My back hurts,
…but Carmen’s got a home. And so does Pedro. It’s lovely and we’re so happy for her…
So true…

Oh Canada… sigh.
Canada did not win a seat on the UN’s Security Council because a leader of the opposition was sceptical about it. It had nothing to do with our lackluster foreign policy…
Some observers believe the Harper government’s foreign policy is largely responsible for the outcome, including its pro-Israel stance on the Middle East, cutting foreign aid to Africa, and also the move away from UN peacekeeping and toward the Afghan mission.
However, [Foreign Minister Lawrence] Cannon dismissed the idea.
“I do not in any way see this as a repudiation of Canada’s foreign policy,” he said.

Brian goes to Montreal
So the culture season begins again. First Billy Bishop at the Citadel and now the start of Brian Webb’s dance season.
His first show is the Ballet Jazz de Montreal (now know as BJM Danse); a company Leslie and I have seen many times since our university days.
20 years ago I had my first taste of contemporary dance pulling curtain at the Haar while I was going to Theatre Production at MacEwan. Brian Webb and one of his female dancers came up to me to ask the time and they were what I considered at the time, completely naked. Tonight’s show open with a gorgeous pas de deux where both dancers were bare from the waist up and it brought my whole dance universe full circle. Only now it’s just beauty for effect, not simply nakedness… mostly… I guess.
The grass is to greener…

I wonder what she meant by that?
Billy Bishop is my war…
Billy Bishop Goes to War is playing at the Citadel. I’m hoping the fact that it’s not Eric Peterson and that it is the Citadel won’t sour it for me, but we’ll see.
Right off the bat they’ve opted for a set design. Not quite true to the spirit of the original, but I guess the season’s ticket holders news something for their big bucks…
Well, all in all, the best show I’ve seem at the Citadel in a long while. But, as Leslie says, it’s a very good script
