Progressive in politics, bonded to music, wrote ad copy to pay the bills. Greatest accomplishment is my two adult children: a girl who is an intense wonder and a boy with severe mental and physical issues. They've both shaped me into the man I am today.

I'm playing music by Canadian artists today while keeping the TV off. There's so much to choose from: Neil Young Joni Mitchell Leonard Cohen Guess Who Gordon Lightfoot The Band The Tragically Hip Maybe I'll throw in some Rush, Sarah McLaughlan, Alanis Morisette and Barenaked Ladies.

Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”
