Questions for the Canadians here.

Is it true that Winnipeg was originally 'Winapig' because a pig was a prize for the winner of the naming contest?

Is true that Manitoba is changing its name to Womanitoba?

Is it true doctors have found a cure for Winnipegosis?

Remember

Power ultimately flows from the barrel of a gun. In a republic, elections decide who controls the gun. Do we want Donald tRump continuing to control the gun?

Today is Pie with a Y Day

Today when referring to any sort of dish with a crust and contents that is baked, cheese, chicken, beef, veggies, shepherd's, shepherdess's, apple, cherry, berry, fish and finger, or anything else, you must spell Py, Py.

This is to honor George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham's immortal criticism of The Conquest of Granada by John Dryden

"A Py a Pudding, a Pudding a Py,
A Py for me and a Pudding for thee,
A Pudding for me and a Py for thee,
And a Pudding-Py for me and thee."

A friend tells this story about a Kipling incident in school.

He is Afrikaner and went to a school where both English and Afrikaner kids went. One day the teacher assigned some Kipling poems that included 'Bobs' his praise of Lord Roberts and 'Kitchener's School' his praise of Kitchener, who put the Afrikaner women and children in concentration camps. An Afrikaner girl rose and declared "Kipling is 'n vyand van die Afrikaner volk." meaning Kipling is an enemy of the Afrikaner people. All the Afrikaner kids rose (including my friend) and walked out.

There were no more Kipling poems assigned.

What ever happened to this movie?

It was called "We Never Promised You A Rose Garden". It was being made in the 1980's and starred actor Ronald Reagan as a president of the US. It took 8 years to make. There was a scandal in 1986 with a cast member being arrested. I remember Reagan on a news show saying, "We're not going to give up. We're going to go on and finish making this movie." What ever happened to it?
