Today is your day Boomer! While we await the "final" results from the recent BC election, it is time to reflect on the big American presidential election in about two weeks. Trump vs Harris is a close one and, of course, very interesting for many Canadians just to the north. A new poll says about 2/3 of all Canadians would vote for Kamela(if given the chance) and only 20% would support Donald. Not surprising, I guess, given Canada's more "social-democratic" traditions and values. More from the Leger poll: "Those who intend to vote Conservative in the next Canadian election were split on where their hypothetical ballot would land. Forty-five per cent would back Trump while 42 per cent said they’d vote for Harris." What about Boomers? "Canadians 55 and older, Quebecers and women were more likely to support Harris." Interest here: "Seventy per cent of Canadian respondents in the new poll were interested in the current U.S. election." More violence: "Most Canadians — 65 per cent — were worried about potential violence and uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the election." Watching: "Forty-two per cent said they wouldn’t be watching election night but will follow the results after. Fifteen per cent have no interest at all." Boomers, if you are like me, you will be glued to the news media on November 5. Realize just one thing....about 3/4 of Canadian products are sold in America. What they do....has a HUGE impact on us. Cheers.
Today is your day Boomer! My Dad left this world this week. I was there in-person to say goodbye and, of course, it was very, very difficult. But rather than focusing on the negatives of his downfall, I want to share with you my Dad's many contributions to my life. First off, Harold (Hal) shared his name with me and helped raise me as one of six kids in our family. Imagine the financial impact a family of eight had on his work life and mental state! Speaking of that, he taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and a good education. All his kids have university degrees or trades tickets. He showed me the supreme importance of family gatherings, how to flyfish...even when he was colour blind....how to use tools, play high-level bridge, eat organic foods, he taught me how to drive....even though I ruined the transmission on our old car....he showed me how to sail, save and invest money, have an appreciation for nature, he was a role model for me as I moved through heart/s
