Outside some Marty Robbins ballads, there has never been a song packed with so much information and yet there's more (documents for the nerds):

Here's another July 4th gift for you courtesy of our Federal Court:

"The Federal Court has ordered Canada's refugee board to take another look at an American deserter's failed refugee claim. In a ruling issued Friday, the court found the board had made a mistake in turning down Joshua Key's bid for asylum. The court found that someone who refuses to take part in military action which "systematically degrades, abuses or humiliates" combatants or non-combatants might qualify as a refugee. The court also determined that the board should hear evidence on whether deserters like Key can rely on the American government to treat them fairly."

That's great news, thanks.

I kid not, Morse, when I tell you that Canadians love this song.
(in our adorable collective Canadian way.)

A compilation of songs collected by Lee Murdock about "black sailors who worked on the Great Lakes during the late nineteenth century."

It’s a little-known fact, but many Great Lakes ship captains were abolitionists, and during the late 1800’s, many slaves escaped across the border to Canada on Great Lakes vessels.

Refugee status denied. This is a different case.
