frereubu | on: Payments Canada announces launch of Canada's Real-Time Rail (RTR) payment system
Totally OT, but such a glorious name of the guy in the middle of the top photo, "François-Philippe Champagne". If I read that in a novel I'd be rolling my eyes.

In Canada he's also affectionately known as Frankie Bubbles.

Making Mr. Champagne the minister of Finance is a great nomative determinism, only slightly dulled by the fact he's been minister of like 5 other things over his career

Just as long as they don't make him the minister for health. Transport might also be a bit dubious.
