I describe the difference between the news media space in Canada and the United States, and why I believe most Canadian journalism is now state funded government propaganda. I describe how I get my news from a variety of non-Canadian sources to kludge together a view of what is going on in my own country.

I talk about an incredible brooch from the house of Boivin that was designed in the 1950’s, auctioned in 2013, and then completely vanished into a private collection. Perhaps whoever bought it can show it off again?

Finally, in heist news, the French police seem to be flailing in their crown jewels theft investigation.
