In The News Today, from The Globe and Mail.

Just in time for the fall election, we're seeing a committee looking at universal pharmacare, based on a single-payer system. This would be a wonderful help to low-income seniors, like Old Yours Truly here, assuming I live long enough.

And Jean Chrétien, a former Prime Minister, known among his detractors as 'Old Crooked Mouth' has rather presciently proposed that we should thumb our noses (collectively or individually?) at Old Jurassic Bark and 'Mitch The Bitch' McConnell and his Republicans, et al, and just go to Ms. Meng with our apologies and say, "Wanzhou, My Dear, please feel free to go home to your people whenever you wish, because we have stopped your extradition to the USA, and we sincerely regret this inconvenience to you and yours."

And then, Peace should begin to return to The Valley. I have always believed that we were purposely dragged into that mess by our hostile neighbors in the present U.S. administration because Old Jurassic Bark doesn't like us, and we're the 'Little Guys' in all that, and his people, from under their rocks, wanted to enjoy seeing us sweat while caught between a rock and a hard place. And our own 'fearless leader', young Justin Trudeau, knew all about that impending grab of Ms. Meng Wanzhou weeks or months beforehand, and didn't move a muscle to deflect it or avoid it, or even warn her away in time to have avoided it. So there's plenty of mistakes all around in that convoluted fiasco.

And uncharacteristically for me, I'm right beside Old Crooked Mouth on this one. Let her go, and the sooner the better.  I might need a new camera or a new computer one of these days, and we know where they are made, don't we?
