Saturday Snap – The (Nightmare) When You’re Back in High School #cndpoli #elxn43
It’s referring to the high school he attended, not the private school he taught at. But the title of the prologue in a recent biography published about Justin Trudeau with his participation is pretty ironic given the recent brownface scandal that broke when a picture of Trudeau wearing makeup to look like Aladdin during an […]
Sasha’s Five Cutest Moments From Our “Cow Gary” trip
One of the reasons you travel with children is the opportunity to learn about and experience the world in the way they can’t from a classroom or even books. Here’s a few examples: 5. On the way into Calgary, her brother is “helpfully” giving her a history lesson. “A long time ago, there was a […]
Banff Gondola and Sulphur Mountain Summit
It’s hard to pick a favourite part of our quick trip to Calgary – seeing the pandas at the Calgary Zoo (though gorillas and hippos will always be my favourites), driving past so many of our old haunts (even tried to buzz a neighbour whose name is still on the board at our former condo […]
Pandas Adjusting Wonderfully to Calgary Zoo
We didn’t have many plans for our week off in August (ten days counting weekends on either end) but a chance conversation with a library patron has us heading to Calgary for a few days.

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Disappointed I Didn’t Win The Canada Day Contest This Year
I can’t find a reference to it on my blog which is sort of surprising since I’ll take any validation I can get! But anyhow, last year, the campground we have a seasonal site had a Canada Day decorating contest and since we were new and wanted to make a good impression, we went all […]
An Early Contender For My Favourite Book of the Year? @thejagmeetsingh #canpoli #cndpoli
I read Jagmeet Singh’s autobiography in pretty much a single sitting at our campsite this weekend and really enjoyed it. Obviously I’m a fan of Singh but I think this book would be one that anyone who enjoys memoirs would enjoy and learn from, whether they liked the NDP or not. * before it was […]
