Touché.

I wish. But I didn't see it with Jack. That "moment" in 2011 was simply the seizing of a short term window of opportunity in Quebec ... not much changed in the rest of Canada.

What's your point?

In the popular working definition of "a shack in the woods of Cape Breton", the lack of indoor plumbing is central.
So I have a few questions.

I check in and lurk ... but don't engage much, beyond the occasional like.

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America.

At least until tomorrow.

CTF is NOT a "taxpayer watchdog".
Its an astroturf group that pretends to be grassroots but is in fact funded by private, corporate interests with a rightwing agenda of slashing gov't services in favor of unregulated private sector. Given their hidden finances, its not even clear that its Cndn.

LOL. Only reason that Trudeau has a political legacy of "good works" is b/c the NDP stuck with his Govt to secure improvements in the lives of ordinary Canadians ... dental care, labour rights, pharmacare, day care, etc. All at great cost to their own political futures as Trudeau self-destructed.

Why I can never be in a book club, even though I read lots of books and would love to discuss them.

Is ABC replacing Jimmy Kimmel with a reboot called "Third Reich From The Sun"?

Air Canada strike ends after tentative deal reached with flight attendants union Air Canada and the union representing its flight attendants have reached a tentative deal to end a strike that began on Saturday morning.

Wow. This is the most impressive win I have seen for organized labour in Canada in many years. Congrats to the rank and file and leadership of CUPE and the flight attendants' union! #Solidarity www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Good luck with Cape Sable Island! We drove down there in glorious sunshine last week, crossed the causeway and then spent our afternoon in an impenetrable fog bank!!

And if you are starting at the Hages Lane end, that initial walk through the Freeman Nature Reserve is probably considered "woods walking".
