So does it count that I used to tell people I wanted to be GG?

Yep! Though I can understand *why*. Imagine having your own cook, chauffeur, etc! The public side of it (state dinners, diplomatic travels) sounds awfully tedious though.

Its funny, looking at that ......I would never want a chauffeur, nor a chef.............though, personal bread baker does have a nice ring to it.......

I just thought it would be a good way to be involved in politics without being a politician. And you get a nice house.

I stand corrected. CP24 Live at 5 led with a car accident tonight. Nature is healing.

As 'Canadian News' I'll stick this here............
When BC increases its minimum wage to $15.20 this June, it will also eliminate the second-tier status of liquor servers, merging them into the general minimum wage.
BC already has one minimum wage irrespective of age.
While $15.20 remains too low in my opinion its still a positive step, and reflects far more progressive policy than what we have here in Ontario.

Two actually; part of La Citedelle in Quebec City is a vice-regal residence (apparently M Payette preferred that one). A little busier, being the headquarters of R22R, noon gun and all that, but nice and close to Olde Quebec.
I lived near Fort York for a few years. I’m ok with the guns.

I can't see there being an election unless the LPC force one (budget too much of a bitter pill for NDP to swallow).

The NDP have already said they won't trigger an election during the pandemic, which commits them to supporting this budget.
My understanding is that the Libs are aiming for an October election, providing vaccination efforts go well and normalcy begins to return.
Call would likely be made late July/early August.
Of course......that's just hearsay.......
As such, it could be totally wrong.......
