Being cis, maybe it's not my place to say... But I'm going to anyway. I am super disappointed in all the self-proclaimed allies that are using the recent Caitlyn Jenner drama as an excuse to run wild with misgendering and deadnaming her.

You know, he's got citizenship and I feel like he's been fully reprogrammed at this point, but how Canadian can my husband REALLY be, if he dislikes Log Driver's Waltz?

Nelly Furtado is such a goddess. Pisses me off that she got bullied out of the public eye. Glad to see her at the #junos!

Watching the #Junos, and just... Man, I love Mark Carney. Not in a weird, culty way, I just love his face. His JOY. What a world we'd live in, if more world leaders knew actual joy.

Just remembered that it's St Patrick's Day... Because the radio station is playing Pipe Dreamz (techno "Scotland the Brave") as part of their themed mix. Oh, and now Cotton Eyed Joe. Nothing says "driving the snakes outta Ireland" like a Swedish band parodying Americans.

Western countries routinely destabilize non-Western countries and then wonder why there are so many refugees

Yes, I'm crabby. Not thrilled with the way blocking works here. Blocked someone who felt the need to come at me with that nonsense, now getting inundated with other replies to her. I don't have the spoons for that shit.

I wish that "well meaning" Americans would understand just how sick many/most Canadians are of hearing "don't blame me/us/is just one man/the majority don't support this", etc. If you're going to randomly engage a Canadian in that vein, don't be surprised when we don't want to hear it. (Cont..)

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

So now that basically the whole country hates Wayne Gretzky, gotta ask: Did the new season of Shoresy ever turn around, after starting off with SO MUCH Gretzky worship? We'd been looking forward to the new season of #Shoresy, but that was so off-putting, we didn't end up watching past it.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Wayne Gretzky'$ fall from grace has been WILD to behold. If Canada can turn on "The Great, Once" (deservedly so!), I hope other hockey players know that none are immune.

You know what? IDFC anymore. Injecting bleach, horse dewormer pills, urine eye baths (?)... If people want to be idiots, let em. If incels want to disfigure themselves, hey ... Less time for them to be bothering women.

Love this idea! @mark-carney.bsky.social please make it happen!

I would love to see the Venn diagram of "Gets offended whenever anyone lumps non voters in when discussing the election" and "was honestly shocked that Trump got elected". Maybe a third circle for "Is going to be shocked when this doesn't end with the Big Beautiful Obituary".

Honestly worried about how much second hand embarrassment one can survive.

This is it, boys. This is war. I have about a million reasons to be glad I'm not American, but holy fucking shit... I'd be ashamed of my citizenship/heritage/country till the day I died, if our elected leader acted like this. Fuck the USA, fuck Trump, and fuck the US men's hockey team.

Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.

This Olympics ended up being pretty much all about the Americans being poor sportsmen. There was the skeleton racer that threw a fit and tried to have the Canadians sanctioned... Because she didn't do enough races to qualify, and was depending on the Canadians to do one they didn't need to.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist or anything, but that wasn't actually Trump on that locker room call with the US men's hockey team, was it? I thought it was a bit at first, that some comedian had convinced someone that they had the president on the phone. Then it zoomed out to Kash Patel?

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.   You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

Canada is the home of 55% of bald eagles. The only reason I thought the eagle was fitting to represent the US is because bald eagles are known kleptoparasits. They steal fish and prey from other birds who did the hard work of the hunting. Sounds like the Epstein and elite class in this shithole.

Catching up on the #Olympics #ClosingCeremonies ... YAY Gabry Ponte!!! Now I have it paused again till my husband comes out, lol

Fun fact: Bald Eagles are more likely to go after sick, dead or dying Canada geese (as well as babies and eggs), than they are to take on an adult. They also steal food and have such an embarrassing little bitch cry that pretty much any instance of an eagle screeching on TV is actually a hawk.

This is what needs to happen. Cancel the World Cup. Cancel the Olympics. Cancel your US vacations. Refuse to support this regime and refuse to endanger lives.

Fuck the USA.

This is why I laugh whenever someone says "Big Pharma" in the same breath as any talk about profits and supplements. "Big Pharma is all about the money and wants to keep you sick" *Plunks down $$$$ on supplements meant to be taken in perpetuity*

All of Canada for the last several months... At least

Well, fuck.

I don't usually give a shit about hockey, but after all those Americans carrying on about "51st State" over the women's hockey? No one has the spoons for how those Nazis are going to carry on. But hey, it might be their last Olympics for a while, if things are applied evenly (see: Russia).

Just realized that the couple figure skating to Macarena probably wasn't born yet when it came out, and now I'm feeling very old. #Olympics

While I'm ranting at the clouds, when did figure skates get so ugly, anyway? Edeas look clunky AF - especially with the white sole. Reminds me of when some people would wear white boot covers when their skates were beyond cleaning up. Don't get me started on the rhinestoned boots trend...

I have not watched any Olympics but I did catch a short clip today where the American bobsled team lost 3 of 4 bobsledders because they either could not get in or fell out and the only person left had to scoot to back of bobsled just to stop it from moving. That's America all right.

God, the American team exhibition figure skating is such a snooze fest. Team jacket, practice tights, super cobbled together music, and like no choreo - why bother? Not like it's the Olympics or anything. Also, I will never NOT find American use of "American Woman" *hilarious*.

Ok, the Mortal Kombat program at the Olympics figure skating gala is the cutest one I've seen in a while. Shame they didn't use the Traci Lords track, but I lived the little bouncing motion when setting up for a throw. I can't remember the last time I watched exhibition skating.

JFC I saw the first few words and thought the worst. 2026 is not taking Artie from us!

I knew that us Canadians were ✨next level✨ when it comes to boycotting, holding grudges, etc. ... But NOTHING could have prepared me for the way we all collectively turned on Gretzky over being a MAGAt. Do Americans see/understand how far #ElbowsUp is going to go? (Seriously, search "Gretzky"!)

I am irrationally annoyed at Slovakia right now.

What a cool idea!

I can't explain it (Figure skating synesthesia?), but Jam and Spoon's "Right in the Night" is a toe jumps song. Very specifically toe loops and flips, though. It's not a Lutz song. It's fun to re-examine this stuff as an adult figure skater, because now lyrics are allowed. Muahahah!

On this Day of Remembrance, I'm thinking about how when I was 14, my friend and I collected 120,313 paper cranes from all over the nation, one for every Japanese American interned during WWII. I remember wanting to "raise awareness so it wouldn't happen again." Well it's happening again.

A blunt reminder to document the truth while you can. Memories fade. Records don’t.

I think about James Earl Jones saying "Totes McGoats" at least as often.

My husband has now been in Canada long enough that he's recognizing a *PARKADE* he hasn't been in since 2020, on a show that he didn't even know was filmed locally. At this point, it would almost be safe to assume whatever we're watching is filmed locally, though.

Good News: A Major Scientific Milestone Just Dropped The same mRNA technology used in COVID vaccines is now helping the immune system fight triple-negative breast cancer. In a new study, 10 out of 14 patients remained relapse-free after nearly five years.

> butterfly in the sky heck yeah, nature is beautiful! > i can fly twice as high oh damn we're doing a diss track

Olympic athletes, some of whom are teenagers, are held to a higher level of expected maturity than the most powerful man in the world.

I was so not prepared for the monologue from The Handmaid's Tale to open a freeskate program. You know, the one talking about being prevented from unaliving themselves. Daaaamn. Figure skating has changed! Kinda wish it had been an American figure skater!
