“Newspapers
should have
no friends”

Porte Ponderings:

Facebook should pay the tax in Canada so we can share News again on Facebook. Google paid. Why can’t Facebook pay for content to help keep the content honest? By not having “real news” shared on Facebook. All Facebook is now “fake news”, “fraudsters” and “scammers”.

Porte Ponderings:

Carrots.
Bugs Bunny’s
favorite snack.
The almost
perfect vegetable.
Raw, in a salad,
cooked or
in a stew.
That great
orange vegetable
goes with
everything.
It stores so well and
is available fresh
year round.
Or frozen
or canned….

“A photographer’s
main instrument
is his eyes”

Porte Ponderings:

A few phone calls between leaders and the threatened tariff war has been delayed for 30 days.

Many Canadians will continue to buy Canadian goods and reduce the reliance on USA imports. 30 days gives us time to prepare even better for the next threat by the Bully. How far will be have to go to appease unfounded whims next month?

In the meantime promises have been broken while treaties were tossed aside and relationships have been damaged. The stock market dropped and someone is profiting from buying low while someone else has lost their life savings. Who profited?

Still “illegal” immigrants are being rounded up and shipped out. Some to Guantánamo Bay, the new US concentration camps in Cuba.
