Universal health care. Funding for the arts. A good record on the environment. But that was the old Canada. I was in Montreal on [...]

There is something crazy going on up here in Canada.  By some miracle of Mother Nature winter ended over night, spring was skipped entirely, and we landed head first…(white unshaven legs and all)….right smack into summer.  Now don’t get…
