It was April Fools’ Week in Ottawa as Members of Parliament began debate on the Conservative government’s latest omnibus budget bill and the price of postage increased by 37% for most individuals

It is the first flower of spring. It is Mother Nature’s symbol of hope. The daffodil with its brilliant yellow flower has been sold every year in Fort Frances by the sororities as their way of supporting the Canadian Cancer Society.
In my household, I have been bringing those fresh daffodils home for over 35 years. The local sorority would have a sign up sheet for daffodils at the newspaper, and my sister would go around encouraging everyone on staff to buy at least one bunch. Most at the newspaper bought more than the single bunch in support of the daffodil drive.

Thursday I saw a sure sign of Spring when I made deliveries in Emo. The Rainy River was wide open as far as the eye could see in either direction!
