  It's a good thing God has such a great sense of humour .     As I sit here with a Tylenol bottle and a Neo citron placed to my side, I often think that God must have a good sense of humour .   As March comes to a close on the Canadian Prairies, a big snowstorm has replaced the melted snow once again. Just as I was ready to start my garden and enjoy spring, the weather turned, bringing flu and dampening my enthusiasm. The creator enjoys practical jokes and satire.   I think the one thing there is no humour in is this incredible racist underbelly arising from the ashes in the new MAGA world. One would think that in a world that has been brought so closer together by the internet, there is no way these archaic, hateful and mean-spirited philosophies can still merit any basis in our day-to-day reality.   The Election of Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans have sent shock waves around the world.

  Well, after the first day of campaigning, one can only wonder when the rhetoric, cheap shots, and basic gutter ball politics will end and an effective show of policy and choice for Canadians will begin.   Alberta's Premier, Danielle Smith, recently made a statement in an interview with Steve Bannon's Breitbart News. She mentioned that she has requested the White House to postpone the April 2 tariffs due to their potential impact on the Conservative Party's election prospects.

  Thank God it's Friday! It's time for me to grab my camera bag, head to parts unknown, and record vlog segments for TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Hopefully, I'll avoid  the ever-present battle raging between Canada and the USA.   My initial gut feeling is to head to Calgary's Farmers Market to vlog a stroll through both locations. Calgary has one of the best Farmers Markets in Western Canada, and even if you don't buy anything, it is always a great experience .   Something else deeper inside is calling me , though. Alberta has been my home since I was born, with a few brief stops along the way, which is beginning to wear down my ability to function relatively journalistically.   Don't get me wrong . I could sit and write stories of retirement and the wonderful art of being a senior, from bowling to lawn darts, for years to come and probably be very successful in doing so. The problem is that is not how my brain is programmed .   Having experienced year...
