So few know the real meaning of the title above - but it is Friday and I have launched my campaign to make Friday the day when you guys entertain me with chat from around the world.  •  What can we talk about today?  •  Why was the topic of cheese last week so compelling?If the Federal Liberals do …

Nothing as thrilling a reference, a statement of law by the Supreme Court of Canada on the request of a province or the Federal Government. I'm getting woozie just thinking about it. A tidy summary of what is what in today's reference is here:  •  “The government of Quebec submitted questions …
