I love reading news on old papers. This one is from my hometown of Acton, Ontario. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=848853604496466&set=a.152390007476166
This is what I see when leaders of democratic countries meet with Trump. Reverse rolls when Trump meets dictators and autocrats who take no shit from him. Don’t be the little dog.
I voted! I was not especially enthused with any candidates, but I will not surrender my right to have a small hand in the outcome. And who knows… maybe one of my votes was for a “Landslide Annie” (or “Landslide Andy”)! :-)
When Jean Chrétien was our PM, he didn’t need no security! You got in his face and he gave you a “Shawinigan Handshake”! Much more effective than Trump's handshake. On that note, although Mr. Chrétien just turned 91, maybe we should send him to Mar-A-Lago for a “negotiation” with the Orange Goblin!
Here is to my brother, Steve, who served in the Canadian forces for 25 years before retiring to the private sector. This picture is from the early 1970s when he was off to Camp Borden.
A picture from early 1940s of my dad (middle), Uncle Lawrie (left) and Uncle Tom (right). Tom served overseas during WWII with the Royal Canadian Navy, while Lawrie was assigned to 24 Field Ambulance in Valcartier, Quebec. My dad told me he *tried* to enlist, but was turned away for being too young!
