In Ottawa for the AGM of my writers union, the TWUC,
I took Joan for her birthday to lunch at the Parliament buildings.
Philip Toone, the hard-working, excellent MP for Bonaventure and
the Maggies, and Assistant Whip, brought us to the “Members’ cafeteria”.
There we spoke with the head of the NDP, Thomas Mulcair.
After the lunch in the fine dining room...
... Philip gave us a tour, which included the marvellous Senate Chamber.
Philip presented me with the silver jubilee medal
given by the Queen to certain Canadians...
...beneath the Peace Tower, which I always admire.
