ST PATRICK'S DAY EVEN FOR THE LITTLE IRISH
There are many Irish descendants in the world. Actually more than actually live in Ireland today. In my family we have about 3/8 Irish roots in our Canadian heritage. Irish are one of the main groups in Canadian history. Their perserverance and hard work founded our country. In the Toronto harbour there is a small Irish park honouring those who came to the city and died from illness on their many journeys in the 1840s to find a new life in Canada. As you raise your glass of "green beer' today, says cheers to the Irish!

When Marg and I went to the closing show of Two and two-thirds Men last night, I saw some young people drinking green beer at the associated tavern while they were listening to some men playing the Irish bagpipes. I almost wished I could have joined them instead of going in to the show dinner theatre. There certainly were lots of SPD parties going on in Winnipeg last night.
