My View from Mill Bay
A simpler time
Victoria, British Columbia
You see these people, walking about and getting on with their lives, knowing that every single one of them has passed on.
In Canada: $35 million emergency COVID funding will provide PPE, translation services to farms with Temporary Foreign Workers.
In select provinces, support funding will be doled out on a 50:50 cost shared ratio, up to a maximum of $100,000 — unless you are a woman, or a youth, or an anglo. “This is further proof of Canada’s commitment to fight systemic racism in this country.” a government official was heard to say.

Looney Tunes creator couldn’t be reached for comment.
Mel Blanc is very happy indeed.
Quick, Gladys, pass the chile. I feel the need for a volcanic eruption.
NBC News offered this gem: “A last-ditch global warming fix? A man-made ‘volcanic’ eruption” to cool the planet.” Its article proclaimed, “Scientists and some environmentalists believe nations might have to mimic volcanic gases as a last-ditch effort to protect Earth from extreme warming.”
It’s a stinker but hey, anything to save the planet and ourselves from ourselves.
Males told to display toxic masculinity by farting at every opportunity to stop the spread of Covid 19 and to prevent global warming.
Be a toxic male.
More Liberal-speak – with an honorable mention by the NDP:
Liberals, NDP vote to shut down Conservatives’ renewed push to examine WE affair.
The Liberal chair of the Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC), Ruby Sahota, outlined her reasoning for shutting down further study of the issue, arguing that Conservative House leader Karen Vecchio’s motion to review the reasons for prorogation and to call for the advanced disclosure of WE Charity-related documents presupposes the reason for dissolving Parliament.
Liberal code for: you’re fooked.
We’re the government and you’re not.
I told ya so.
What was supposed to be the tool to mitigate the spread of Covid 19 by way of an economic Armageddon and to flatten the curve has morphed into a continuation of said lockdown to prepare ourselves for the onslaught of seasonal respiratory illness – in other words – the seasonal flu.
If we do not take back our lives people, this madness will never ever end.

Perigeux! Finally. I had dreams of Perigeux as well but unlike Limoges they were not nightmares.
Perigeux – two thirds finished. 600 kilometers completed or, for those piedometer freaks out there, that equates to about 660,000 steps. 300 kilometers to go, or 330,000 steps.
I can’t believe it!
Looking back there has been a multitude of experiences and many, many people I have met:
Robert from Leavan Belgium – encyclopedia man;
The girls from Maastricht. Violin and guitar players – great;
The nuns of the Vezelay Abbaye:when they sang they were like angels from heaven;
Humberta and the Dutch family at the L’Esprit le Chemin. Dutch torture;
Peter from Belgium – cue ball without a hat;
Jean Pierre from Paris- therapist;
Michael and Stepheny from Paris – the vapourizer;
Angelina fron Uzbekistan – an angel;
Boules man and wife at Premery- in love forever;
Crazy Dutchman at Premery- where is my cruise ship;
Bistro owners at Premery – Basquing in the sun;
Philip and Antonia from Dachau Germany – bonding;
Gunter from Dusseldorf; a 10 beer a day man;
Berry, the flying Dutchman
The Von Trappe Family from Normandy
Frederick, Dauphine and Bruno from Paris – wonderful charactures from Paris
Pascal, from Strasbourg
Samuel the philosophical Frenchman trapped in a Hell’s Angel’s body
Fabian at the Dognon – not Favio Dave – Fabian;
Yannick from Denmark – happy with his girlfriend here;
Michel from Belgium – the organic farmer;
Laurent- as in Saint Laurent;
Guy, the anorexic Pilgrim
Gill, the model mathematician – curses the gods of the Pilgrims
Bridgitte, the woman from Lyon -awesome!
As I am sure there are many more to come.
Another nice thing about this trip is that I haven’t watched television since leaving Canada 15 July. Doesn’t really matter as there is nothing on anyway.
This just in from a UN speech writer:
“Stercore Foraminis” is a Latin expression meaning shit-hole
Thinking of placing this Latin verse above the doors leading into the UN’s General Assembly.
On another note.
After listening to our Prime Minister – yes Trudeau – in all of his socking glory to ban the use of the word “man” from the Canadian lexicon, I thought of this:
Only in Canada this becomes this:
Mankind becomes People-kind
Peter Mansbridge becomes Peter Peoples-bridge
Man eaters becomes Purple People-eaters
Manipulate becomes People-pulate
Manitoba becomes People-toba
Man oh Man becomes People – oh – People (Sermon on the Mount)
Hey Man becomes Yo people
Manager becomes People-er
Mandate becomes People-date
Mandatory becomes People-datory
Mandala becomes People – dala
Manhattan becomes People – hattan
Manhole becomes People – hole (Peep Hole for short)
Well, you get the picture. Anyone caught using the word “man” in any form, connotation, singularly or in a compound way, etc.. will be brought up in front of the Canadian Hu-People Rights Commission – People oh People….Wake up. We do have an imbecile for a Prime Minister!
Hey, Blame Margaret
Song of the day dedicated to Prime Minister Trudeau:
Happy Friday. Read ya Monday.
