How my riding has voted since 1965. You have to go back to 1926 to find a 🔵 in what is now Burnaby Central. 1965: 🟠 1968: 🔴 1972: 🟠 1974: 🔴 1979: 🟠 1980: 🟠 1984: 🟠 1988: 🟠 1993: 🟢 1997: 🔴 2000: 🔴 2004: 🟠 2006: 🟠 2008: 🟠 2011: 🟠 2015: 🟠 2019: 🟠 2021: 🟠 2025: 🔴

@_UniqueLaura_ @Mazirian @Hot_Pepper76 It’s one of the additional verses from a 45 released in the early 70s. Our neighbours had a copy and my dad taped it. (Pirated, lol) The first pilot had an additional verse. Had my 12 tube radio Loved the Eddie Cantor show Oh where did all that beauty go youtu.be/Pn_--ZFTHN4

Wait just a minute... Did the lyrics to All in the Family just fly under the radar back then? Listening now, that opening was saying a whole lot. That was not just a catchy opener. It was sharp, loaded, nostalgic, and telling you exactly what kind of show you were about to watch before the first scene even started. That was a bold way to open a sitcom... Boy, the way Glenn Miller played Songs that made the Hit Parade Guys like us, we had it made Those were the days And you knew who you were then Girls were girls, and men were men Mister, we could use a man Like Herbert Hoover again Didn't need no welfare state Everybody pulled his weight Gee, our old LaSalle ran great Those were the days

@Hot_Pepper76 People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent. Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days!

Vancouver Sun, April 21 1977. These old columns are fun to read with hindsight. If the 1990s taught us anything the rise of a “Prairie Party” just lead to perpetual Liberal rule. And when did the “decisive period of this great threatening crisis” end? 1980? 1995? Never?

Ugh, I replaced “unexpected” with “surprising” but neglected to change an to a. Still not going to pay for an edit button though.

@zunxra @JakeLandauTO So they're moving Laurier to the $50? I have to say it's somewhat weird to have Laurier and Borden as the only politicians left on our money. If we're going this far we might as well just get rid of politicians on the money entirely.
