And Finally
While I know it isn’t Indie you can’t get much more Canadian than the TSO performing O’Canada in a dozen of the most commonly spoken languages nationwide (according to Stats Canada). To see any of the twelve in full simply go to canadamosaic.tso.ca/anthem/
What language would you like to hear/see O’Canada performed in?
What other stories should I have included?
Should we keep this as a weekly feature?
Am I asking too many questions?
Good morning!
Hello
Good morning! I like the news post, seems like something different. I don’t what language I would like to hear O Canada in, but that’s because I haven’t listened to the one posted yet. 🙂

Hi. Looks like I missed a good discussion yesterday.
I was away having a new hot water heater installed at my house.
You party animal, you.
Yeah, Russ, started global warming too.
I thought global warming was a Chinese conspiracy
No, Gary. Russ said it was because I stopped going to Sunday School.
You went to a Chinese Sunday School!? 🙂
No. Episcopal Church. I suspect that someone had somehow insulted the south or Southern Baptists – my mother was from Alabama, and just like that, we stopped going to church. About 1957. Russ claimed that this event started global warming. Chinese had nothing to do with it. At least in my case.
I only went to Sunday School a few times but never in the town that I lived
Garry, it’s a thread on Facebook yesterday started by Pat about the snow in Winnipeg. Ended with Russ blaming me for global warming. You know how it is.
Ah, I see. I don’t spend a lot of time on facebook at the moment

Justin, how could you go off and leave Duke to go Arizona? Recovering from his attack and you just go and leave him behind. Shame. I could hear him howling of loneliness all the down here in California.
@mcfflyer…. haha… he was pretty much healed up when I left. I left him with my buddy’s family. He slept on their daughter’s bed every night and they played with him all day. And a guinea pig to obsess about (and not eat).
Hot Panda are changing their name
RE Hot Panda….wwwhhhyyyy?! Think of the children! ………….. (they’ll be fine).
Curious to know their new name.
Hot Panda changing their name? Personnel changes? One of the rare Canadian bands to play here in Sacramento.
Lukewarm Panda? Pickled Panda-in-a-Bottle?
Ambivalent Panda….
SHIT!
Now we’ll have to rename one of the new budgies?
Panda Monium

Yes, they perform both types of music country and western
hey kids, its Padarific to see so many peeps here today.
Hi Morgana
What’s up @Morgana?!
@Justin, There is a new version of wordpress, should I go ahead and update in the morning or would you rather try it on the dev site first?
@justin @garfielduk as with most folks this is a very busy time of the year for me but what is up is the Christmas tree so that is exciting. It is freaking huge but gorgeous and smells lovely.
@justin
oh, and this is for you to bookmark on your computer so you can proceed with planning your trip …

Don’t let him forget the gin
@garfielduk absolutely not! i brought home a bottle of gin from Hawaii to do a taste comparison with too. Organic and made on Maui.
You should take a photo of the bottle near the Nelson road sign and send it to Durham Gin
Wait, you went to Hawaii and you didn’t take me!?
@garfeilduk I like that idea of taking photo of the the bottle at the “welcome to” sign, maybe for both of the bottles.
Yes, I went to Molokai and Lanai’i with my Mom and the teenager. Experiences for Christmas rather than stuff!
So you left the small hairy child and taller, less hairy, child at home?
I didn’t go on many holidays as a child but I do believe the ones I went on to Denmark and Belgium set me up to be comfortable travelling to another country on my own.
My Mother never left Europe and her Mother never left the UK (I think she might have gone to Scotland once)
This Christmas Ad from Poland is going viral and with good reason, it is funny, heart warming and has a compelling story…

yup, left those two to fend for themselves while I juggled the Gramma and the teen for 10 days.
Our family has always travelled; just my Mom and I in what ever jalopy we had then my first international trip (I don’t count US as international travel BTW) on my own … to The UK and Europe!
On this last trip I had the teen navigate as much of the airport stuff as I could so she has some practice.
I was 40 the first time I flew anywhere, before then I had always gone by ferry. I’m still working on finding a ferry from Liverpool to Halifax, NS. I thought I had worked out a route a while ago my starting in the north of Scotland and island hopping until I found the ferry service between the Faeroe Islands and Iceland had ceased
🙁
If you will excuse me it is 11pm here so I will bid you all goodnight as I have yet to do tomorrows post (so I will have to get up early for that)
@garfielduk all of those ferries/boats/ships would be an interesting journey indeed!
Sleep well:)
