Trapped in Suburbia…

It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was blogging about how I was “back” from taking a break. Here I am again…. Unfortunately a family tragedy struck us back in March, and it’s taken until now for things to start to get back to normal.

Members of the House of Commons,
Ladies and gentlemen,

Once again, the people’s representatives have gathered to consider the priorities of another parliamentary session.
