Jean Chretien recorded the opening announcement for 'no recording of the show'. 😆 He of course mentions he had 3 majority governments. 😂 Rick Mercer #StandUpForCanada

Going to see Rick Mercer tonight to get updated on my politics.

Weather update. October is feeling September-ish. I'm wearing pants and I'm not too hot. Bean is comfortable laying in the sun.

#TruthAndReconciliationDay 🧡

If you've never had to make calls in an effort to prevent yourself from being swatted, you may not appreciate how serious this is. Or if you've never been falsely arrested. Or maliciously prosecuted. That is some life-changing (threatening) shit.

new frontiers in qualified immunity open every day

It'd be really cool if we could have clean air in my kid's kindergarten. Is that asking too much?

Hmm. Vibrating rib area muscle. Feels better than cramped muscles.

Hello I am Hopi pink amaranth and I am gorgeous.

Americans: Beating their chests chanting USA USA USA, waving their flags whenever they have a chance, even drape themselves in it. But travel overseas and they hide behind the Canadian flag STOP flag-jacking our flag - you are NOT welcome to do so. #Canada #USA #Travel

Apparently not.

Because Canadians don't want to bow to Cons and serve them?

Just heard from my son, applying to grad schools, that the University of Washington has suspended all astrophysics grad admissions for next year; other universities to follow suit. Friends of mine in grad school admissions areas are telling me this will be commonplace soon in other areas. FFS

Ack. Fire alarm at the nursing home. I hope it's a drill.

Be kind to each other.

Orange Shirt Day, or National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, means more than just wearing a shirt. It means reflection, education, and action. For over 140 years, the Government of Canada legalized the kidnapping of Indigenous children for adoption into White families, or forced attendance…
