Today is Canada Day, a celebration of a strong and free, and sovereign nation that has made the world better in so many ways. This American celebrates this national day with you. May you always shine the light from coast to coast to coast. Enjoy the day and, as always, ELBOWS UP!
This evening, two Americans who love Canada checked out some new-to-us Canadian TV shows. We love the talented actors who tell great stories set in a country we love very much.
Our first program was Kim’s Convenience, which is about the lives of a Korean Canadian family that owns a convenience store in a Toronto neighborhood. The show features Paul Sun-Hyung Lee from The Mandalorian and lately in Murdoch Mysteries and Simu Liu, who you have seen in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Then we checked out Hudson & Rex, a show about a detective who teams up with his very good boy and very trained German Shepherd Dog. John Reardon, who you might have seen in Arctic Air and Hallmark Movies, stars with his K9 companion the late Diesel vom Burgimwald. They work to solve cases and bring people to justice.
Part of my motivation was in honor of King Charles’ throne speech to Canada that happened on May 27th. Nonetheless, we look forward to seeing more of these programs and checking out others from North of The Border.
As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale, Carney said. Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of campaign…it’s not for sale. It won’t be for sale ever.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney
Leadership is the acceptance of responsibility rather than the assumption of power.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney
Congratulations to Canada’s Mark Carney, who was elected Prime Minister on Monday, April 28, 2025. His Liberal Party won 169 seats in Canada’s Parliament and will form a new minority government. His experience as an economist and banker will serve Canada well. I think he will do good things for Canada and the world.
He will have a lot of work to do to make his country a better place and to respond to economic and sovereignty threats from the United States. As an American, I support him fully.
