I would like to start off the new year with this heartfelt thread to celebrate and discuss all things Canadian. We begin the year with a new government and a new feeling of optimism for our future.
I hope we can work together as countrymen (and women!) to build upon this great country and find room for acceptance and compromise. It’s no secret that I’m a Conservative supporter, however Canada will be just fine under our new PM. I like his cabinet and am looking forward to what changes may come around.
The Syrian refugee commitment is something I totally support, as an immigrant myself.
I watched some local musicians here in Montreal last night for New Year’s Eve. Nice music, though it was very, very crowded and I was a bit worried about making the last metro (subway) on time, but it all worked out.
My daughter is back from her grammie’s house and circus class starts again today. Back to work tomorrow. No school tomorrow due to a PD day so my wife is not quite back to normal yet. No more relaxing until our Hawaiian vacation in March.
My son came yesterday home from his ritual spoiling at the hands of my parents. He turned 12 a few weeks ago, so this was his first chance to take the ferry alone.
I was a wreck while waiting for the ferry. But Horseshoe Bay is certainly pretty enough. I sat outside, drank coffee and soaked up the January sun.
Then we drove back home on a thick fog. Strange weather.
