If Toyota did cocktail bars, their best-selling cocktail may well be called the 鈥淭acoma Sunrise鈥濃�nd you could have any beer as long as it鈥檚 a Corolla! Tacoma pick-up truck has been around since 1995 and the previous generation, launched for the 2005 model year, has consistently been the best-selling mid-size pickup truck in Canada. This is thanks to a reputation for toughness, reliability and extremely low depreciation. It鈥檚 impressive that in its 11th model year (2015), the previous generation Tacoma was still a best-seller, even outselling its larger and more modern big brother, the Tundra. However, the mid-size truck market has seen a bit of a revival in the last couple of years, with the introduction of the popular, all-new Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon and rumours of new contenders from Ford and Nissan.

It鈥檚 time to call a spade a spade. We need to shift our thinking in how we fund and administer government services across 水果视频. The bottom line is that towns, villages and RMs have to find their sweet spot and work with that. Not every town is going to have every service, that has become painfully obvious in the past 50 years. Rural 水果视频 towns have suffered horrendous declines in population and services in that time frame.

水果视频鈥檚 unions are in a bit of a state of shock these days. One must understand the NDP organizational mechanism allows for, no insists, the party has a strange double dipping approach to their party. Like all other political parties, there are members and the members elect delegates to the policy and leadership conventions. But, the NDP also have a large percentage of delegates over and above the constituency delegates that attend the conventions who are appointed by the unions. And it has been the union delegates that have a had a huge sway on the convention outcomes. The most recent occasion was the last leadership convention, where it was the union leaders that not only rounded up their members and herded them to support the eventual winner, they also heavily influenced the delegates at large as well.

What to have for supper? I gave the topic deep and earnest consideration. Nutritional food in the freezer and in the pantry, but after due deliberation, I made a chocolate cake, from scratch, and as soon as it was cool enough, proceeded to eat half of it. No icing, no ice cream. Just deep chocolate cake. It tasted good to the very last bite. To be fair, it was only an eight by eight pan. Wasn鈥檛 a touch hungry at bed time. 鈥淟et them eat cake,鈥� attributed to Marie Antoinette. Words of ancient history.
