houses along the way to smuggle the episode. Let’s not deny it. It’s part of the Canadian mystique.
