Today, our reliable diarist seems to alter his usual course as he emulates Donald with photographic evidence of crowd size that is quite misleading.
Downtown Port Credit was hopping yesterday! Many – MANY! – people showed up for their annual Canada Day parade as
this picture, taken by his neighbour, reveals:

As well, he leads us to believe that, after their lonely vigil on an empty street, he and Marjorie sadly wandered back home finding an equally abandoned giant frog along the way. They kindly gave it a new home in their backyard.
“And they all lived happily ever after. The end.”
No! No! No! That is not the end!
Marjorie has also sent along the final photo, this one of impressive beach art which added to the celebration our national
day. Is that Alan way off in the distance? There were certainly no crowds there either. Or were there?
And now, today – right now – Canada’s future really begins.
The sweltering heat will usher it in as it returns this afternoon. Take care.
