Nice to see we beat “those damn Yankees” in hockey last Thursday.
Whew, it was close, however!
We Canucks are still the best in the world when it comes to ice sports including the ice we skate on and the cubes we put in our drinks!
Now, if only a Canadian team could bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada!
We hear the PeeEm wants to build a high transit rail service line from Toronto to Quebec City.
The best thing is old Justin does not have to worry about the cost, expected in the billions of dollars.
Remember what he said, “The budget will balance itself.”
How about us in the Peace region? How come we can’t get a high-speed line from Peace River to High Prairie, or High Prairie to Joussard? It can’t be too hard on the PeeEm to write another cheque. He’s been doing it for years.
As for high-speed, don’t worry too much. Judging from the high number of speeding tickets in the local court docket, seems there is already a high-speed service available.
Did you see in South Peace News last week the 9,000+ speeding tickets issued in Ontario from five recently-installed cameras?
Heck, that’s nothing! Just have local police set up speed traps outside the Provincial Buildings at Peace River and High Prairie at 4:30 p.m. Friday and watch revenues soar!
Man, it was so cold last week the politicians had their hands in their own pockets for a change!
Instead of the taxpayer’s pockets, that is!
Had to laugh at any groundhog who was brave enough to stick his nose out of the den Feb. 2 and predict winter was over.
That stupid rodent froze his you-know-what off last week!
The Page is a bit sad this week after last.
Sunday, The Page enjoyed pancakes at Enilda, then hotdogs at Triangle. Monday, more pancakes in High Prairie. And all for free! The Pages favourite word when it comes to food!
The Page gives a bit tip of the hat to Big Lakes Family and Community Support Services, and all the rest of the organizations which held Family Day events in the region last week. Well done!
The Page remembers a Peanuts cartoon where Snoopy received an extra big supper to celebrate National Dog Week. Snoopy said they needed a National Dog Month.
Drawing a parallel to Family Day, how about Family Week, everyone?
There must be a lot of happy women out in readership land. The Page drove around town last week and did not see one doghouse occupied by a husband or boyfriend. Apparently, the women got pretty spoiled on Sweetheart’s Day Feb. 14!
As well they should!
Remember the similarity between a wedding and a divorce.
In each case, it is the end of life as man previously knew it!
OK, all you fishermen! Remember to circle March 8 on your calendar. It’s the day the Joussard Community Association hosts their annual Ice Fishing Tournament.
The event sometimes draws over 100 teams to go after the little fishies in Lesser Slave Lake.
Fish in the lake are safe from the Page, however. His fishing expertise is limited to Captain Highliner in the freezer section at the grocery store.
The Page came across this tidbit.
New research has uncovered the heaviest element yet know to science. It is called governmentium (Gv). It is comprised of one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic number of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons., which are surrounded by vast quantities of left-on particles called peons.
Since governmentium has no electrons or protons, however, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of governmentium can cause a reaction normally taking less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years. It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, government- ium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that when governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalysed (produces a reaction) with money, governmentium becomes administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons. All of the money is consumed in the exchange, and no other byproducts are produced.
Have a great week, everyone!
