If the US moves to invade, or places a blockade on us in Canada, I support conscription of all able bodied Canadians under 40 that aren't working for an essential service/business. With this we would have the numbers to really tar and feather the hell out of the US forces.

The thing about Donald Trump and his 51st state annexation threats to us 🇨🇦, is that he doesn't really scare us, and he probably doesn't have the balls to invade, because he knows damn well the Canadian Military would go insurgency mode, and they are armed with some fairy modern NATO weapons.

You eat a lot of cheap stuff when you're low income. Tonight's meal will be a couple hacked boxes of Annie's White cheddar shells, with marinated and sauteed canned mushrooms and some real old cheddar grated in, then baked in a small casserole in my convection toaster oven.

More survival food... More roasted sweet potatoes... Don't really eat other kinds of potatoes that much. I like healthier carbs than that, a subtle method of diabetes prevention. No Teriyaki sauce this time so will make a garlic butter sauce instead.

Now I'm laughing at myself because I couldn't see properly to open a garbage bag, so I had to switch from my normal eyeglasses to a pair of specialized reading glasses just to do it. Getting older is a frustrating treasure.

There are SO many bands reuniting for tours this coming year. It would be nice if The Tragically Hip reunited, and found themselves a new lead singer. It's all about finding someone that can match Gord Downie's pitches and enunciations.

Israel should get kicked out of Eurovision for ten years. The world needs to also take things seriously in bringing the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to justice so that he cannot be in charge of any more atrocities. If Israel really wants to do things right, they should turn him over

Trans people from the US: it already wasn't "safe" for you in your country and that was when the guys that were on your side were in power. Now it's become worse, and these current goons in power want to erase your existence totally, and warehouse you in the mental health system.

If this gets any worse, the blue states should secede from the United States, and join Canada as our newest Canadian provinces. The Red States are a bunch of weirdos, if Trump didn't cheat to win them. 7 out of 7 swing states? I don't fuckin think so.

I swear when someone says "Merry Christmas" to me I respond with a "Happy Holidays". It's just automatic, I respect that a lot of people (and faiths) have traditions at this time of year.

The reason why things seems so cool and advanced on Star Trek,and why we have some of those things today (and it's nowhere near the 24th century) is because of leftism.

If you weren't a rich, white, non-queer person, and you voted for Trump that was a mistake for you. Make no mistake that he plans to go after everybody that doesn't fit those three categories. And the ones that he leaves free will be plundered to poverty by Trump's tariffs.

Wow, Trump is a bigot!! Just hating on everybody that don't look like he does or live like he does. First trans people, then brown Hispanics, then poor and homeless people, and now Somalis. He's Orange Hitler, and hates real America so he wants to destroy it and make it into a fascist distopia.

Got any inventors our there? How about inventing an AR projector that can be used of ANY pair of eyeglasses by mounting them to them to the arms and projecting on the back of the lenses, that hooks into your phone to give you customized AR experience

Just a reminder that if you defecate in somebody's entranceway you are a disgusting piece of shit. The city of Vancouver really needs to open more public washrooms that are accessible 24 hours a day. I'm fucking sick and tired of my home being a place for people to take a dump.

We need an Orange Wave in Canada, and the NDP should try and find a strong enough candidate base to wow voters and end the Liberal-Conservative right wing grip on the country. We need a strong center-left party that can make things better for seniors, the middle-class and low income people.

Vaccinate your kids, vaccinate your pets and Vax yourself. There is no reason with the proper precautions that people should be catching preventable communicable diseases (like measles) this day in age. Want safe free range kids? Want safe free range pets? Vax first.

The Canadian government should buy out a patch of land somewhere in Vancouver and build a few modern high rises for low income independent housing in the City Vancouver. There are a lot of people that are homeless and stuck in shelters that might not want to resort to supportive housing.

There are plenty of faiths that have December celebrations so I just keep it to "Happy Holidays" out of respect for all faiths. I have a Yule Tree, not a Christmas tree.

There are SO MANY people in Canada living emotionally miserable lives every day that don't think there's anything wrong with their minds or are too afraid to seek help with their problems They flat out refuse to get a diagnosis, and seek therapeutic measures like medicine or a counselor.

Not all childless ladies want to get a cat, I'd rather have a rat. (Easier and cheaper to take care of, and still cute af.) They make great familiars if you're a Pagan.

Apologies on the post about women and makeup. I'll reframe that opinion: I don't believe it should be a requirement for women (of any age) to do makeup or shave their legs to fit in.

If you suck up to a fascist dictator or a would be fascist dictator, you are SCUM. These people all have one thing in common, applying their hate to discriminate against and imprison people for bigoted reasons, and also those who refuse to go along with it, even taking their lives.

