Hi all,
So sorry to say, but just for today, we have a sick Jay.
The cold started Wednesday, and on the drive yesterday, it got worse.
As a result, no Tea & Coffee this morning.
I'll recover and we'll see you Monday.
God bless.

COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.
“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.
20 Reasons to Go It Alone: From axing federal taxes and ...

When the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982, the drafters inserted a crucial statement at the very outset:
