@ Sargeant,
I keep the sunroof closed because my bald head can’t tolerate too much sun. lol
@ pieceuhderockyeahright,
I hope you take your heart medications before you visit the Diaspora Corner. However this Arturo video
was meant to also provoke discussion. I believe Barbados has muscians with the potential to produce shows
in Barbados that would make RI RI want to participate.
The new ” minister of culture ” could consider assisting in the creation of a profitable music industry.
That is if the IMF and the austerity program allows.

Ontario voters go to the polls today.
Seemingly minimal difference in many stated positions. The electorate seem numb to financial issues others than what more they can get for free. It is the first election where there are more millennial voters registered than baby boomers. “IF” they vote in larger than expected numbers, Ontario could have an NDP government, the first in 25 years. [They are too young to remember the last one]. The incumbent Liberal majority seem destined to be hammered. It is the PC’s election to lose, and their in-fighting and leadership woes, may end up costing them.
The pollsters, who have been frequently wrong of late, predict a slim PC majority. My gut is leaning towards a minority government. We shall see in a few hours. -
Ontario voters went to the polls today and elected (Donald Trump) Doug Ford and the PC party.
The incumbent Liberal party got 7 seats.
Interesting times ahead for us Bajontarians.
