I had my car in to the shop this week and upon further inspection I was informed that it needed $5,600 in repairs as the clutch assembly, a bearing and the rear seal were caput, toss in a leaking shock and a brake flush and you have me in the poor house.

“ It is also worth noting that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, whose idea for a Canadian “border czar” became the basis for the recent creation of a Canadian “fentanyl czar”, recently suggested that Canada and the U.S. jointly build a large NORAD operating base in the Arctic. So far, just one small Canadian base of this sort is actually under construction.
Whatever one might think of Donald Trump the man – and it seems millions of Canadians have chosen to hate him – people need to set aside their emotions sufficiently to at least recognize that Trump the President is dead-serious in his foreign policy goals, including or...
