Grand Cafe ODEON in Zurich. So many famous people met and drank coffee here. This photos include a page from the menu. I visited because Albert Einstein was a frequent guest. I will ignore the “Lenin and Mussolini” linkage! odeon.ch/en/odeon-his...

This seems a bit of a coincidence. On the week where we have the Galileo exhibition, this is my Latte from the Black Hole Bistro! Looks remarkably like one of the eclipses drawn by Galileo!

Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck

Is it effective to boycott U.S. products? Evidence is mixed, but here’s what you can do to shop more Canadian

Canadian consumers are advocating a ‘Bye, America’ approach, but some experts question the feasibility of dodging products made in the U.S. in Canada, especially in the winter

As, the #WSJ notes, the “Dumbest Trade War in History” just started (see link) www.wsj.com/opinion/dona... For Canadians there is a push to “buy Canadian”. To help this, there is a website to look up madeinca.ca Also labels help. Labels with Product of Canada are 98% Canadian #buycanadian
