O.K. we – Canada – are getting way too much attention in the USA these days. I am getting nervous, you really don’t want to piss these guys off! With U.S. President Barack Obama in the midst of an intense political fight to pass comprehensive health-care legislation this year, U.S. opponents have returned to a [...]

Ah Houston?…we have a BIG PROBLEM!

Posted in Humor, Saint John NB, Social Commentary, canada, space shuttle, womens issues on July 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Posted in Bay of Fundy, Humor, Lifestyle, Saint John NB, Social Commentary, canada on June 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »

O.K., now I am really confused. We’re in – we’re out? What’s going on. Every day last year before the “New 7 Wonders of Nature” contest round 1 closed, I faithfully, and I mean faithfully (I set my alarm daily to make sure!) went on-line and voted for the Bay of Fundy (for some reason [...]

Election Canadian Style!
