Canada Day Eve
7 ways CBC helped build the Canada we know today
The Scum Also Rises
"There must have been a time when individuals entered politics with the goal of contributing to society, of making a meaningful contribution towards change and enlightenment: a better world for all if you will. The gratification, apparently, was derived from working in the service of others. That must have been once upon a time long, long ago in a far, distant land. Service to others. The politicians of today, hearing that, must laugh all the way to the bank. How touchingly naive."
The rest at Political Knocks.
And for extra credit, read "Stephen Harper's Canada: The Legacy of Tyrants".

Headline: Saskatchewan unhappy with foreign worker rules
"... Saskatchewan doesn't have enough domestic workers and there's - quote - 'a crying need' for workers to fill jobs."
Dare I suggest that if you can't find the workers required to staff your business without bringing in underpaid foreign workers who have no rights, then maybe you don't have a viable business plan? That the business might not be economically viable? And that you might want to consider another line of business?

Headline: Conservatives approve Gateway pipeline
Oh, it's ON.
5 times Canadians were misled about the Northern Gateway Pipeline.
Myself, I think the end times are finally in sight.
This should do it.
This, for the CPC, I believe is the bridge too far.
This should be the final showdown, and the end of our national nightmare.
Here's hoping.

Marilyn and Ella - 1955
Marilyn Monroe with Ella Fitzgerald at the the Mocambo, a popular Hollywood night club at the time.
One that would not book Ella because of segregation.
Marilyn told the manager that she would reserve a front row table every night Ella performed there.
Ella performed a week later.
Here's that rainy day ...
