July 1st, 2020

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

I was going to post this in the non-skating part of the board but didn't want anyone to miss it.

In creating a special O Canada video, The Tenors asked friends across the country what Canada means to them. Some of you will spot a few familiar faces outside their "natural habitat"!

As both a very proud Canadian and a figure skating fan, this is required viewing today.

I am not really celebrating the day. Idle No More. a First Nations group, called for a "Cancel Canada Day" this year on behalf of victims of racial violence by the police forces. It includes Black Lives Matter, MMIWG, (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls), and a few others.
I'll be house cleaning, as I am able.
