Are there any sensible options (of any persuasion) to replace your resiging PM ?

Yes, the leader of the opposition party - Pierre Poilievre.

The Liberals are toast, no matter who is chosen as the new leader. They’ll need years to rebuild.

If I were a betting woman, I’d think Chrystia Freeland or Mark Carney have the best shot at being the next leader of the Liberal Party.

If you don’t follow Canadian politics, this may be a bit convoluted, but in a nutshell, the Conservatives are expected to win a HUGE majority, with the Liberals limping into third, maybe even fourth place.

Unfortunately the Official Opposition Party will most assuredly be the Bloc Québécois - a party that runs candidates in exactly ONE province, and is hellbent on the dissolution of Canada. (Let THEM become the 51st State - ROC is still happy being Canada.)

At least the aren't blowing up mailboxes and kidnapping/killing politicians like what was happening in the 70's. I remember going up there and being ignored in restaurants and stores because I didn't speak French. They found a way to take my money though, it was not a comfortable place to be so in my mind I don't really want Quebec being the 51st state without the rest of Canada joining as well.

Actually, I'm kind of partial to the thought that was put forward last week by some lady, can't remember her name, but she was part of Parliament, if I remember correctly. The proposition was that California, Oregon and Washington State become the 11th province of Canada and Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Conn., Massachusetts and Rhode Island join as well and become the 12th Province. Great Idea. The benefit package was quite tempting too. Maybe even throw in New York State as a bonus. Guess who would be the world power at that point. You'll have to lose the Loonie and Toonie though.

Elizabeth May, the leader of the Green Party. She was drunk. As usual. Pay her no mind. We certainly don’t.

For anyone familiar with Buc-ee’s (founded here in Texas), the below video is pretty funny…!!!!! :hilarious:
Be warned though, as there is language and potty humor… :cautious:;)
He also has a video where he ate something from Buc-ee’s every hour for 24 hours.
He’s also done McD’s, Five Guys, etc.

We love Buc-ee’s! No big rigs allowed, but still one of the few places we were assured the RV would fit without having to pour over Google Maps!

Mike went back home to finish the house so it can be listed on Friday. We both couldn’t be off for three days, so I stayed here to work.

I made him take Daisy with him. It’s so cold up here, I don’t want to have to take her out for all three walks every day. The snow is soooo deep, and the sidewalks are slick. It’s one thing to take her out at night by myself knowing Mike is here, it’s another when he’s almost 200 km away. If I slip and break a hip, he’d never know.

I’m going to take this time to rearrange a few things up here, as Spenser is moving in this weekend. It feels like such a pivotal point in our life. Yes, we’ve been up here for 8 months already, but we’ve always had a “home” to return to. This is now “home” … until we move into a new place, hopefully late spring.

You are very wise to avoid your hypothetical and certainly possible scenario of slipping on the ice and having no one aware of it. On a more positive topic, want to share more about your "...move into a new place, hopefully late spring"?
