Have you all paid your tax bills?
Sorry to bring that up!
The Page remembers former M.D. of Big Lakes CAO John Eriksson. He always looked forward to having “fresh money” to spend after tax time.
Speaking of taxes, how can Canadians be so well off when they have three levels of government all robbing them at the same time?
A reader passes along a big “thank you!” and “job well done” for Peavine Inn & Suites for their Canada Day lunch and entertainment on July 1.
The Page also enjoyed lunch and the music provided.
Of course, The Page met very few free lunches he did not enjoy!
It is reported American President Donald Trump made $2 billion last year. Wow!
A reporter than asked Trump how he did it, possibly hinting there might have been some – ahem! – nefarious dealings.
Trump responded by saying the stock market soared under his presidency and that America was working and many people making money.
The Page asks, can Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney make the same claim?
With all the wet weather, the mosquitoes are now out in full force.
The Page reminds readers it is only the female mosquitoes that bite. They need blood for their eggs to hatch.
Pesky females!
Speaking of skitters, here are some helpful tips to avoid getting bit!
Cover as much of your body as possible when outdoors, especially in grassy or wooded areas. No more bikinis, ladies!
Wear long-sleeved, light-coloured shirts and pants, and a hat. No more halter tops and shorts, ladies!
Stay indoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Who wants to get up at 6 a.m.?
Use insect repellent! Or, be sure to take your better half with you and hope he/she gets bit instead!
Terra Cycle says Canadians throw away 150 million toothbrushes a year! Wow! In a country as small as Canada, imagine how many toothbrushes Americans toss away!
Canucks throw away a toothbrush every three to four months. Each goes directly to the landfill because they are made from mixed plastics that recycling will not touch.
Why mentions this? National Toothbrush Recycling Day was June 26. Don’t know if we have this anywhere in our region but TerraCycle has Zero Waste Box and Zero Waste Pouch solutions which accept oral care items from any brand including toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, floss containers, dental aligners, and more.
Good idea!
You know you are getting old when most of your friends went to the movies as children and there was no sound!
The Page figures there is a serious problem in the health care system when there is a nine-month waiting list for abortions!
After an evening at the local watering hole, a man was in no shape to drive so he wisely parked his car and started walking home. As luck would have it, he met a policeman.
“What are you doing walking the streets at 2 a.m.?” asked the policeman.
“Going to a lecture,” replied the man.
“And just who is giving a lecture at this early hour?” asked the policeman.
“My wife!” replied the man.
A Sunday School teacher got more than he bargained for one day.
“Billy, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the ark,” he asked.
“No way,” said Billy. “There were two of everything on the ark. How could he with just two worms?”
Last week, The Page heard a man was stopped for speeding and became involved in an argument with the police officer.
“I don’t think this is fair,” said the speeder. “There were plenty of other cars who were going just as fast, so why was I the only one to get a ticket?”
“Ever go fishing?” asked the policeman.
“Yes, of course,” said the man.
“Ever catch them all?”
Summer is here!
Have a great week!
