In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Remembrance Sunday is a day “to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts”.
As a supporter of our British and Commonwealth friends I thank them for their support over the years and the sacrifice their sons and daughters have made to defend their countries and to fight for the cause of freedom and peace.

To all those in Canada I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. God bless your great nation.
The one thing about having a global blogging platform such as Tumblr is that there are people in other parts of the world where its now the next day. For example in Australia its now Monday morning. It should inform you that people come from other places so the way they live their lives and the way they think are different than yours…but there are similarities too. I am glad to have met people through blogging from all around the world. Their friendship and perspective have helped me open my mind a little more.

Canada beats the USA in Olympic Hockey 1 to 0. That means we get to “keep Justin Bieber”. There is much sadness in the land. This is not a proud moment in our sports history. Can’t we renegotiate that deal?
The Biebs is back in Canada for some legal matters. I love our neighbors to the north for making this happen. They are taking care of their own.
