For those living in S.Ont (I can’t speak for elsewhere), January means pig slaughter. Whole legs and shoulders are showing up fresh for $0.99/lb Cdn, as cheap as I can recall in recent years. A little pickling salt, some Prague powder, a few spices, brown sugar/honey and water, and you have your brine to cure your hams. And the weather at 0C is perfect, the brine won’t freeze until well below -8C depending on the salt content. Or bake them whole. A 20lb leg of pork for $20 is a steal.

Any contributions to the Party also gladly accepted.

The article says payouts of $9M/yr which is nothing. Several folks are poorly informed that “when they travel they are covered by OHIP”. Hence, they don’t need medical insurance. But OHIP covers very little. In 2015 one of my sons went to San Fran and while there broke his leg, not a simple break. The medical costs were US$9,600 and OHIP covered $500. From then my opinion became OHIP should drop all out-of-country coverage, because they cover so little as to make it negligible. and not give people the false impression “they are covered”.

There is a small group of Black Bajans who deliberately and systematically go from Page to Page fomenting racist division, picking fights and hating on everything “white” Bajan. They are currently to be found on Barbados Wall of Shame, names like Leslie Christopher Roberts (a failed lawyer), Tonia Alexander (a mini mind constantly trying to add to her 5 minutes of social media fame) and other familiar names. The Admin here are spineless and allow them free hand to spew their vile hatred unchecked until it’s gone too far. Then they Block those other members who defend the Page and themselves against this racist hatred and largely leave the perpetrators alone. Funny thing is, the only place these men and women will be so ugly is on their keyboard. NOT ONE of them have the guts to set up personal discussion groups.

According to news reports the subject of this article is a “native” of Barbados who has lived in the US since the age of 2. He is slated for deportation having been convicted of accepting a bribe which cost him his $600,000.00 p.a. job as an assistant basketball coach at Oklahoma State.
Setting aside his obvious greed, I can’t for the life of me understand why his parents/guardians didn’t ensure that he obtain US citizenship as a minor, and failing that, then it was up to him as an adult to jump through the necessary hoops to become a US citizen.
