All Things Being Equal . . . They’re Not

​One might have guessed that the latest Trudeau/Morneau “budget” would have had another object besides trying to rein in spending or increasing real economic growth. Sure enough, solving the inequities of the workplace is the stated goal, with “gender” being mentioned 358 times in the budget document.

If Trudeau Went to ___ What Would He Wear?

A One Man Band

Have you ever seen a “One Man Band”. I remember in the movie Mary Poppins, “Bert” (Dick Van Dyke) at the beginning playing his trumpet, french horn, drums, cymbals etc. while making up ditties to amuse the spectators. Fundraising, we may call it.
