The G7 meeting in La Malbaie is getting nice weather. That is a relief.
The Journal de Montreal is running a brief history of the institution in
today's paper. I was happy to learn that it originated an informal meeting of finance ministers
that got pulled up to bring the actual leaders together, at the time of Valery Giscard d'Estaing.

Today is also World Gin Day, a happy coincidence for the Queen on the Trouping  the Color
(rumored to choose gin as her indulgence of choice).

And hard liquor is actually vegan.

What went down at the G7 meeting,acording to AFP (AgenceFrancePresse):

Asking Russia to return is not officially an issue; the US is firm about wanting various
countries to import more US products. There were overnight talks between officials.
