One of the things I’ve been spending too much time on is email.  I’m going to be cutting back on it and Social media in general.  Being a bit of a night owl - I’m limiting my time to 2 hours a night, and not checking email during the day.

Hey Easterners!! He who was elected by his hairstyle & sock choice was YOUR fault...NOT OURS!! You own Trudeau, not us out west!!  Justin Trudeau was generally repudiated in Western Canada, so don't blame Westerners for the mess he will leave behind.  In the early years of this century, I spent my “leisure” time at work listening to a new internet phenomenon — radio via the wire leading from the back of my computer. In this case, it was a program called “Rant with Levant” — a sometimes raucous daily program from Ezra Levant. I loved it.    On one occasion, I was listening to Mr. Levant interview the estimable Andrew Coyne, who was engaged in his own rant against Western Canadians who had separatist sympathies. I don’t remember the list of epithets hurled at us, but...
