On the home front I thoroughly enjoyed the long, extended fall with pleasant weather. What I did not enjoy was ‘da Devil trying to get me with Influenza A and pneumonia the first go around and Covid for my second stay in the hospital both in December. I escaped again! The other members of the family have hunkered down in this colder weather, I think we are all waiting for spring!

  Every night I watch the news and I feel sorry for the Palestinians getting the dickens bombed out of them! I’m amazed at the amount of tunneling done in Gaza, somebody spent a lot of money getting the tunnels made and taking away all the dirt! These appear to be not just holes in the ground but are steel aligned and re-enforced tunnels. And no where have they found any hostages. It would appear to me that the hostages are either dead or in another country, they’re not in Gaza. I hope this is all over soon but my suspicion tells me it could be something much bigger.

  Now, it has come to light that the present Government has allowed 500,000 refugees into Canada this past year. Montreal and Toronto are complaining that they don’t have enough money and resources to take care of these people. Both the premier of Quebec and the mayor of Toronto have asked the Government for more money. Do they need more money or are they just using this as an excuse to be able to get more money? One thing the Conservatives are saying that I don’t agree with, is they would limit the number of Immigrants entering Canada. This country was built on Immigration! As near as I can see there is still a labor shortage in Canada.

  Trudeau’s idea of a qualified Immigrant is one that will vote for him once they are here. Labor skills be damned! Will we ever be rid of this Trudeau government??

  Joke of the week: It is a rotten deal when Sophia can divorce Justin but the rest of us are stuck with him!
