Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Call it ‘Global Warming’ or ‘Climate Change,’ it doesn’t make any difference.

Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Well, we’re now only 4 days away from Christmas and it feels more like April in my neck of the woods – Southwestern Ontario. It’s drizzling like it’s April out there and it’s supposed to be 14 degrees Celsius here in a couple days! It’s almost time for our annual trip north to Kirkland Lake for the big day.
