Keeping warm

— 11.21.2019 08:41 AM

A close friend of mine has a great story to tell.  Here she is:

Warren, I bought that coat for my ex-boyfriend, who didn’t want to keep it when I left.  I gave it to someone who needed it.  After two years, this person recognized me on the street! This coat kept both of us warm – with smiles on our faces.  I asked if I could take a photo, to encourage people to give away their unused warm clothing.  

Today I am taking my winter stuff out, and making little bags with socks, gloves, hats, sweaters, etc. that I haven’t worn for a while.  If you know anybody that needs them, let me know!  And stay warm and have a beautiful day !

Trudeau’s cabinet, in 240 characters or less

— 11.20.2019 03:15 PM

I have to say, he has done things mostly right since losing his majority. He’s stopped overselling stuff. He’s stopped sounding cocky. He’s cut out the selfies and the governance by social media. And he’s looked genuinely humbled – morose, even.

Will it hold? Who knows? But this cabinet shuffle/realignment was the most critical of his time in power.  It needed to to address the vulnerabilities on his flanks – surging nationalism in Quebec, surging alienation in the West, and the unhappiness of the more than one million Canadians who abandoned the Liberal choice.

I think it’s done that.
