Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Commonwealth. Canadian whiskey, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Friday evening.

I love you all…

First, Canada has a strong motive for maintaining good relations with both the United States and Russia.

Two: there are few enough world leaders anymore who are even center-left, let alone progressive, and focus on environmental and social justice issues.

There are more reasons for Carney. But that’s a good place to start.
