I took the Acela Express from Philadelphia to New Haven last Dec. 10. It was nice to turn on the Speedometer App on my smartphone, and see that the train went over 150 mph, north of Trenton.

I should have known better about the date that Trudeau ( fils) became Prime Minister. I was travelling in Nova Scotia and PEI in the summer of 2015. I remember the incessant Conservative Party TV ads " Prime Minister is not an entry level position". We flew PHL to Halifax ( route no longer...
