Oxford at Richmond

It's not hard to see who has the biggest campaign budget ...

Your point of view is just great!!

Thanks, Leon. The Greens spent most of their campaign budget attempting a failed leadership coup. So tiny signs, and a national leader who hasn't campaigned outside Toronto, where she lives.

Like the image -- like Red, Orange & Green....!

They certainly brighten up the typical bland Canadian cities, Dinesh.

Superb shot! Stay well!

Thanks, William. You, too.

I hadn't realised you have a coming election there. I winder if (going by the colour) the young lady has New Democrat bags! :-)

I can assuage your curiosity, George. She's carrying Madjack bags. Madjack is a flavoured lager (I haven't had a drink in over 40 years but the idea alone still makes me recoil in disgust). She may have something else in the bags, I suppose. The New Democrats are the beer-drinking party (Liberals = white wine, Conservatives = Crown Royal, Bloc Québécois = caribou [red wine, spirits, maple syrup]., Greens = cider, People's Party of Canada = Five Star rye), but I don't know that NDP members would accept Madjack as beer.

I'm with you re the flavoured lager, John, that's in the same territory as flavoured coffee. FWIW we also have elections coming at some time soon. Essentially a two horse race, Labor (US spelling) = beer/red wine, Liberals = conservatives = champagne.

I'd never noticed the ALP used the American spelling, George. Maybe I just assumed any news I read about it was written by Americans. I think there's a lot to say in favour of the -or ending, but having been writing -our for close to 70 years it's become automatic.

It's interesting your Liberals are conservatives. According to Bloomberg News, Canadian Liberals are "hardheaded socialists" ("hardheaded" being a compliment).

And I agree with you about flavoured coffee.

I can't find a clear reason "why", though there is a suggestion is was the influence of the American Labor movement, but it seems the spelling was "our" in 1908, but changed to "or" in 1912.

Will Trudeau win? Are Liberals really Conservatives? If so, isn't that kind of Crazyville?

I, too, am a member of the NON-flavored coffee club. I don't drink beer anymore, but I would be equally opposed to flavored beer. Oooh, I can't even think about it...
