I just learned that our prime minister's constituency officehas just opened. It's in the same spot that I created for my fictitious PM in my novel.
Granted, it's where our old MP's office was but I didn't know Carney was going to take it. I thought he was going to set up elsewhere.

For those of you in the Ottawa area looking for family doctors, I just noticed that the sign on Superstore on Richmond Road over their main entrance says that their second floor walk-in clinic is now accepting new patients.

I received a Hep-A vaccination shot this morning, and I'm now feeling unwell and tired.
I'm just going to lie down for a bit.

“Nearly all of our modern gun control legislation came about as a consequence of the tragedy and subsequent lobbying by the gun control advocates born at Polytechnique that night.
