Watch now | As the New Year draws near, Trish and her best friend, Jacquie, take stock of life in the new normal, surviving the horror that is Toronto, and share some stories of bravery from their true crime careers. Funny, thoughtful, and full of stories, these old friends offer a spicy diversion and uplift from the spiritual slog and torpor of our post COVID-19 world.
In a recent visit to the Hudson's Bay in Vancouver, only one of four elevators were operating. No escalators were working above the third floor. The Men's Department is on the 6th Floor. Staff on the floors were far and few between. I thought about this as I listened to parts of your conversation. At a recent visit to a Whole Foods store there is now a battery of self-check-outs. They now have 3 cashiers where there used to be about ten. So fewer jobs for the working class and less service. And at self check-out no one can pay with cash.
All this resonates with the implosion of service mentioned in your discussion: AWOL police service, AWOL City Hall etc. etc.
Time for everyone to see or read Russian novelist Nikolai Gogol's satirical play "The Government Inspector" from 1836. The depiction of human greed, stupidity, and the political corruption of 1830s Russia resembles the trajectory of 2020s Canada.
I‘ve thought of you and your Bestie so often the past days after listening to your chat. I hope you realize how lucky you both are to have each other!!
Next year, maybe you could put your pennies together and come to Austria. Today we walked around the very, very busy city of Vienna, full of people celebrating New Years but the street lights and decorations are still up from Christmas and they are really quite spectacular. We walked into a church which was just kicking out the tourists to have a New Year’s Eve Mass at 18:00 but we still managed to see their Crèche and soak in some of the Baroque beauty, the organist practicing the hymns, before rejoining the crowds outside. It‘s not so decorated in the country, but many villages have an Advent calendar thing they do with 24 houses decorating a window for each day of Advent which is very sweet. There are lots of Crèches and not too many Santas. It‘s like Canada was when we were kids with much more glitter.
Thank you so much for everything you do. Wishing you all the very, very best in the coming year, strength, continued courage, good health, a wee touch of good luck, in other words, all the very, very best for you and your family too.
When will you Canadians be voting for a normal human being to run your country? The current incumbent is evil, manipulative, and intends to rule forever over his submissive minions. His solution to 'democracy' might be the Dominion voting machines. He owns the codes!
Pussy Trudeau makes me nauseous, just to look at his smug and dishonest sneer!
The sooner you take back 'control' of your 'communist country' the better - for your own well-being.
Pussy Trudeau is part of the WEF and wants to enslave you all and remain in CONTROL by cancelling future elections. In Canada democracy is dead!
Love SEEING you on video Trish! I so appreciate your honesty and willingness to talk about the tough stuff, even if you go "against the grain" from time to time. It is why I listen to you! You are appreciated and valued here! Hang in there and Happy New Year!

Dear Trish,

Looking forward to hearing more.
