My old pal Reid Ellis passed on today after a long fight with cancer. The best friend a guy could have for 47 years. Still coming to grips with a world without him.

Excellent article on the betrayal of Canada by Donald Trump. Well worth reading. www.heatherdelaneyreese.com/p/someone-fi...
Someone finally said no to Trump
Yesterday, right as negotiations with our closest ally were collapsing, Donald Trump appeared to have no cares in the world as he posed for glamour shots for his new presidential headshots. In a compi...

Toronto and Montreal do love to chirp at each other but if anyone comes after Montreal, we’ll drop the gloves for our sibling we love the best.
I’ll put this in terms Americans will understand. In the words of your greatest president, Ich bin ein Montréaler
I wonder if this has any effect on Carney’s decision to walk away.

Whatever the fuck the "deal" is, Trump will tear it up in hours or days. We all know that, right?
Why are we trying to come to a trade agreement with someone who unilaterally tore up the last agreement he signed?

No Deal To Be Had
The deadline for the latest round of trade negotiations is two days away.

"let it die, then. If the island airport didn’t already exist today nobody would seriously propose to build it there, and it’s not some kind of tragedy that the economic fundamentals of a small regional airport don’t support its continued existence without generous policy concessions."

Beautiful day for a bike ride along the lake shore, blighted only by the ruins of Ontario Place
There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.
