Québec-Solidaire's clever two-sided posters are a really good idea; but they remind me of the NDP with their "huge ideas/no practical answers as to how to achieve them" mindset.

Hey, Randy Legault-Rankin, did you and every other #PLQ candidate really take turns standing in front of these same 3 people while they stayed perfectly still? #Lame #quebec #election2016

More than anything else I take away from my visit last week to Vancouver is how very weak the East-West connection is within Canada. You feel the strength of their connection to the Far East and to the Northwestern USA and the utter lack of French or visible minorities is striking.

The gist: Congratulations to the BJays I supppse. My dad has become a fan, having forgiven their Expos-killing ways a few years ago, sliding them into the "may bygones be bygones" bin. For me, I put MLB in the rear view mirror permanently over that debacle, and i SMH at their failure to institute any kind of salary cap.

That said, if a Canadian team comes out as World Series Champs, I'll tip my hat to them, just for all the seething it will cause amidst the Rethuglican Christo-Fascist Nazis runninv that beautiful country into the ground.
