Who will tell Trudeau? (Or, O’Toole…..to be determined September 20)

Unfortunately, Canada doesn’t have a Nigel Lawson – certainly not in our opposition politicians like Erin O’Toole.

Up where the clouds can bump your hat off

Because the elevation is up there, the clouds can bump your hat off sometimes, and the stars….well…they just like to show off .

But my point is this: She’s getting cooler at night. Starting be an extra blanket kind of night. That’s okay, but soon, very soon, the frost will set in. The wind (which they call Mariah) will start demonstrating her constant ability to blow a man’s hat off much better than the clouds.
