If there's even a chance that he'll leave...... LL Canada's Justin Trudeau says he thinks daily about leaving 'crazy job' 16 hours ago By Jessica Murphy,BBC News Share Reuters Canada's prime minister says he frequently thinks about leaving his "crazy job" but plans to stay on through another election. Justin Trudeau has faced growing questions about his political future, with polls suggesting he is increasingly unpopular among Canadians. In an interview with broadcaster Radio-Canada, Mr Trudeau also spoke about personal sacrifices of his job. Canada's next general election must be held by October 2025. Opinion polling in recent months indicates that Canadians are feeling a growing dissatisfaction with his government, spurred by frustration with issues like housing affordability and the cost of living. The governing Liberals have been trailing behind the Conservatives, the main opposition, often by double digits. Concerns that the "Trudeau brand" might be a drag on the Liberal party's fortunes has led to speculation in political circles that Mr Trudeau may be eyeing the exit, and even some allies have suggested it's time for him to leave. But in a 24-minute interview released on Friday with the French-language broadcaster, Mr Trudeau said: "I could not be the man I am and abandon the fight at this point." "I think about quitting every day. It's a crazy job I'm doing, making the personal sacrifices," said the leader, who has been in office since 2015. "Of course, it's super tough. It's super boring at times." Last year, he and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, announced they were separating. They have three children together. Mr Trudeau came to power with an impressive majority election victory that ended nearly a decade of Conservative party rule in Canada. But support for the Liberals has eroded over two subsequent elections. His minority government is currently in a so-called "supply and confidence" agreement with the New Democrats, where the left-leaning party supports the Liberals in key votes in parliament. Mr Trudeau, 52, said on Friday that he entered politics "not to be popular, not for personal reasons - because I want to serve and I know I have something to offer". "The choice that Canadians will make, in a year in the elections, will be so fundamental." In one high-stakes fight, some provincial premiers and the federal Conservatives are pushing to cancel a planned increase to the federal carbon tax - one of his government's key climate initiatives - that is coming into force next month. Mr Trudeau told Radio-Canada that he planned to stay the course, arguing that increases are offset for most Canadians through a rebate. "It is very easy in politics these days to attack a tax, to attack concrete measures," he said.

Pat: You are too patient and polite. I've been getting cell calls for over a year that are obviously wrong numbers. Political fund raising requests, realtors, property flippers, car dealers - mostly out of Texas. At first, I politely informed the callers of their error; never once did the caller apologize; most of the time, they simply hung up without comment. After I noticed the Texas pattern, I decided that I would ty to determine if my number was improperly listed in a phone directory or on a web site. No one would tell me where they got my number; most became hostile or profane. So now I simply report them as junk and delete. Not worth the nonsense. LL -

From Wiki: Estrada became a reserve police officer for the Muncie (Indiana) Police Department. From there, Estrada moved to Virginia, where he was an I.C.A.C. (Internet Crimes Against Children) investigator for eight years in Bedford County, Virginia.[14][15] As of July 1, 2016, he was a reserve police officer in St. Anthony, Idaho. In the course of his duties, Estrada has been filmed patrolling on a police motorcycle.[16] LL

You have too much faith in "plain language". I'm certain that some politician, progressive or gun hater could find an issue with the definition of "arms", or with what constitutes an 'infringement". I'm a big fan of Mr. Justice Jackson, quoted above. LL -
S&W Lever rifle?

I'll sit back and watch for a bit...but I'm not laughing. S&W has too much solid history and capability to dismiss them as late to the game...and I'm sure someone said something similar about Tyler Henry and Oliver Winchester. LL -

"Victrola"? RCA Victor's tradename for a phonograph, which became so commonly used that it became "generic"? The curse of a successful product, whose name becomes an equivalent in the market for the product, regardless of who made it. LL

Looks like I'm about to join the club. I'm in the hospital now. I've had years of low back pain, with progressive levels of pain and loss of function. I've now lost most of the strength and function in both legs; can't stand long enough to shower; can't walk more than a few steps with a cane Laying on the metal beds of the MRI and CAT scanners was sheer torture. Meeting with a neurosurgeon tomorrow. I dread this. LL

Question for ambulance crews

Just finishing an addition to our house, including master suite. Most interior doorways are double pocket doors; exterior doorways are French patio doors or double width sliders. Like 40 Rod, I've had too many dimensional challenges trying to get to the ambulance. LL -
