He probaby has a. fib. and takes an anticoagulant, although I haven't seen that kind of friability on anyone not taking Warfarin (no longer commonly prescribed). Also may be on an anticoag for the venous insufficiency. Only pot fatal if he hit his head really hard (brain bleed)/was badly cut.

Once again, I am annoyed. Of course I remember when this happened. My father, an accountant from a working class family, was opposed. I was opposed. The Council of Canadians was opposed. People just followed along believing free trade was a good thing. AUGH!!

I don't know whether to cry or scream seeing all these Canadians join me in buying locally as possible (preferably in your community, at least Canadian), eating seasonally, and supporting local agriculture, things I have been doing for 45 years - good call, y'all, NOW THAT IT'S TOO LATE.

Although something I strongly support, this recent exhortation to buy "loca" and "Canadian" makes me kind of tired because I have been doing that all of my adult life (like, 45 years or so) because I knew something about economics . . . .

If the PM wants to reverse climate action and buy the oil industry another pipeline, let’s have that debate. But you can’t have it both ways: Canada is not currently on track for a clean energy future. We’re hurtling in the wrong direction.
