Music Making History: Gordon Lightfoot & The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Gordon Lightfoot wanted
The Edmund Fitzgeral
remembered.
Brave men were unable to save that great ship and crew.
I'm moved to tears picturing the terror, the bitter sadness,
of 29 husbands, fathers,
sons and brothers
recalling final words
to loved ones.
Ya done good, Gord.

Looking ahead to next week and the prospect that the UCP will introduce back-to-work legislation to end the teachers' strike...

Rumour has it they are considering invoking both time allocation and the notwithstanding clause.

Here's why that's doubly dubious.+

Snowbirds who fly to the United States every year during the coldest months of the year should reconsider their plans. Pumping money into the American economy is not a wise move when people are boycotting that country.

β€œIt can’t possibly get any worse than this!” moaned the pessimist.
β€œSure it can!” chirped in the optimist.

A collage featuring the title "The Littlest Hobo" in bold yellow letters, with four images of a German Shepherd dog: one sitting at a desk with papers, one standing near trees, one near a brick wall, and one in a natural outdoor setting with greenery, all set against a black background.

On Oct. 11, 1979, the first episode of the revival of The Littlest Hobo debuted on CTV. Based off a 1958 movie and 1960s TV show, it aired for six seasons and 114 episodes.
With its famous theme song, it is beloved by generations of Canadians.
This is the story.

I started following him during covid. He was a trusted source of clear rational information during a turbulent time in health care. Felt like I knew him. Funny, artistic, kind. A great loss on so many levels.

β€žIf you have a heart, don't ignore. My family and I are hungry.
We don't have food.
I feel so sad because I'm asking
for help and I can't provide food
for my family.
I'm a victim of war in which I lost
everything I owned:
my job and my beautiful home.
Please help me.β€œ

They truly are. We had a hive for few years- absolutely fascinating. Everyone should get to the inside of a hive at least once, it’s just wonderful to observe.

$60 million for Port of Churchill infrastructure - Manitoba Co-operator The federal and provincial governments announced a combined $60 million in funding for infrastructure supporting the Port of Churchill.Β  The February 23

A little history on the Port of Churchill since it is in the news again.
The port used to be really busy until Harper sold the Wheat Board.
Eventually the rail and port deteriorated.
PM Trudeau provided $117 million to help the new owners buy it in 2018.

Danielle Smith says it’s about cost recovery.
But it’s not.
It’s MAGA-flavoured ideology dressed as health policy β€” cruel, conspiratorial, and destined to cost lives.
Charging for vaccines isn’t savings. It’s sabotage.
