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! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
