As the year ends, it is hard to get through the day without seeing some sort of “year in review” feature. I will leave it to you to reflect and determine whether 2017 was a great year, a good year, or an annus horribilis.
As the book closes on 2017, let’s look forward with optimism to the new year. Some things to look forward to (or not) in 2018 include:
- The Law Society of Upper Canada becomes the Law Society of Ontario
- The 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang
- The FIFA World Cup (sadly, senza Italia) in Russia
- The real possibility of a (hopefully long) Toronto Maple Leafs post-season
- The royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
- A royal baby for Prince William and Duchess Catherine
- The legalization of marijuana
- A probable spike in the price of snack food
- The 100th anniversary of the end of World War I
- The 50th anniversary of the US Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act)
- An Ontario provincial election
- A Toronto municipal election
- US midterm elections
- The filming of the last (and Kevin Spacey-less) season of House of Cards
- 252 more Hull and Hull blogs!
We live in interesting times. Cheers to a great new year.
