Good for you for keeping a positive attitude and planning to make the best of it!

Whichever we choose, let’s remember that time change was initiated when 80% of the population in many countries worked agriculture and benefited from an extra hour of sunlight to bring in the crops. That was many ,many years ago. Changing clocks is a pain in the neck and achieves nothing today.

I know I won’t get much support for my opinion. First congratulations to Brad and the team. But, how on earth did curling become an Olympic sport?Watching the spectacular athletic achievements on hill and on the ice, I have been shaking my head. Is shuffleboard or lawn darts going to be part of the summer Olympics?

Carney is the best thing for Canada in several years. Some of the usual anti-Liberal whiners will be eating their words in a couple of years.

Oh, here we go again. A game made into a sport … a five pin bowling on ice. And what is this “hurry hard” all about? It sounds like what my wife says on a Friday night!!!

I think that Mr. Stevenson may be a single issue candidate and , if climate change does not involve locking people up with no chance of bail or parole, he may just continue to ignore it as he has ignored the debates.When the Cons were 25points ahead and a glamourous cabinet post was likely, he was enthused, but he is maybe not interested in spending part of his dotage as a mere member of the opposition.

Dave, I agree with you. It seems ridiculous, especially as most of the names were not disciples’ names. If they have to change their names, which they are not , as I understand, obliged to do, why not have Pope Randy, Pope Dustin, Pope Diddy etc.

What do highland dancing, fiddle playing, and haggis have in common? … they are all awful.What’s the difference between a bag of onions and a a set of bagpipes? ….nobody cries when bagpipes are chopped up .

Unlike some like Putin, Carney will not be welcomed on the group who are “ Bored of Peace”

I think it’s great that people like curling just as I enjoyed playing darts in the pub, but Olympics speak to me of fitness, stamina and sensational skills that our girl from Parry Sound showed. She just blew me away.

I hate to say this but “ What if Canada Post had a strike and nobody noticed?”

This winter has been a disaster. I was stranded a month ago in Toronto for two days. Fortunately I was paid for two nights at the Holiday Inn because it was not the weather but technical issues ( deicing) that cancelled my first flight and then weather the next day. A few of us were told we wouldn’t get a flight for three days and so we rented a mini van and paid an arm and a leg as no company wanted us to do a one way to the Soo.What with the deicing disasters and the weather, travelling to and from the Soo by plane is a disaster.

So what happened to the deluge of snow? Canadian weather alarmists are as bad as the Brits. For a laugh google Marty Feldman’s weather report. For a bigger laugh watch his spoof on the British football commentators on his England vs Uruguay report.

This is wonderful. This will make it so much easier to visit our daughter and vice versa.
