It was named for the White House cat: Operation Epic Furry. People keep spelling it wrong!

Operation Epic Fury? That's what they're calling it? Is the Pentagon being run by 14-year-old edgelords?

The Kitchener-Waterloo iON is a very enjoyable ride. I like the sound of the bells at the crossings too. It gives me a warm feeling when I hear them. It's a small thing, but it makes the day more enjoyable.

1) Canada operates under a Westminster parliamentary system. Budget votes are confidence matters. If the government cannot pass a budget, a vote of no confidence. The Prime Minister must either resign, or Ask the Governor General to dissolve Parliament, triggering a snap election.

The winter mice are back!

This is how Canadian-made rifles make it to Russia.

Today I discovered that olives are grown in Ukraine! I thought Ukraine was too cold. Where can I get some of these mysterious Ukrainian olives, or the oil made from them? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aglandau

I appear to have a case of food poisoning. This has not been a great day. BUT! At least I don't have Pierre Poilievre as my Prime Minister. There's always a bright side.

This looks like my kind of event! I hope I can make it.

It sounds crazy to me that 107 days is the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. The maximum length of a campaign cycle in Canada is... 51 days. What's all this nonsense about campaigning for two years for every damn election? How do American politician get anything done?

@support.bsky.team The Ukrainian activist and humor account @reshetz (Mira of Kyiv) seems to be suspended/banned. This must be a mistake. Likely automatic suspension after Russian trolls mass reporting her. This is not a good look for @bsky.app Please help restore the account

I won the internet! I is quietly proud.

Couple others for you 😊

Woohoo! Now there's a great Mexican restaurant near my work, as well as a Mexican street food place, AND a tamale place within easy walking distance of my home. Things are looking up in Cheery Tomato Town!

@affirmationcoyote.bsky.social you should tell your people to be more careful! If they're going to infiltrate festivals, they should learn to go incognito like you do.

I just had a little peek at the Clearsky app to see if JD Vance really is the most-blocked user on Bluesky (yes he is). Decided to see who was blocking me while I was there. I don't know any of the people blocking me, and they all appear to be mushroom enthusiasts. I'm a bit befuddled.

Falls die euch auch schon mal gefolgt sind, dann wieder entfolgt, und danach folgen sie dann wieder... ⚠️ Zum 200. Mal: Ja, German Lions sind Scammer. Nicht folgen. Nicht spenden.

All the fruit trees are planted and staked now! The fruit trees were still dormant when I got them, but the apples, pears and cherry are all leafing out now. So far they have survived my tender loving care. 😰

For my American friends who aim to misbehave on this fine No King's Day, here are some words of encouragement from your northern neighbour. Now, go forth, stay safe, and make good trouble. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEZQ...

The Prairie Cherry is now planted, w00t! It is now part of my rose hedge... OK, not much of a hedge yet, the plants are still too small, but it will be a GREAT hedge. The variety is called "D'Artagnan" which is one of the famous Romance Series cherries developed by the University of

We know who our friends are.

The pear trees are all planted! Now I just have to figure out where to put the almond tree and the prairie cherry. I should have figured that out before I bought them, but I was excited to see them in the catalogue and got a little ahead of myself. ☺️

All the new apple trees are planted and watered! Next I have to plant the pears, the almond tree and the Prairie cherry. I'm not posting photos, because my garden is horrifying. Except for the new trees.

Today I picked up my new fruit trees (mostly heirloom apples and pears) but I can't plant them! The air quality here is too bad and I've been wheezy enough for the last few days. They're bare root, so I hope a delay of a day or two won't hurt them. 😧

The Canada-Ukraine Foundation is now raising funds for the Dzherelo Children’s Rehabilitation Centre in Lviv, Winnipeg-based Project Liubov-Love, which also assists children in Ukraine, and the Canada Ukraine Surgical Aid Program, among their other worthy projects www.cufoundation.ca/our-projects/

Turned on CNN just as Trump was talking about Elon Musk's tenure at DOGE. This convo happened with my mom (roughly translated from German). Mom: Who's standing beside him? Me: That's Elon Musk. Mom: He doesn't look quite normal. Me: ... He's probably drugged on Ketamine. Mom: What's Ketamine?

There is a new house of commons petition to strengthen Canadian national security, including security vetting for all candidates for party leadership and high office. Please sign and pass it on. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I am now embarking on my second attempt to make borscht. The first attempt was... OK, but not quite right. Wish me luck! 🍀

🤣🤣🤣

I just heard that several US states have increased their tourist tax. I get why a popular tourist destination would want a tax to offset the environmental impact of over-tourism. I just have to question the timing. Is over tourism in the US really a problem right now?

My mom just saw Hegseth on TV. The convo went something like this... Mom: Who's that? Me: The American Secretary of Defence. Mom: He looks like a Hitler Youth.

You know, for someone who's been billed as one of the much-despised "elites" by the opposition, Mark Carney seems to be a lot better at connecting with regular people than Poilievre is.

I don't imagine that I'm not the only one who isn't surprised by this news.

I just got back from voting! My timing was excellent. There was nobody ahead of me when I got there, but by the time I left, there was a lineup. They said Friday was VERY busy with the line going out the door.

Housing plans....vote wise!

Why has @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social cancelled a weekly election fact-checking segment? Is CTV afraid of facts now? #RachelGilmore #conservativelies #Poilievreisaweasel pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

I just learned a new word! "Boodler": a political grafter How many times can I use that word today, I wonder? Many, many times I bet.
