Just heard on the news that the YMCA here in Quebec will now longer known under that name:
"The YMCA of Greater Montreal will now be
known as The Ys of Québec to convey new aspirations of development that will
enable it to serve more people. This new name better reflects the Y's
contribution in all areas of activity throughout the province of Quebec. The
name change takes effect immediately and is accompanied by an adjustment to
the business model and a new visual identity, logo, signature and Web site."
Can't have that 'Christian' in there any more, I guess, even in as generic a name as the YMCA has become. I hope people are going to protest this.
Sorry definitely off topic - where are all the polls we were lambasted with not so long ago. Me thinks the Libs aren't doing so good, if they were we would have polls every other day. Anyone know what gives.
Why this blog? Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice
of an ordinary Canadian
yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

mailserver in Europe)
I can't answer or use every
tip, but all are
appreciated!

Voted for him and he wins.
How is it that I can't win a lottery.
exactly dolly.
had the libs made a single breakthrough in a single riding in the polls , CBCpravda and CTV(tass) would be all over it like a fat boy on a twinkie.
right now with Iggy at the helm , there has been no change. the coolition is dead as Borat Dions leadership and the media is mum.
