Not my style of music. I’m increasingly amazed by what acapella is capable of these days. A U2 cover that gives me shivers down my spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckG8KpRCjHE
A delightful song, complete with intelligent lyrics and a catchy beat. It’s several orders of magnitude above what passes for popular music nowadays.
Ah, the Dave Clark Five….. part of the 1960s British Invasion.
A few years ago, PBS broadcast a documentary about the group, featuring a number of its best-known songs. The DC5 disbanded around the same time as the Beatles did, but for a different reason. They decided, by mutual agreement, to quit while they were ahead.
“Undeterred, Wall dashed off his own letter to Trudeau demanding assurances “there will be no linkage between provincial carbon tax policies and federal transfer payments or any other type of federal payments to provinces, such as infrastructure funding.”
“That’s no way to run a federation,” Wall told reporters Monday. “That’s less like how you run a federation and more like how you run a crime family.” http://www.thestarphoenix.com/mandryk+wall+politicking+contempt+trudeau+becoming+problematic/13358515/story.html

Saskatchewan’s leader Brad Wall is a statesman. We’re lucky to have him.
Ottawa on the other hand, has has a crime family boss.
Will Canada even survive to be 151?
While Mr. Trudeau appears to have relatively loose purse strings, this story says otherwise.
Re: Headgear hiding the face.
Does that include balaclavas?? Like–the ones that bank robbers wear??
PS: I wonder if the CBC ran a similar story???
The saga of Tommy Robinson, this is the speech that was banned at University of York a couple of days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao2VlpxGFe4&t=0s Tommy’s plight reminds me of that of anti communist dissidents in Soviet Russia or Cuba. It is truly bone chilling to see the extent to which the UK STASI and prosecutors in the (formerly) Great Britain are willing to go to arbitrarily silence and suppress decent.
P.S. Tommy was just arrested again, if I understand correctly less than 24 hours after giving this speech. This time apparently it turns out that filming outside of court building constitutes contempt of court.
That was a very good show about the Dave Clark Five. Most people think in the 60s you were either a Beatles fan or a Rolling Stones fan but the truth is the real rivalry was between the Beatles and the DC5. The DC5 made 18 appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show far more than other British groups.
Dave Clark was ahead of his time in that he kept control of his music and owns all the masters which is why there never have been scores of reissues and greatest hits packages of the DC5.
Here’s a quiz; no conferring. To the nearest whole number, what percentage of the world’s energy consumption was supplied by wind power in 2014, the last year for which there are reliable figures? Was it 20 per cent, 10 per cent or 5 per cent? None of the above: it was 0 per cent. Wind provided only 0.46 per cent of global energy consumption in 2014. That is to say, to the nearest whole number, there is still no wind power on Earth. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/05/wind-turbines-are-neither-clean-nor-green-and-they-provide-zero-global-energy/
Sailboats and kites are the only sensible uses of wind power.
Yes, it is very interesting and I passed it on to my email contacts.
Oh, Lorrie Goldstein of the Toronto Sun newspaper has some excellent suggestion for uses for the Justin Trudeau cardboard cutouts. http://www.calgarysun.com/2017/05/10/thirty-uses-for-justin-trudeaus-cardboard-cut-outs
My first thought was that the cardboard cutouts probably have a higher IQ.
Most people think in the 60s you were either a Beatles fan or a Rolling Stones fan but the truth is the real rivalry was between the Beatles and the DC5.
I recall that the documentary mentioned that the DC5 outsold the Beatles at least once.
While I was growing up during the 1960s, I don’t recall that DC5 songs receiving as much airplay as did those by the Beatles or the Stones, at least not in the town where I lived.
Mind you, there was only one radio station there in those days and it had a mixed format, so its playlist had something for everybody and all age groups. The result was that there were, often, songs that I would never hear unless I either travelled to a larger city or tuned into a distant station during the evenings, such as the old CKLG out of Vancouver.
The very first lp that I ever bought (with my 50cents/week allowance) was the Dave Clark V Greatest Hits in about 1964. Purchased at GEMCO … a precursor of Target. I shall always have a soft spot for the DCV … and I am certain I purchased the lp … so I could practice holding my tennis racket guitar like I had seen on Ed Sullivan … whilst wearing my Beatle Boots of course …
Only if the money obtained is destined for charity work which is sanctioned by the religious body that signed the exclusion permit. There-in lies a deeper story. Something that Justin would know all about since he visits so many of them.
I did pretty well on that quiz,guessed one percent. Seems I was foolishly optimistic.
Consider this.

“And the budget will balance itself”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is leading one of the the costliest governments since 1870, according to a study by the Fraser Institute released Thursday.
According to its data, the Liberal prime minister’s budget for 2017 amounts to the second highest year for spending, with a projected $8,337 per-person spending, putting it just $38 shy of Stephen Harper’s 2009 Conservative government, which was dealing with a recession. http://www.ottawasun.com/2017/05/11/trudeau-has-second-highest-per-person-spending-since-1870

In Obama’s transformed America … you are now a RACIST, if you want to open a Fried Chicken restaurant … in an “urban” location.
Funny story … I had a client, years ago, who had a chain of Dry Cleaners. I always assumed that his biggest users would be in the suburbs, until he corrected my erroneous assumption. His BIGGEST $$$ money-making locations were ALL in the most “urban” of “urban” settings imaginable. Seems that certain folk don’t own washers and dryers, and/or are just too “busy” to do their own laundry.
All those single professionals use dry cleaners and live in city apartments.
I just washed that Video….TOTALLY blows my mind.
