I certainly cannot disagree. Especially with Harper’s minions trying their damnedest to perpetuate that myth.

I’m really enjoying the “imagery” your comment is stirring in me right now.

I confess, I (too) have found it in my heart to wonder how the “true patriot love” zealots over at The Webel have been faring this week. I suspect Ezra Levant may well be wearing a spittle-flecked body-bib and a soiled adult diaper by now. The “clean-up” is surely ongoing.

Alas, I strongly suspect the hair is flame-retardant, so I guess we’ll have to settle for having heaved Steve last October 19th.

I’d known she was on the guest list for the State Dinner but the recognition was still a lovely surprise to read about.

Huh? What exactly are you implying?

Michelle Obama always looks strikingly good but there was something about her hair last night that made her look exceptionally stunning. Seeing Malia and Sasha Obama there, both looking so lovely, was a real treat and, for what it’s worth, I loved Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau’s gown: she’s got a pretty unique style and is…

Yeah, I’m a Quebecer and that’s the way it’s viewed among my older family members, both Anglophone and Francophone. I’m sure they all seriously questioned the invocation of the War Measures Act but it really was a desperate-times-call-for-desperate-measures scenario.

Your take on the FLQ Crisis is somewhat off in the sense that the whole thing got dumped in Trudeau’s (federal) lap by a (Liberal) provincial government headed by Robert Bourassa that was paralyzed by fear and inadequacy, response-wise.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen this photo, if only because..... Conservatives are still frothing at the mouth over it, nearly 6 months after the election.

Carrying Justin like a warm baguette but somehow I’ve never minded. ;=)

It’s been happening over on the Gawker article, too — people taking swipes at the set of Chrétien’s face — so it’s a fair assumption that some Canadians aren’t aware of the reason behind it. Yeah, I find it seriously hard to fathom but I guess that’s the way it is.

I assure you I’m not judging — especially because a lot of Canadians don’t seem to be aware of this — but Jean Chrétien had Bell’s Palsy as a child, which explains a lot regarding the set of his face.

There was just no dealing with me, sentimentality-wise, the day Justin Trudeau revealed that baby-balancing is a “party trick” he learned from dear old dad.

Well, yeah, I know that. Perhaps some people didn’t know who she was — despite the fact that the list of her previous nominations and awards for film and theatrical costume design is quite staggering — and/or were not familiar with her ultra-casual personal style but she’d just gotten the nod for an Academy Award.…

You’re very good at conjuring visual images that can’t easily be erased. Damn you. :=)

I was pretty sure I recognized him but was still quite surprised when it was confirmed. I’ll certainly give him another shot, too, and it won’t stop me from being happy for him and the big wins — plural — he had last night.

Of course, she was asked about her choice of outfit backstage as well as the Stephen Fry-controversy after the Bafta Awards a few weeks ago. I really liked her reply and, well, I think I really like her:

Marks & Spencer underwear, most probably. ;=)

Yeah, it kinda leaves one speechless, doesn’t it? Personally, I think the worst body language was coming from Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu — director of the The Revenant — the guy giving the stink-eye with arms folded across his chest.
