It’s a sad state for golf fans being denied the best players on a weekly basis or— even more disappointing— at the majors.

With polls that even Biden would faint over, Justin Trudeau is ramping up the disinformation dodge with the same fervour as the MSNBC fainting goats. Skippy has added a little Russian sauce to his equation, claiming that Putin has Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in his control, manipulating the public to abandon Ukraine.
Isolation is their nightmare. While they recognize that Justin can’t dance and Melanie don’t rock ’n roll, there’s safety in staying under their skirts. They won’t have to turn on CBC or CTV and confront rubes in Charlottetown who’ve noticed that Team Trudeau is selling PEI off by the pound to the CPP. They’ll be able to trade Saturday Night Lies skits with fellow travellers. And that’s not such a bad life, is it? Especially when someone else is paying.

Green’s complex, colloquial whimsy is grounded in a strong academic backbone and a broad knowledge base that references Wordsworth, Shakespeare and Sylvia Plath. And how she loves wordplay and puns,
Winning a literary award hikes a book’s profile, as the books are put on course curriculums, book club reading lists, and are listed as library best staff picks. This creates more profits for publishers, which is a boon for authors because it increases a book’s promotions budget.
I think books in this genre require a bright label along the spine: Beware. A second reading may be required to fully comprehend this book.
The collection’s title Titch – which means a small somebody – is a clever take on the moniker for Little Tich, a famous music hall performer from the turn of the twentieth Century, and a word derived from Australian and British slang. Flaherty’s poems inspire and entertain, however down-to-earth the poet’s subject matter.
The result is a gripping fictoire – heart-wrenching poems about the imagined life of a forgotten woman. Langevin syntax is direct and personal, reflecting a simple woman’s voice, but a voice of bewilderment and pain.
In her Oscar-winning film adaption of Women Talking, director and writer Sarah Polley stayed true most of the book’s plot, themes and characters.

It's all fair game for another series of tremendous tunes you'll hopefully enjoy.
We are in a holding pattern as the media demand answers. Such as, will the biggest signing in the sport’s history now face federal charges that prohibit wiring money to an unlicensed sports gambling operation?
