Yay!!!
Thanks for reviving this thread. I was about to do so, since we are living in more interesting times these days.

Who knew he had Canadian citizenship? Well I didn’t know anyway.
Here is some detailed reporting.
Jasper is lovely, but it’s surrounded by mountains and gets about the same amount of cloud cover as Vancouver. It’s an intriguing choice for a stargazing sanctuary.
Don’t whine at Canada.
Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves ‘worse than tariff’
Jack Daniels isn’t available on any local shelves in Tennessee either, so why are they fussing?
(It’s a dry county.)
Canada is a big importer of Jack Daniels, so they are going to feel it in a loss of profits. Germany imports a lot too, and who knows what they will be doing about American liquor.

As an ice hockey player, I am concerned about our official beer getting saddled with tariffs for no good reason. (Labatt Blue, in case folks not near the border are wondering.)
[I ‘earned’ a “trophy” equipment bag from winning a USA Hockey tournament sponsored by Labatt. My team will probably just keep over-paying for our beer. The only acceptable substitute is Molson Canadian. Not gonna help with those tariffs and not as easily available here. Michigan’s own Shorts Local’s Light is pretty popular with both my teams, but it’s kinda heavy (in spite of its name) for pre-game consumption.] It’s literally called “beer league”, everyone…
I foresee day trips in your future!
Not until the Gordie Howe bridge opens this fall. 
[The tunnel makes me very nervous and the people who own the Ambassador bridge are complete bastards.]
Mass shooting last night near the Scarborough Town Centre. Nobody killed, fortunately, but it could have been much, much worse. This kind of thing is really unusual here.
Trump will insist it be renamed after a US athlete. Like Arnold Palmer, for example.
“You know, as soon as I saw that bridge, made out of the finest AMERICAN CONCRETE, so long, so firm, my mind immediately thought of Arnold Palmer…”
