Happy Colonel By Day! Hum that sounds odd! Well nevertheless, we in Ottawa appreciate Colonel By’s supervision of the construction of the Rideau Canal, a National Historic Site of Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as playground for all seasons.

Happy Canada Day

Between the pandemic and the finding of the mass graves, this is not our most brilliant Canada day. Here’s hoping we can together find a way to reconcile ourselves with the past, and devise a plan for the future.

Happy Father’s Day

June 20, 2021 by Claude Jobin

What great fun it is to be a father!

My life has taken oh so many twists and turns, over 3 continents.

But one thing has not changed for a long time and this is being called Papa. Lovely gift that!

Happy Father’s day!

Happy Victoria Day!

May 24, 2021 by Claude Jobin

We here in Ottawa have much to be thankfull to Queen Victoria. in 1857 she chose Ottawa to be the capital of Canada. She chose Ottawa because is was in between Montreal and Toronto and on the border of Ontario and Quebec. And because of this decision we are the city we are. So thank you Queen Victoria and happy birthday!

Funeral Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

April 17, 2021 by Claude Jobin

Working while watching the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh I was looking for something to post when I realized there really is, in my mind, only one appropriate post today. My sympathies to the Queen, she has lost her liegeman. A man not used to being in second place who nevertheless acquiesced, and embraced his supporting role. I really feel for her!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
