This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Montreal's mafia mogul, Vito Rizzuto, had been arrested for racketeering, loan sharking, and murder some six years ago, and then was released from a U.S. prison lately.
He had been considered to be the most powerful mafia boss in Canada. And he's returned to Canada.
It has profound consequences on Quebec's society, considering the ongoing police investigation into the close links among Quebec's construction industry, mafia, and some Quebec politicians.
