This was in interesting documentary on an Artist you've probably never heard of - equal parts Wing-Nut, Genius, Megalomaniac...
You can watch it on Netflix here, or content yourself with his biography here or watch a YouTube Clip that summarizes some of his work.

Watching dumb spaghetti-westerns, none of which really deserve a separate review:
What makes them is the chemistry between Terrence Hill (Think Italian Bob Newman) and Bud Spencer.
The last 2 are comedies, the first a more serious stab at a Western. Impressive given they all were filmed around Europe and nary an American or real life gunslinger amongst them. But - Nowhere near the level of writing or cinematography that went into any of Sergio Leones Films. So just mindless entertainment, of the variety that says I'm not feeling productive...

The current Premier of Manitoba, the more I see of this guy the more I like him.
First of all, he's Native / Aboriginal / First Nations. They're too underrepresented in Politics.
Second, he speaks plain, common sense truth, seems to have a very likeable demeanour, and is making decisions for the long term and on behalf of the population he represents.
Again, way underrepresented in Politics these days.
Here's a few links to him speaking on topics of the moment:
Link: On Alberta Separatism
Link: On Data Centres
There's of course more, but he's one of those rare people that makes you glad to be Canadian. Contrast him to Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith, who in any other day and age would have been hung and had her carcass thrown to the dogs...

It's been a while since I went for groceries, instead opting to go to the Co-op and get a days worth at a time.
Eating fancy cuts of meat, like Bison and Venison and Elk, I expect to pay more for this and so there's no complaints.
But at the Save-on, and I'm confronted with how expensive quite literally everything has gotten, vegetables, Olive Oil, the basics, staples, lean ground beef at $11 a pound, sure, enough for 3, 4 meals, but still...
Bloody hell. And this is just the beginning, the straits of Hormuz still being closed and there's a famine in the pipes...
