St. Patrick’s Day is less than two weeks away!
Are you brewing your green beer?
Yankee Doodle not so dandy!
Yes, those damn Yankees (a term usually reserved for baseball) won both Olympic gold medals at the expense of Canada!
That hurts!
Sometimes, in the case of the men’s game, a goaltender steals the win. Canada had by far the better of play and missed more chances than someone at a needle factory stabbing at a room full of balloons!
It will be awful tough listening to the Yankees the next four years. Revenge will be so sweet when it occurs!
We hope!
Of course, Vladimir Putin is saying the Americans won only because Russia was banned!
The Page does not even want to hear from Costa Rica!
The Page could not help but hear the noise from Quebec that one of the reasons Canada lost was because no one of the Team Canada roster was from Quebec! It was the first time since 1952!
Sheesh! Think how bad it might have been if we had players from Quebec!
President Donald Trump’s invitation to the men’s team to the State of the Union address caused quite a stir when he said he would have to also invite the women’s team.
The Page does not think this was meant as a joke but could be wrong. Still, what an outrageously stupid comment to make! And so disrespectful!
Women’s sports have made tremendous strides the last few years but idiotic comments from people like Trump only show there is a long road left to travel, a hill to climb, an ocean to swim, etc., etc.
There is good news in the sports world! The NHL is back in action which means Toronto fans can forget about the Maple Leafs and cheer on the Blue Jays!
The Page could not help but notice all three of Big Lakes County’s donations from their charity golf tournament went to three organizations based in High Prairie. Please see page 8.
While they are all excellent choices, one has to wonder who took the “county” out of Big Lakes County. That is, why no organizations form the county (Kinuso, Faust, Joussard, Enida, etc.) were selected.
Hmmm!
It is pretty obvious to The Page our politicians are not Stompin’ Tom Connors fans.
He sings in his song The Consumer, “And save a lot of money, spending money we don’t got. We’ll save a lot of money spending money we don’t got!’
Yes, another big deficit budget for Alberta taxpayers Feb. 26. What a surprise!
Yes, Alberta continues to spend money it does not have.
But so does the federal government. It reminds The Page of the old saying, “Monkey see, monkey do!”
Should be an interesting evening at Triangle March 4!
Mitch Sylvester, a proponent of the Independence movement in Alberta, will be at Triangle to give a presentation.
People will be able to sign petitions from 6-10 p.m. If interested, bring one piece of government-issued ID with your current name and current physical address, or two pieces of ID with name, one of which has your current physical address.
Sylvester will speak at about 7 p.m.
Come hear what he has to say!
The hall is 15 kms west of High Prairie on Highway 2.
What is longer: a politician’s speech or waiting in line at the doctor’s office?
A doctor goes into the office to visit his patient.
“Sir,” says the doctor. “I have good news and bad news for you.”
“What’s the good news, doc?” asks the patient.
“They’re going to name a disease after you!”
If you are one of many lucky people who picked up your South Peace News March 3, you discovered it was ‘What if Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day?’
South Peace News office feline Slink Panther was asked and immediately responded he would be able to open a can of Fancy Feast or break into the supply of Cat Chow!
One track mind, that Slink Panther! Always hungry!
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could so she would not be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, “Dear Lord, please don’t let me be late! Dear Lord, please don’t let me be late!”
As she was running and praying, she tripped and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up and began to run and continued praying.
“Please, Lord! Don’t let me be late. But quit shoving me!”
Did you hear about the drunk who went to the doctor, who ordered him to watch his drinking.
Now he only goes to bars and lounges with mirrors!
