Personal notes, book notes


So as of this weekend one of our daughters has a new husband and we have a new son-in-law, and we had a very good time and experienced some fun Jewish wedding customs in the process too. So, blogging has been sparce.

Voted today, right after reading Timothy Garton Ash's opinion piece in the Guardian today, saluting Canada's front row place in the global resistance to autocracy and trumpish.

And I have been engrossed in both Mark Bourrie's Ripper and Greg Marchildon's Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada.  Good to see people are still writing good books, timely books, significant books in Canadian history and biography. Marchildon's took about 20 times longer to write than Bourrie's, but we are lucky to have them both.  More about them in time, I expect.
