Jane Macdougall : Sewing notions are buttons, zippers, hooks, elastic — the things that keep your pants anchored, your fly oriented to the north pole, button-down shirts buttoned, and bras snugly in place.

In Vancouver , fabric stores were simply everywhere, with Gold’s , Elegance, Gala , Fabricana , Saba Brothers , Robson's Fabrics and, of course, all the department store fabric departments.

The economy has resulted in people having very few after-tax dollars to spend on hobbies, she says.

The solution is simple: Eliminate all national anthems from sporting events.

Being proud of who we are, and who we strive to be, is important and appropriate.

A peace-loving people do not imitate hostility. We rise above it. We lead not by jeering but by example.

Booing the U.S. national anthem sends a message that Canadians will not be submissive to a bully.

The boos are directed not at the American people, but who they elected and his minions.

There are better ways to send a message without degrading our national reputation.
