Not just another day, but D-Day on Juno Beach. 70 years ago today Canadian regiments of mostly 18-20 year old boys ran up a rainy, stone strewn beach that had been carefully calibrated for the highly efficient German machine guns over the previous 4 years. With no cover the boys of The Queens Own Rifles of Canada and several other regiments staggered out of the water that wretched morning towards the train station, their objective 200 yards ahead, as the waiting guns raked across them.

We moved to a condo a few years ago here in Victoria, thinking that the convenience of owning downtown would make the change worthwhile. We finally would be able to walk to our favourite restaurants without the drudgery of the “Designated Driver” routine.
It was announced today that the Tug Boat union is about to go on strike. Now obviously the islands surrounding us will be terribly affected and not in a good way. Sigh. Not unlike the current Teachers strike, I ask the question again: What is an essential service?
Went past a high school today and it looked like it was “Brothel Day”. Many girls were dressed in tiny shorts that left very little to the imagination with the boys losing their jeans. What sort of school is it?
