Two weeks ago, I had to switch desks at work. My new desk limits my internet access because of the location, but on the bright side, I have an almost new computer with a built-in speaker. I listen to CBC Radio One from Toronto every day now. In fact, I think I know more about what was going on in Canada last week than the US.

So, last week:

--There was an uproar by fans over the departure of Ron MacLean from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. A contract was reached...things are now back to normal.

--Queen Elizabeth is hanging out in Canada for the next week or so. She arrived Friday in Nunavut, made a speech in Iqaluit (Nunavut's capital), and then headed to British Columbia.

--A BC pig farmer is apparently suspected of killing several women in downtown Vancouver.

--Canada backs the US's stance on the new Iraqi inspection agreement (that it's not tough enough).

--Toronto is considering using its Centre City Airport (which IIRC, is on an island in Lake Ontario, just off the mainland) for commercial flights of 900 km or less. Two US cities would be included: Boston and *thinks* Detroit.

Nic, how did I do?
