I took part in a service for a Roman Catholic, French Monctonian. The service was bilingual with a former priest now retired Judge sharing scripture and prayer in French. Even my Anglophone self offered some French words. The man’s wife was Anglophone Protestant.

I was visiting a family last week and I’m still thinking about it. The adult daughter said, ‘I have to say something. You look exactly like my father. It’s haunting!’ I looked at her mum, whom I have known for years. She smiled and said, ‘You really do. He died when he was 50 from a stroke.’

If I didn't trust Mr LeBrun's reporting as much as I do, I'd have figured he made up Freek Schep, leader of the Ostrich Convoy.
It looks like about 15-20 vehicles turned out for the Halifax ostrich convoy led by Gen Z Dutch maple syrup merchant Freek Schep
The ostrich convoy was lined up along a highway on the outskirts of Halifax earlier this morning

To recap: Trump said Zohran isn’t a jihadist and is going to do a good job, even as Zohran still maintained Trump is a fascist.

Antigonish.
Just sounds like it’s looking for a fight.
It’s like they are just daring Gonish’s to try something…
