I too have enjoyed Brusan's comments - looked forward to them. I'm not here often, but when I am I look for familiar names. I noticed he was missing and checked, only to see that he is no longer a member. Unfortunate.
Does he spend Winter in Florida? Maybe he'll return when he is home again. He must have something more to say about polar bears, Ontario bush life and politics.
What does everyone think of this? A 58 year old Canadian chef living in Toronto counseled 124 deaths in several countries; convinced people to voluntarily die using poison he provided.
"The U.K.'s National Crime Agency was initially informed of 272 buyers in Britain but recently learned of 16 further purchases made before Law's arrest. In all, 93 Britons are now believed to have died after placing an order from Law's websites. ...
Ontario's Peel Regional Police declined to say how investigators learned of the additional buyers. The provincial task force handling the case has previously said Law was believed to have sent 1,200 packages to more than 40 countries, and roughly 160 to Canadian addresses. ...
Interpol distributed the names and addresses of Law's customers — provided by Canadian investigators — for authorities to carry out wellness checks in the U.S., France, Malta, Australia and elsewhere. ... well as police in Montreal, Calgary and Moose Jaw, Sask., deaths have been reported in multiple countries including Italy, Ireland and New Zealand."
This isn't the turn I expected this thread to take, but okay. After all, "Canadian News" is no more.
More comments later, as the matter takes shape.
Quite right. I got it wrong. This is not the place for headlines.
On the other hand, I grew up in a house where we had two furnaces, one for the main floor, one for upstairs. Bedrooms were downstairs, nothing wrong with sleeping in a cold bedroom. Two furnaces seems more like a custom build decision than standard housing.
When it was only my mom left in the 6 bedroom house, she used the upstairs furnace. Since 1973, both furnaces have not had any problems. They can be used at the same time, but my impression was one at a time, depending on purpose. Do you want upstairs under floor heating, or warm upstairs bedrooms?
I put on one of my long skirts this morning and was ready to walk the dog when I looked in the mirror and decided that I looked like a Polish potato farmer ready to collect the harvest in my skirt. Yikes. I took that off and put on a suede mini-skirt that I kept after downsizing. It was too nice to give away, but I didn't think I'd wear it again.
I remember watching Clockwork Orange when I was barely 18 years old (when Restricted films were restricted) and looking at the main character's mother with confusion. She was in her 60s, grey hair dyed purple or pink, and she wore mini-skirts. I had to think about that for a while - whether 60 year old purple haired women will be wearing mini-skirts when I am 60.

There's no way I'd wear a suede miniskirt in the cold of a Canadian winter to walk the dog. The dog would most likely jump up and get muddy feet all over the skirt and ruin the suede and my goose-bumped legs. I'll stick to my long, warm skirts that I gather potatoes in and my 80 something year old pink hair under a touque.
When she wore skirts or dresses, my ex always opted for "below the knee, above the ankle." I once asked her why she had no miniskirts, as she had a great pair of legs.
Her reply? "I don't wear miniskirts, precisely because I know I have a great pair of legs."
Never mind. She could absolutely rock those "below the knee, above the ankle" skirts and dresses. We may have had our differences, but her choice of clothing and manner of dressing was not among them.
