Reader Tips

And now for something completely different. And completely beautiful. Norwegian soprano Sissel Kyrkjebo performing Hymne Olympique at the Lillehammer Winter Olympics opening ceremony in 1994. I’ve never forgotten it.

  1. Thanks to everyone for the tips last night. Perseverance just might be the answer! 😉
    Amazingly enough, the promise of McDonalds seemed to help things substantially. I’ve already applied for a reimbursement through OHIP!!!! Wynnee-the-poop will pay it.

  2. Hope I’m not bursting your bubble Kate, but I’m pretty sure she was lip-syncing.

  3. “Juxtapose!”, the “Forward!” edition.
    Out: First Lady wants to “#BanBossy”.
    In: DNC declares POTUS to be “Like A Boss“.

  4. A beautiful person with a beautiful “gifted” voice.
    Exceptional ainters,public speakers, animal showmanship or even “blog editing” would all contain the “gifted” element!

  5. “Why I Blew the Whistle on the V.A.”
    “PHOENIX — MY decision to become a whistle-blower after 24 years as a physician in a Veterans Affairs hospital was, at first, an easy one. I knew about patients who were dying while waiting for appointments on the V.A.’s secret schedules, and I couldn’t stay silent.
    But there was no response to the two letters I sent to the Veterans Affairs inspector general, one in late October 2013 and one in early February. Going public would damage an institution I gave more than two decades of my life to, trying to make a better place for veterans to get their care. But I had to be able to sleep at night.”

  6. PET Cemetery Report.
    Liberal Ad$Cam Alert.
    Here’s da Giuseppe. Ordure in da court.
    “In late 2012, the RCMP charged Fontana with breach of trust by a public official, uttering forged documents and fraud under $5,000.”
    …-
    “All eyes on Courtroom 19”
    “When the criminal trial of Mayor Joe Fontana opens Monday morning, 370,000 sets of eyes will be trained on the London courthouse, where a three-decade political career and city hall’s future hang in the balance.”

  7. SUN TV on OPTIK TV (Telus) 803.
    Is this a free preview, or is this on the air for good?
    Most excellent!
    I enjoyed Trudeau’s squirming over the abortion scenarios. What a twit, he just cant think on his feet, whenin trouble, he looks like the rank amateur that he really is.
    But of course the Sun reporter is just a H8ter, of course……

  8. DanBC – it’s permanent, but is probably an addition to your bill. When Al Jazeera started we got an email notifying us. I haven’t heard anything from Telus about the channel now being available, and stumbled across it one evening a few weeks ago.
    I’ve since added it, and enjoy not gritting my teeth and explaining to my TV (in small words) the key items in the news story that they’re not mentioning. Bliss!

  9. Translation: the left-wing elitist class doesn’t think Horwath is biting the (invisible) hand that feeds them hard enough.
