The prime minister was outraged and has ordered officials to get to the bottom of this. News reports, based on leaked security documents, allege the government of the People’s Republic of China actively interfered in recent Canadian elections, with the aim of defeating Conservative Party candidates and electing Liberals. The prime minister finds this very […]
For eleven hours Tuesday the Liberals pretended she didn’t exist. At least not for the purpose of answering questions on what she knew and when she knew it. The government is desperately filibustering a House of Commons committee that wants the Prime Minister’s chief of staff to answer questions about foreign interference in Canada’s electoral […]
I’ll admit it, I am too lazy to finish a post for today. Or too busy doing other things. I’ll let you decide which. But I figured I should provide you with an opportunity to laugh – even if I am making you read the jokes.
I thought I would wait until later in the day to do a Monday humor post. Most of us have finished work by now, and maybe you need something to make you smile. Even if it isn’t a need, I hope you get a chuckle from these images. Some Mondays feel that way, don’t they?
Planning about a trip to London in a few months got me thinking about a previous visit. This post is from this day in 2017. There were two Yodas floating around when I was last in Trafalgar Square in central London. Darth Vader was there too. It wasn’t just Star Wars characters though. Death put in appearance […]
Just in case you were wondering…in our less than scientific poll on people’s use of the TikTok app on their phones: Forty-four per cent (44%) of respondents said they would never have TikTok on their phone, but do have other social media apps. I didn’t answer the survey, but that is the category I would […]
The day is almost over, and I need to lighten up a little. I’ve got a busy weekend ahead – though I would describe it as “good busy.” I’m hoping to get caught up on a few things that I didn’t get to this week, but they are self-imposed deadlines. So to end your Friday, […]

This week the Canadian government banned TikTok from government phones, following the lead of several other countries. In the US, legislation has been introduced that would ban the app entirely. There are security concerns about the data the app collects, and the ability of the government of China…
If a picture is worth a thousand words, today’s post is a novella. Or at least a long story. These pictures were all taken at the Petrified Forest in Cairo (as were yesterday’s). If you are ever in the area, I think it is worth the visit.
Certainly there’s no chance of not being able to see the forest for the trees. There are no trees in this forest. But there used to be, which is why the Petrified Forest is a protected area in a Cairo suburb. It is a place few tourists know about, few Egyptians also. If you want […]
