I love Canadians

So good

If Canada was the 51st State this would be our Vichy Gov’s official statement:

Disappointed but not surprised by the mealy-mouthed official Canadian response to the American attack on Venezuela. It’s not even from our PM. Elbows up feels so very long ago. Who is next?

Watching BBC live coverage of US attack on Venezuela because apparently CBC is unaware

Seems fitting that I just finished this as Americans take to the streets again for a national No Kings protest. #booksky #nokings

Taco Taco Man …

Evan Solomon? Really? #cdnpoli

And, soon to make a big comeback in America, folks, please give a warm round of applause for...Typhoid Fever. #stupidamericans

So glad Persephone Books is re-printing this www.bbc.com/culture/arti... #booksky

Screw Loblaws and all its tentacles - No Frills, Shoppers. I have spurned Loblaws for years and feel so vindicated. Money grubbing price fixing asshats.

Heartbreaking.

Arithmetically. Catalyze. Duplicatively. Words Carney used in his first press conference since the election. Love having an egg head in charge. #cdnpoli #elbowsup

I am so proud of my country in this moment. Canadians have united to take a stand against fascism and anti-democratic forces around the world and against Trump in particular. Elbows up Canada! #democracy #canada #liberals #yourvotematters

Given Blanchet’s unfortunate recent comments about Canada - pitch perfect, Beaverton

End the safe third country agreement with the States now - Canada is complicit in torturing families. There is nothing safe about the USA. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #democracy #Canada

Winnie: Dec. 27 2012 - April 23, 2025. He was a very sweet boy. Now is the hardest time to be athiests. Though we don't believe he is with his sweet sister, we do know he is no longer alone. And all they ever knew was love. And that is something. #cats #caturday #hugyourpets

I'm in a thing. For tix: www.kingstongrand.ca/events/unity... #theatre #kingstontheatre #kingstonarts

Hmmm. When they catch the guy, will it be electrocution, firing squad or will they simply chuck him out of a plane at 30,000 feet? www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

Yup

About to cast our votes in the most important election of our lives as we are surrounded by fascists. #canadavotes #kingstonvotes #elbowsup #canada

Every morning I read the news and something else reminds me of Robert Musil saying in 1930s Germany that one of the defining aspects of fascism was the mockery of compassion

Yes!

“Rebel is a conspiratorial partisan outlet that spreads misinformation and actively campaigns against candidates it doesn’t like. This isn’t journalism and it’s obscene that the Debate Commission let them on — and even more wild that it allowed so many of their faux-journalists to hijack…”

Free Willy

PP wears heels - good to know.

CBC - please get Adrienne, Rosemary and David inside. They look frozen. #Debate

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

As I listen to evil gas-powered leaf blowers blasting bees into oblivion, please don't start gardening yet. The bees are in trouble. Wait until it is 10 degrees out there for a while, please. #bees www.cbc.ca/life/hellosp...

Chapter three from Viktor Orban’s best seller How to Make an Autocracy www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/u...

PP’s inside voice: Bring back hanging! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

And this is Canadian “outrage” making headlines today. So glad I live here. Anyone want a button? #elbowsup

Let's stop pretending the US is still a democracy. "We are living in the dark, just as people do in other kleptocracies, and this changes everything." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If I went to ribfest and asked how many people there like BBQ, not too many will tell me no, actually, I’m vegan. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"Her voice if full of money." #booksky

In case, on this anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, anyone wants to read a very interesting take on a great myth-making moment in Canadian history. #booksky

Halfway through this book last night and I had to put it down to take a breather. Carol Off so eloquently contextualizes the crisis facing democracy. Great interviews with so many smart people. Deep breath before I dive back in and return it to the library for the next reader. #booksky

Experiencing more pathetic fallacy here in Kingston this morning.

the market is cruising

Madness in great ones must not unwatch’d go.

The Prime Minister sometimes stumbles in French. So what. Canadians didn’t mind when Jean Chrétien stumbled in English.

It is a tale Told by an idiot

Kentucky, read the room.

And PP claims not to be Trump Lite?

And, when I’m really feeling peeved with the States…A plague on both your houses

So great to see my parents' old vacation spot is going full-tilt hands off. Fight the power, St. Augustine FL. It would be nice to be able to visit you again one day. #handsoff #April5
