A grey day, a great day!

Yes, it is a grey day, rather wet yet warm this morning. Heavy winds are coming from the west. The windy cities of Chicago and Winnipeg will be having heavy wind warnings or, as they say, advisories. For Ottawa, rain has been predicted with a low of -8 for tomorrow night. That spells some snow and icy road conditions. The first few days of winter weather bring more than the usual number of accidents as drivers go through a period of adjustment to the new and hazardous driving conditions.

A great day for Andre Boisclair for he won his party’s leadership position, last night on the first ballot! The convention ended with a strong message for party unity with the runner-up, Pauline Marois, promising support to the new leader. When the party captures the provincial legislature, she will no doubt be given a very high position within cabinet and the appropriate portfolio. The road to that success will require consistent and quality work on the part of all supporters with the ultimate result, the separation of Quebec from Canada. Andre Boisclair will lead the way! Vive le Quebec libre!

It has been announced that the great and wonderful singer Shania Twain will be inducted into the elite group of members of the Order of Canada. She has made it from “rags to riches” with many honours on her way to music and social success. Canadians love her, Americans love her and the world should as well! Might Shania Twain become a future Governor General? Why not?
