Happy Friday everyone!!
It’s the long weekend in Canada for some (and probably not for others), but I hope you are having a great week regardless. In the states, it’s also the long weekend. How… strange.
There’s good news all over the place: Canadian mining companies getting rejected, Christopher Columbus getting rejected, man spread getting rejected. It’s grand!
So wherever you are, whatever you’re doing and whatever you choose to celebrate or not, have a great Friday and beyond!
Happy reading.
