Oh Canada, happy Thanksgiving

[Contratrombone64]

Hey to my Candian friends, happy Thanksgiving ... so that's Rojo and Greatcyber!!

[Albert]

Thanks from the Canadian Rocky Mountains! Another Canuck - and I consider you a friend because I have read so many of your posts.

[Contratrombone64]

Hey Albert - wow, you're in my favourite part of Canada. I have fond memories of the wonderful and terrifyingly beautiful Rockies ... stunning place, so amazing.

[Albert]

Well, next time you come by, drop in for a visit. You can even try out my digi magic! (baby Johannus)

[Contratrombone64]

Indeed! It's a wonderful looking instrument. I sadly have to put up with a MIDI keyboard, though I am to inherit a two manual Makin organ eventual, goodness knows where I'll put it as I live in a flat ...

[Albert]

Makin are made by Johannus these days. I lived in a studio apartment in Chicago for the better part of four years, and the little Johannus was right there with me. Cosy is the polite word.

[Contratrombone64]

The Makin I'm inheriting isn't small, it's about 5'6 tall, 6' wide and weights a small draft horse.

A happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends.

Here is the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould with the Toronto Symphany Orchestra playing Bach.

Hey, thanks CT64!

Was nice to have Monday off from work.

*sigh* Ah, Glenn... thanks Margaret.

Today is voting day in Canada. I'm keeping an eye on results just coming in...

[Contratrombone64]

With a bit of luck that horrid Stephen Harper can be stopped? It seems to me as if the voice of the young isn't really heard because they're ignorant or, worse, apathetic. In Australia, we have compulsory voting, and I'm used to it.

[rojo]

Same old same old; Harper wins, but with a minority gov't. Very few surprises this time around.

Dunno; all the young folk of voting age that I know said they were going to vote, and actually researched the candidates' platforms etc.. Nice to see, I must say.

Besides, who would need to hear the voice of peeps who are ignorant and apathetic anyway? Just kidding.

Do you agree with mandatory voting? I mean, besides being used to it? How long has that been in effect?

[Contratrombone64]

Mandatory voting? In Australia ages and ages and certainly since I've been voting 25 odd years.
