TIL:
In 1982, then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau was travelling with his sons on a train through Salmon Arm, B.C. during a vacation. Met by protesters unhappy with his handling of the economy, Trudeau gave them the middle finger. The gesture became known as the “Salmon Arm Salute.”

I hope you aren’t suggesting any action that would violate the spirit of our constitution.
The Canadian Frown of Disapproval is taught to all schoolchildren, beginning in Grade 3, but the ethical considerations regarding its use are taught as paramount. The CFD is only to be used against foreign enemies of our nation, and then only preferably in self-defense.
I don’t believe Mr. Kudlow was deliberately CFD’d. He’s too trivial a target for such an attack, and we are not, in most circumstances, a vengeful nation. It’s more likely that he watched too many Canadian news sources and received a cumulative but still sub-lethal dose.
I’m sure I speak for all or most Canadians when I extend to Mr. Kudlow the traditional “sorry” and our wishes for a swift recovery, and our sincere hope that he does not get mangled by a manure spreader or develop tertiary syphilis or get eaten by snakes in the near future.

We must be thankful that he was not travelling through Dildo, NL.

The “special place in Hell” response legitimately cracked me up.

I keep wondering if this has anything to do with the pussy hats.
Either way: there are people saying cross-border travel is a privilege, not a right. Sure, fine, but the time to tell someone they can’t cross over (all else being equal) is before they try and cross, given that they’d already obtained all the permits etc. If someone has the sales tax permit, has been accepted as a vendor at the festival, has filled out all the other permits, etc. etc., this is just being a jerk.
Not to mention the whole point of these festivals is to get access to vendors outside of the usual locals.

So remember when we were talking about how by the time you go to university you should be a grown-up?

Yeah, that official looking court document just might be real.

So I just got this on my phone:
I didn’t take any of “Sophie’s” instructions. Blocked and reported as spam.
The “are you ready…” question sounds an awful lot like the loyalty questions Trump so loves.

Sophie was just… giving you a choice.
What’s so bad about that?

Beginning Friday or Saturday and continuing through the Canada Day long weekend, expected daytime highs are in the low to mid thirties with humidex values into the mid forties. Overnight low temperatures will only fall to the low twenties, providing little or no relief from the heat.
There is still uncertainty regarding when the heat event will come to an end. Current indications suggest the heat could persist into the middle of next week.
This will likely be the most significant heat event of the season thus far. Heat warnings will be issued as the event draws nearer.
Not happy.

Not happy AND my AC seems to be on the fritz since they replaced my water heater last winter (the water tank links with the heating/cooling unit; heating seems to work).

We escaped the apparent rainstorms other areas of Southern Ontario received today. Now onto the heat.
Going to be quite the Canada Day weekend!

…and it was interesting - old Ian (now 71) can still play up a storm and put on a show. What he can’t do is carry a tune anymore. Time has caught up to his voice.
