As we know, Ottawa will soon boast another memorial, a Monument to the Victims of Communism - Canada a Land of Refuge, on Confederation Boulevard.

The memorial will take up a block next to the Supreme Court, but changes to the project announced June 25, 2015 show that the scale of the project has been revised “in keeping with design guidelines established for the site.” It will now occupy 37 per cent of the site, down from 60 per cent, and the overall height has been lowered by half. The changes also improve the accessibility of the site and ensure it is compatible surrounding buildings.

It kills me how some people buy cars.

A few years ago, an elderly family friend in Florida decided she should trade in her car, even though there was nothing wrong with it. She paid the full sticker price for a new version of the same car, and I can’t even imagine what she got for a trade-in on that low mileage, perfectly maintained sedan.

Please don’t do that.
