Sixty years ago we saw the emergence of the great North American Middle-Class.
Sadly, those days are drawing to a close!
—————–
Canada’s middle-class is mortgaging its future to stay afloat, making the Canadian dream “a myth more than a reality.”
That’s the blunt assessment of an internal Conservative government report, an unvarnished account of the plight of middle-income families that’s in contrast to the rosier economic picture in this month’s budget.
The document was prepared last October by experts in Employment and Social Development Canada, the department that runs the employment insurance fund and other income-support programs.

NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT!
U.S. justice strikes again kids! A group of Muslims in New
York was spied upon by the NYPD to see if they had any terrorist ties!
A judge hearing the case said that if the reporters had never told
the Muslims they were being watched, then they would never nave known
about their rights.

Tiny yappy dogs have taken over the streets of a small town in Arizona, chasing young children while
their parents apparently cower inside, frantically redialing 311 —
Maryvale Animal Control received more than 6,000 calls in the last year
alone.
(Residents say the nipping at their heels isn’t so bad, but the constant yapping is driving everyone NUTS! -Ed)

NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT!
U.S. justice strikes again kids! A group of Muslims in New
York was spied upon by the NYPD to see if they had any terrorist ties!
A couple of reporters found out about it and told the Muslims!
They sued the cops, saying that their rights were violated.
A judge hearing the case said that if the reporters had never told
the Muslims they were being watched, then they would never nave known
about their rights.
CASE DISMISSED!
(We don’t make this stuff up, kids!)

News from the tech world that a growing number of social apps provide anonymity to users.
One of the most popular is Whisper.
It allows people to share secrets without disclosing their identities.
That’s right bunky, why temper your comments, and reply to stuff in a
civilized manner, when ya can go underground and TELL ‘EM WHAT YOUR
REALLY THINK!

They got trouble in RIVER CITY folks ……………………., or at least in Maryvale, Arizona, according to “Gawker!”
Tiny yappy dogs have taken over the streets of a small town in Arizona, chasing young children while
their parents apparently cower inside, frantically redialing 311 —
Maryvale Animal Control received more than 6,000 calls in the last year
alone.
According to ABC 15, the four-legged Napoleons first conquered the area’s animal shelters, then turned to recruiting protection for their bone-running crew.
“Well the
last time I seen six or seven Chihuahuas… and big dogs running with the
Chihuahua’s in a pack running every single day,” Frank Garcia told Fox 10.
But Animal Control says they’ve been so inundated with calls they don’t have the manpower to patrol the streets.
Now residents say that the Chihuahuas have won — packs of 10-15 dogs have started to chase local children to school.http://gawker.com/arizona-town-overrun-by-packs-of-wild-roving-chihuahuas-1529393441

News from the ‘talk show’ world this morning: CNN says the
prime-time talk show “Piers Morgan Live” is coming to an end. Morgan
succeeded Larry King in the 9 p.m. ET time slot three years ago, but his
show has had lacklustre ratings.
CNN said Sunday that the show’s final airdate has yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Fallon is being called the “nicest” guy on late
night TV, but some people are saying that’s not necessarily a good
thing!
As the week unfolded, Fallon emerged as nice. Ultra
nice. He gushed over everyone. “I love this guy so much,” he said,
introducing Bradley Cooper on Wednesday, for a forgettable chat. Almost
simultaneously, competitor Jimmy Kimmel was having great sport with
Matthew McConaughey on the subject of HBO’s seedy, white-hot new crime
series, True Detective.
Obama, Fallon and Ferrell – the men in drag as teenage girls – delivered what was basically a Saturday Night Live
sketch gone wrong. Way too long and overripe. Of course, Fallon
supergushed over Obama when he actually sat down to interview her, but
it was too clear she was controlling the chat. The conversation with
Ferrell led nowhere, certainly not toward hilarity.
Thursday promised much, with Michelle Obama, Will Ferrell and Arcade Fire in the lineup. But it was an excruciating hour.

Don’t get me wrong: Throughout the week, Fallon was always adorable. It’s what he does best. That and gushing.

AND FINALLY: What’s your typical Friday or Saturday night like at the local police station, you ask?
