  7. Thank you. We have the CD and listen to it every few months.
    Russia used the D-Day commemorations to signal an apparent détente over the Ukraine conflict, as Vladimir Putin met the country’s new leader for the first time and called for an end to fighting on both sides.
    On the sidelines of ceremonies to mark the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings, President Putin held what aides described as a brief but significant meeting with Petro Poroshenko, the victor in last month’s Ukrainian presidential elections.

  10. The headline at CBC.Ca reads: ”Manon Perreault, NDP MP, faces criminal charges,”

    ”I thought the New Democratic Party was made up of honest men and women who attended anti-tarsand meetings and shopped at their local Co-op. Guess I was wrong.”

  15. Tommy Roe does a fine tribute song to a”cinderella” story, however Dan Fogelbergs’ “RUN FOR THE ROSES” wraps it all up best, for me.
    Thanks for the post ,EDB.

  17. O’narcissist’s legacy: o’groper.
    “*This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

    Walter Russell Mead’s PTSD.
    “In any case, the reset America needs now is in the White House, and we must hope that the President presses the button soon. It is much easier to lose credibility than to regain it; the longer U.S. policy drifts in its current odd mix of ambition and retrenchment, the less likely it is that the President will be able to turn things around.”

    “*The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

  18. Articles on the entitled POTUS and the everyman’s stallion shown on the same day exemplify the future of the U.S.A. Kate.
    My bet is on the real stallion, even though the North East of the U.S.A. continues its slide back to European dreaming. Cheers;

  23. “The media, including Sun News Network, has covered this story closely. And now we have made a decision: Sun News Network will not report the name of the killer. We will not show his photo.
    When it comes to mass murderers, too often, it is attention and infamy they crave. Luckily, shootings of this nature are rare in Canada.
    And in the US, they account for less than one per cent of all gun-related deaths. Far more people have been killed in the bad neighbourhoods of Chicago than were killed in all the mass shootings combined. But these rare incidents are never forgotten. And with the rise of social media, they’ve become a spectacle.
    It’s easy to report on the life of the killer, to scour his deranged Facebook page, to speculate about motive, but doing so could actually encourage the perception that his heinous acts are somehow justified.”

  28. Funny comment about Winnipeg still having frozen ground from Allan’s link:
    James in Alberta
    This is a global warming issue. With the earth heating up frost is driven deeper into the ground. The only way out of this situation is to raise taxes.

  30. Gracias to all y’all.
    I saw commercials put out by some public education group, the content of which can be summed by concluding a vote for Hudak will kick pregnant women to the curb and children will have their toys taken away.
    I hereby register my disgust.
