The Liberals are having a great run with Trudeau’s sort of resignation, the smoke&mirrors Liberal Leadership show, Trump being Trump, etc…but what’s this?:

It’s tiny, but Carney has been PM for most of a day now…& is in the honeymoon phase.

Meanwhile…Library and Archives Canada has budgeted to spend up to $2 million to purchase outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s personal papers, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“Documents deemed to have national importance are those that bear witness to the Canadian experience, federal or Canada-wide, those that have influenced the development of Canada, those that have a broad national scope, those that have or had an impact on trends and events in the country and those that illustrate Canada’s contribution to, and perspectives on, international trends,” read a 2018 memo from Library and Archives Canada.

Sunny ways
Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny ways
Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

I really think there's nothin' quite so fine
As lettin' the sun rejuvenate your mind
Don't get me wrong, I really dig the moon
But it was four in the afternoon when I wrote this tune

And now the sun's about to fade away
I'm feelin' better than I've felt for days
You know, there's nothin' better for your soul
Than lyin' in the sun and listenin' to rock 'n roll

Sunny ways
Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny ways
Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
Than lyin' in the sun with your radio.....

Government Archives could pay Justin Trudeau up to $2M for personal papers
Former PMs regularly offered seven-figure sums to archive personal papers upon leaving office

OTTAWA — Papers, please.


Library and Archives Canada has budgeted to spend up to $2 million to purchase outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s personal papers, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“Documents deemed to have national importance are those that bear witness to the Canadian experience, federal or Canada-wide, those that have influenced the development of Canada, those that have a broad national scope, those that have or had an impact on trends and events in the country and those that illustrate Canada’s contribution to, and perspectives on, international trends,” read a 2018 memo from Library and Archives Canada.


Previous leaders have likewise been offered money well into seven figures in order to acquire and preserve their personal papers — former PM Stephen Harper was paid $1.6 million for his papers upon leaving office in 2006, while Pierre Trudeau and Brian Mulroney each netted $1 million for theirs.

Each PM’s papers are stored and archived by government archivists, which will eventually be made publicly available.

Policy enacted nearly 60 years ago dictates a 30-year wait before prime ministerial papers are made available to the general public, with those dealing with national security subject to a 60-year hold.
