    Once again, thank you for continuing to publish such a great blog. Reading the news and then reading your blog puts a whole different slant on things, and makes me dig deeper.

    It's also made me realize that in order for Canada to stay attractive, a lot of us who are already here have to maintain a sense of gratitude, ensure we don't get lazy, and speak up as often as needed.

    Keep up the great work!

In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...

new york run by the swiss

Remember back aways we were talking about Peter Ustinov's description of Toronto : New York run by the Swiss? There was some discussion about whether it was a compliment or an insult, although most people agreed it was meant as praise. I think we've gotten our first taste of that. Both our landlord and next-door neighbour filled us in on the recycling laws for the Peel region of Ontario. This is efficiency New York could only dream of. Or scoff at, as the case may be. [Canadian readers, I'm sure you'll want to go off and do your laundry now.] All waste is picked up once a week. Recycling is separated, similar to how it's done in New York. But there's a limit on how much non-recycling trash you can leave out: three bags per household. Certain days are unlimited trash days. Those seem to be after most major holidays, including tomorrow, post-Labour Day, so we've moved in at a good time, trash-wise. Except for those unlimited days, if you leave more than the t...
