Nancy to the rescue!
Quick fact context. Norway, a country of 5.6 million people, won 41 Olympic medals at the Milano Cortina games, 18 of them gold. The United States, a country of 350 million people, won 33 medals, 12 of them gold.
The last of the great legendary drummers. RIP.
Exactly. In Canada we think of Mamdani as a normal slightly left-of-centre guy who could easily lead two of our mainstream federal parties.
This is excellent work, something to be proud of.
The Mark Langston era in Montreal.
His book, Jazz and its Discontents, has been a music bible for me for decades. A huge loss. RIP
Desert island disc.
Pick 'em:
Lee Morgan, Live at the Lighthouse
Miles Davis Quintet, Live at the Plugged Nickel
That explains it. Thanks.
Mingus Ah Um
Coltrane, A Love Supreme
Lee Morgan, Live at the Lighthouse
Impossible question, really, but I'll play along: Fables of Faubus from Mingus Ah Um
Nancy to the rescue!
... and Bobby Orr
The Dolphy, but it's close. That Clifford-Roach album is a classic.
Ouagoudougou, Clifford Jordan; The Sixth Sense, Lee Morgan; Helen Butte/Mr. FreedomX, Miles Davis; Just One of Those Things, Freddie Hubbard; Boston Bernie, Dexter Gordon
Just for fun I made a playlist of the five representative pieces you list in TT 478 and played them while I exercised. Later I noticed the Amazon Music algorithm had come up with five suggestions based on your list. Not sure how these algorithms work but here they are:
Screenshot of a portion of the article linked, which reads, “Over the last decade, I’ve watched this neighbourhood slowly dim. The streets have become less comfortable to walk alone with the increase in opioid use, homelessness and high-profile violence. The buzz has been dampened by the COVID-19 pandemic, a slow exodus of public servants and the closures of longstanding businesses.”
I’m begging the #Ottawa pundit class to please just once care more about people in a tough spot than other people who feel uncomfortable about them.

If you wonder why Trump thinks what he thinks about Canada, check out the Canadians he hangs out with at Mar-a-Lago. 🇨🇦
We are also in a political/media environment in which the legacy media titles like the Globe and Mail still carry heft, but they are not where people in their 20s or even 30s turn to be politically informed. The people who run campaigns pay attention to the Globe and Mail. The people who vote don’t.
We are disappointed to learn of a report suggesting a one year delay in the introduction of a renoviction bylaw for Ottawa.
We have clients whom we have housed, only to return to our shelter due to renovictions and bad-faith evictions. Vulnerable people cannot afford another year of delays. 🕒❌
It is shocking that politicians complained about this important work out of utter ignorance.
More shocking that the film's TV premiere was cancelled.
Shame on TVO, shame on Minister Freeland.
Watch the damn film and let's discuss it - that's how democracy and free speech work.
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY
Last year, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published an article on a scurvy case in Toronto.
Scurvy is almost never in advanced countries like Canada.
This year we learned of 27 more cases in the Lac La Ronge Indian Band in Saskatchewan.
As foreign reporting shrinks in Canada, the Travers Fellowship is one light keeping it alive
Happy Birthday to anyone born on this day
Except Rick Monday. Also Jeffery Loria & David Samson just in case it is their birthdays as well.
It will be interesting how the right wing types fill hours of live TV with no one to blame…..but…themselves. Projection is next to impossible when you have full control.
