Listening this past week to various national news correspondents in Ottawa, I wondered if the politicians really liked to be known as “Battlers” and “Bruisers”. It almost sounded as if when parliament was reconvening we were being prepped for round two of the “Battle of the Gladiators”. It is a good thing that a boxing ring has four corners because the leaders are going to use all of them.

If you are a fanatical planner like me, it is very frustrating when life throws you a curve ball you can not control.

On Monday January 12, 2009 at the La Verendrye Hospital in Fort Frances, Ont, Margaret Govier passed away at the age of 83 years.
