ALL THAT IS GOOD Dr. Jane Goodall gave the good people of the world her greatest gift, while dressing down the bad, during her final interview on 'the beautiful Planet Earth'

From her lips to God’s ears, because if ANYBODY has a direct line to God, it’s the Goddess, Jane Goodall …

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Bob Homme as The Friendly Giant, wearing a rustic, beige tunic with brown accents, holding a small xylophone and two violins, with a colorful giraffe puppet with a harmonica and a chicken puppet on his shoulders, set against a plain blue background.

On Sept. 30, 1958, Canadian children were treated to a new show.
It featured a giant who told them to "look up!...waaaaaay up!"
For the next 27 years, the show was a fixture on CBC and is beloved to this day.
This is the story of The Friendly Giant!

Breaking the American Tether Trump‘s UN spectacle shows why Canada must look beyond America to a New World order.

Today's essential read for all Canadians.

"under Trump, American military and economic power is capricious, poorly applied, and morally bankrupt. Canada cannot afford to drift in its wake."

Opinion: Yes, Canadians - Albertans do want to stay in Canada Don’t believe the separatist rhetoric of a few vocal and misguided pundits

My column in the Globe & Mail:

“Those challenges notwithstanding, separation is clearly not the answer. Even the talk of separation damages Alberta’s reputation, creates uncertainty, drives away talent and investment, and divides communities.”

He delivers the perfect blend of humor and truth.

The black-and-white photo depicts an intense ice hockey moment with players in action. Paul Henderson is cheering with his arms raised, holding his stick triumphantly. Another player in a similar Canadian jersey is nearby, while a player in a "CCCP" (Soviet Union) jersey stands to the right. A goaltender is on the ice, and a crowd is visible in the background behind the net.

On Sept. 28, 1972, Canada and the Soviet Union took to the ice in the final game of the Summit Series. With the series tied, it would come down to one of the most famous goals in Canadian hockey history.
This is the story of Game Eight.

A color photograph of an intense ice hockey moment near a goal, with multiple players from the Canadian team, wearing white jerseys with red and black accents and the word "CANADA" on the back, engaged in a scramble. One player is positioned in front of the net, while others wield hockey sticks. A referee in a black-and-white striped uniform with the number "14" on the back is overseeing the play. The background shows a blurred crowd behind a netted barrier, and the setting appears to be an indoor rink with advertisements visible along the boards.

On Sept. 26, 1972, Canada and the Soviet Union faced off for the seventh game of the Summit Series.
It was a must-win situation for Canada and the team battled hard to make Canadians proud.
This is the story of Game Seven.

We shared good information put to together by a true interdisciplinary group of experts from science, medicine, law, engineering and occupational hygiene with anyone who would listen but especially decision makers.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you haven't been north of the border yet, you must. And when you're both retired, you need to travel through BC and the Yukon to Alaska. That has been our favorite trip to date.

And the Canadians who own property in the US and *don't* plan to sell?
Yeah. They'll be fine, over there.
Hey hosers! [friendly wave]

Landlords say they can’t afford a rent freeze, but have $2.5M to give to Cuomo. Reminds me of corporations that spend millions to bust unions instead of just raising wages and offering benefits. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.

The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence prior to the start of tonight’s baseball game vs the Minnesota Twins. Canada is a good friend. 🇨🇦
