Happy Valentine’s Day!

With the swearing in of the Obama administration last month, there should be a whole host of new opportunities for bilateral cooperation between Canada and the United States. One such area of cooperation and dialogue related to our riding is the issue of border crossings, and specifically the soon to be implemented Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.

Saturday is Valentine’s Day and in a quick survey around the office, I learned that in most homes something chocolate will be served up. Retailers will have restocked their chocolate supplies so that wayward husbands and boyfriends can retain some dignity by offering a gift up.
The florists have already ordered in dozens upon dozens or red roses and will be busy on Friday and Saturday making deliveries. Restaurants have been advertising their special “Lover’s menus” and are taking reservations. Marketing people are not leaving anything to chance for males.
