Ramadan mubarak

Ramadan Kareem calligraphy in the shape of a dove by Khaleelullah Chemnad. Used with permission. Click here to visit official site.On this first day of Ramadan, my thoughts go out to my friends observing this time of reflection, patience and spirituality.

Let’s all take this time also to honour and respect Islam as one of the great religions of the world, well represented in this community.

Please wish your Muslim friends a blessed Ramadan.

Happy birthday, Canada — 2009

I just spent Canada Day at Harbourfront and didn’t canvass at all today.  My son buried his dad in the beach sand at HTO Park along with a few little friends who had to join in the fun.  We got some yummy fruits and Tibetan and Indian food, and listened to music on the freshly laid astroturf at Harbourfront Centre.  What a great day.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

And please consider voting Green if you live in any of the ridings that’s having a by-election.
