Proroguing Parliament

from Unpublished Cafe · host Unpublished Media Inc.

PUBLISHED: 22/08/2020 It’s time to hit the reset button according to the Prime Minister. Whether it will save his government is still to be seen. Parliament has been prorogued until late September. The WE Scandal has dragged down the image and support of the Liberals and it has shown Finance Minister Bill Morneau the door.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans. We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
