Not as tough or dangerous but it made me think of a Christmas under modular in Eritrea a while back. I still have a coffee mug from the goodie bag the Canex sent over. Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas, all.

And, oddly enough, my Captcha code road-signs are in German and Italian. :)

My father was captured in Dunkirk. Spent the war in Stalag VIIIB. I have just about all his war time records except one. They sent my grandfather a letter that said "Missing, presumed dead". I find it hard to even imagine what the emotional effect those 3 words would have on my family back then. I hate to admit it but I have worked up a real resentment to the Canadians who sat back, finished highschool or college and had great careers at the end of the war while my fathers, and my uncles were damaged goods who ended up doing shit jobs even though they deserved much better. Not just them though. I did a lot of factory jobs with Ukrainians, Hungarians etc who deserved much better from this country.
And on that note. Merry Christmas Kate and to all your fellow travelers. This website is one of the few places I visit several times a day.

"Merry Christmas Kate and to all your fellow travelers."

Definition of fellow traveler:
a person who sympathizes with and often furthers the ideals and program of an organized group (as the Communist party) without membership in the group or regular participation in its activities
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fellow%20traveler

The pejorative term fellow traveller identifies a person who is sympathetic to the ideology of a political organization, and who co-operates in the organization's political activities, without being a formal member of that organization.

About Kate

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."
