The piece predicts a sharp retail hangover after a record 1983, with consumer activity dipping for a month and January sales weak. It envisions falling interest rates late in 1984, a weaker Canadian dollar, rising gold prices, and a better housing period ahead as mortgage funds improve and budgets loosen.
Paul Hellyer and Justice Minister Mark MacQuigan back stronger penalties for drunk driving as part of a broader move to curb impaired driving. The writer urges civil libertarians to accept blood tests, notes past tragedies, and argues for periodic police checks and a shift in public attitude to viewing driving under the influence as unacceptable.
A 1964 speech excerpt cites Prime Minister Lester Pearson praising Canada’s future flag and tradition. It also recalls Senator Henry Clay’s 1810 quip about command of the oceans and expansion, illustrating long debate over national power and identity.
Brief notes mix cultural zodiac, sainthood prophecy, a political slam at the United States, early Manitoba bone dating, and a tongue in cheek St Regis Hotel overheard quip. The piece threads playful observations with light irony on news topics.
