For the last few weeks, things have looked pretty grim for the Conservative Party; of course, that’s assuming you believe what the mainstream media tells you. The CBC, CTV, the National Post, and of course Pravda The Toronto Star all seem to be actively campaigning for the NDP/Liberal coalition. However, Ekos released a poll yesterday (well, it’s…

Read moreAsk me About My Weekend
Funny you should ask… I swear to you that what you are about to read is true. As you read it, you may think I’m making this up, or embellishing the story. Please believe me when I say that I am not. Last Saturday, upon consultation with my wife and another family, we elected to…

That is why it is the best dish to serve.

I admit it. I hate packing. I hate everything to do with packing. I hate unpacking more.