People gotta stop being so damn sensitive when someone says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, it's a copycat holiday anyways. Christmas was originally copied from the Pagan holiday of Yule, right down to the presents, the feast and the tree.

Canada needs to leave behind the US, and eliminate them as a middle-man for products from countries that aren't the United States, choosing instead to do DIRECT trade for coffee and other international products. It's rediculous that people are paying up to 30-40 bucks for a kilo of coffee.

Ban the Bible and all the other religions fictional holy books to people under 18. It's indoctrination to pass it off as "fact" when the earth took much longer than 7 days to create, is much OLDER than 6,000 years, there were no talking donkeys or snakes, no great flood, probably no Jesus, etc.

Forcing people to attend a religious service in order to get a free meal, free clothing, etc, is cruel and unethical. You don't force religion on people at gun point. People should be free to not hear a bunch of anti-human, anti-scientific mumbo jumbo when they are just trying to get a meal.

I sometimes say "I'm having an upper case J" when I really mean I'm smoking a big ass joint. It's nice to be able to buy legal weed in Canada, when the Dems regain control of the House down in the US, they should nationally legalize it's great for government revenue from taxation.

Making sesame oil roasted,(extra large) Japanese Sweet Potatoes with a customized teriyaki sauce to top it off tonight. Another cheap meal loaded with good slow-acting carbs that dont raise the blood sugar too much, and some essential vitamins, and good for a vegan night.

The staged "assassination attempt" of Trump that killed several audience goers was a SACRIFICE by the fascists. Charlie Kirk was another SACRIFICE set up by the fascists to rally far right-wing voters. They were both dog whistles, designed to spur the gullible.

No new oil pipelines in BC, Carney and Smith have no deal. A super majority of people from BC won't support it. We don't need even more risk of polluting our land.

I really pisses me off when I go to purchase something, look inside the box and half of it is missing because of a fucking petty shoplifter. BC government really needs to be clamp down on RAMPANT shoplifting that isn't a food item. That's not "survival" theft. Lock em up!!

I get along just fine with Canadian booze, I'm not interested in buying American alcohol. The beer is mostly shit, except for the craft brewing industry on the west coast, and Im not a fan of bourbon.

One thing I really like about BlueSky is that posts aren't delayed, you get them in your feed practically as soon as they're posted. On X there is always a delay of hours to even days after they've been made.

As a retired security supervisor, I think the security industry has gotten too violent in some places. Some guards are too prone to use violence, and are poorly trained in de-escalation tactics. Often this violence is driven by the security guard's racism and other forms of discrimination.

Yes, trans girls, don't worry so much about top surgery. Estrogen-Progesterone therapy will grow you after enough time at the right dose. I'm a 38-D these days, and that's big enough for my back. You don't need a monster set of boobs to impress real people.

Donald Trump really is like Adolf Hitler in that he gave himself immunity to all charges and repercussions for his crimes against humanity. They are even trying to deport citizens FFS. He's building a massive concentration camp in Texas, on top of the one he already has in Florida.

Two mad-men in control of of worlds largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons, what can go wrong?

X has really gone downhill since Elon Musk (fascist) took over, then changed it's name from Twitter to X. It's full of bots, impersonators, hate speech and misinformation and many of those accounts are likely paid to work by their governments and well funded.

Most Trans people are introverts but outgoing, especially for their loved ones. And a lot of us are actually assexual and prefer cordial love. Once early transition is over and it's been awhile, the sex drive calms down, and the hormones really begin to show their physical effects

If there actually was a Jesus, he was just a human philosopher. He was not actually god or "immaculately" conceived. If Joseph didn't think he was the father, then Mary slept with someone else.

A lot of atheists and agnostics are more Jesus-like than many Christians are.

Teriyaki Salmon Burgers 3x215g cans of salmon 3 large eggs 1-1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs 2/3 cup red onions 1 tsp garlic powder 1/3 cup a thick teriyaki sauce Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Let marinate 15 min. Shape into burger patties.

Capitalism should give back, and increase social services for the low income and middle classes. Big corporations should be taxed more, and the ultra wealthy should pay more income tax. If they replace workers with technology, they should pay more in taxes because of the increased profits.

Breeders be like "The world isn't overpopulated, you should have lots of babies."

I really don't care what genitals the person peeing beside me in the other stall has. It's not my business. They are just peeing for god sakes.

All of those middle class (skilled) workers that are "imported" to Canada boost our revenues both provincially and federally in tax dollars, as well as boost the economy. Immigration, when done the right way is a boon for nations. Nations just need to keep up with their infrastructure programs.

"You can fight without ever winning, but never win without a fight" - Rush (Lee, Lifeson, Peart)

The term "cis" is not derogatory, it describes a non-trans person on equal terms with a trans person. Like saying "European-American" as opposed to "African American", or you could just describe them as Americans.
