In this episode, welcome to my world; negotiating daily life, as a "textbook example" of a "high-functioning" adult Boomer with ADHD in a modern world. Hijinx can sometimes ensue, which can be both trying and entertaining; sometimes simultaneously.

For some context, I originally co-wrote and recorded this show back in September 2024, with a hopeful release date, which never came to fruition, shortly thereafter.

It's either going to be federal Liberal Leader PM Justin Trudeau or federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre who end up forming Canada's Federal Governemnt in 2025. Yet, the federal NDP manage to get things passed while they're always in opposition; Remember CAD$2000.00 per month deposited into qualifing Canadian's bank accounts back in 2020 when Covid19 struck. That was an NDP thing as Trudeau initially only offered CAD$1000.00 per month. Then there's the new Canadian Dental Care Plan, also courtesy of Jagmeet Singh and the NDP.

As I call New Westminster home, I recognize and respect that New Westminster is on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Halkomelem speaking peoples. I acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As a City, we are learning and building relationships with the people whose lands we are on.
