Carnie's Comments

They played all their "Greatest Hits of All Time" and had some fun doing it.

The 80s Club, featuring Spoons, Men Without Hats, A Flock of Seagulls and Honeymoon Suite took to the stage at the Moose Jaw Events Centre for their 5th show in 5 nights. I wondered if some of these aging rock stars could "bring it". They did and they left it all on the stage.

I loved watching Sandy Horne of Spoons. She plays bass and delivers backing vocals. She's 63 years old. She's been with Spoons since 1979 - 45 years. She was awesome.

If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote. 

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there's no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.
