An old Michel Rivard song has been on my mind lately. It speaks of the Québécois experience in North America. But I think we can all relate now.

"C'est pas toujours facile d'être seule au milieu
D'un continent immense où ils règlent le jeu,
Où ils mènent la danse, où ils sont si nombreux" #cdnpoli

Right now, we* get an extra 2 minutes and 30 seconds of daylight with each passing day. By the end of February the rate of change will accelerate to nearly 3 minutes of extra sunlight per day.

*Numbers will vary depending on latitude. Check your local listings.

Merry Christmas to all those celebrating. Happy Wednesday to all those who are not. And I hope this day passes bearably and swiftly for anyone struggling today.

I wrote about the reaction to the shooting of a CEO.

"It seems to me that when you create a world where human life has been made as cheap as possible, you will eventually find you live in a world where your human life is deemed by others to be cheap, too."

Hey local peeps. The Gathering Place is looking for deodorant to fill their Christmas stockings. They have a company who committed to doing 400 stockings. Just need deodorant to add. Anyone maybe have a spare they can add to a collection we could get going? #NLbluesky
