The Tumbler Ridge shooting is an unspeakable tragedy and is the result of the lack of mental health support and treatment. Families of mental health sufferers are left to cope, alone, with at best, piecemeal, bandaid care. The inadequate care becomes the tragedy of multiple other innocents.

Hey, did you watch the Bad Bunny half-time show? Tell me, how do dancers manage to move their bums the way they did? It was fascinating to watch! I must remain strong and not try - I would seriously injure myself!

The US Olympians who are speaking out regarding the current US crisis are heroes. Not only do they demonstrate loyalty, sportsmanship, focus, dedication, and sacrifice to their sport, they also demonstrate courage, character and commitment to the principles that once made the US a world leader.

Good memories from my US childhood. Bad ones too - like a delegation of neighbours visiting my mom to tell her she could not allow 5 year old me to play with the 5 year old daughter of our lawn maintenance company owner. Or that African Americans were not allowed to use chilled water fountains.

Congratulations Francesca Lollobrigida! An amazing athletic achievement but also an incredible accomplishment as a woman and mother! It also required reliable support and resources. Sadly, many women (and men) lack the support to achieve full potential. They are heroes anyway and need to know it.

Trump, his administration and his supporters not only owe apologies to the Obamas, but to the US and humanity. His blatant racism is embarrassing, humiliating the US globally and encouraging other racists to act on their baser instincts. Can’t believe lawmakers allow this behaviour to continue.

Trump is so brain dead and so pathologically broken that he does not realize that stunts like his trying to humiliate the Obamas only serve to increase their standing and public acclaim everywhere.

Scott Bessent is a Trump minion. His words have no credibility; his relationship with truth is non-existent.

agree

Trump falsely stated that Nato allies have never done anything to help the US, despite the fact that forces from Nato countries were quick to deploy to Afghanistan after 9/11. He also neglected to mention that 4 Canadian soldiers were killed, and 18 injured, by American friendly fire in April 2002.

I am a proud Canadian. A dual citizen, I was also proud of my US heritage. My memories are painted with wonderful, caring Americans who showed kindness, caring and friendship. The border did not represent a division to me. I deplore the US manipulations being used to make enemies of friends.

I am sad for America and its fine, caring citizens. The USA, previously respected by so many worldwide, is being reduced to a rogue nation, a laughing stock, yet also a nation to be feared due to its erratic, uninformed leadership, lust for irrational retribution, and seeming paralysis of lawmakers.

I am so proud on PM Mark Carney and proud to be Canadian!

Watching excerpts from Trump’s Davos performance. It is hard to believe that is the sperm that won.

Thank you Prime Minister Carney! You clearly got under Trump’s skin. Hooray! We stand fully with you, your comments and actions!

I was a Trudeaus supporter for many years, although I felt Justin exceeded his “best before” date. But my opinion of both has crashed due to their tasteless publicity seeking - Justin with Katy Perry and Sophie with Canadian Geographic ads that include multiple images of her. Really kids! Grow up!

Earlier today I posted about “Steve Crowe” as being responsible for the murder of Nicole Good. It seems that information was incorrect - the killer has since been identified as Jonathan Ross. I apologize for circulating incorrect info and to anyone named Steve Crowe who was wrongly identified.

Steve Crowe. Why is this man not already behind bars? He is entitled to a fair trial but must be charged and jailed awaiting trial. Likewise for Noem, Trump and anyone else trying to hide the truth.

#Ontario will hold firm on U.S. booze ban at LCBO, says finance minister It’s a move the government stands by, he says. Asked if full removal of the tariffs was the only condition that would see a U.S. booze boycott lifted in Ontario, he said yes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Day 3 of 2026 and our world just got much darker.

Well, Christmas is over for most of us and it’s time to move on. For the year ahead, my dog and I wish for more peace and kindness in our world and for all of our Bluesky friends.

Santa Claus is now authorized to make his deliveries in Canada 🇨🇦 I showed this video to my 8 year old son and he is pumped 😂 🎄🎅🏼🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🎄🎅🏼 🎄🎅🏼 🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🎄🎅🏼

I miss being able to paint! I paint standing up but can’t stand for longer than 10 minutes now. Somehow, I need to figure this out.

Drag him.

Yesterday I posted about Voila (Sobey’s) inclusion of non-Canadian produce in its “Shop Canada” section. I notified Voila of the error and requested corrections. This morning, the corrections have not been made so I have filed a product labelling complaint with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The Canadian boycott of US products/services is in response to US disrespect/threats to our sovereignty - not tariffs. The boycott continues, despite attempts to convince us otherwise. So, I am appalled by Voila‘s inclusion of US produce in its “Shop Canada” section. Don’t push your luck, Sobey’s!

Pigs are nice animals - loving, intelligent, gentle and clean. When people use the word, “pig” or “piggy” as an insult, they are revealing their lack of knowledge. But why would anyone be surprised by Trump’s lack of knowledge?

Bravo @chapmans.ca !! Well deserved!! A true Canadian company! And this is on top of the other awards Chapmans Ice Cream have won this year! Time to reorder my two favourites…Super Premium Butter Tart and Super Premium Cookie Dough Ice Cream! So good! www.ctvnews.ca/barrie/artic...

Flora Terah Igoki 🇨🇦💙 Blue Jays didn’t lose last night — Canada won. Because what the world saw wasn’t just a game. It was unity, fairness, and heart. We hosted them, we played clean, and we cheered loud.

Well, Mr. Snell, you say the Blue Jays’ 6-1 win over the Dodgers was due to ”bad luck” for you and the Dodgers. I suggest you practice developing some grace, professionalism and sportsmanship. Go Jays, go!

I support Ford’s anti-tariff ad. Trump‘s stated goal is to use economic force to bring Canada to its knees. Nothing Trump has said is reliable. What is reliable are the lies, divisiveness, and confusion. Trump jumped on the ad as his next “excuse” for attacking Canada. Do not let it work!

@meidascanada.ca Tired of tariffs? Here’s how Canadians can make a real impact — with our wallets. Skip the U.S. vehicles. Choose Canadian-built. 🇨🇦 The first digit in the VIN on your car tells you where it was made: 🇨🇦 2 = Canada ✅ ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ 3,J,K,W,Y,V,Z,S,L Not USA ✅ 🇺🇸 1, 4, 5 = U.S. ❌

This is the Ontario ad that pissed the Russian fascist off down south in the US causing him to break trade negotiations with Canada. Don't share it! 🤣 #cdnpoli

bsky.app/profile/kras... ⚠️ALERT ⚠️Letitia James is handing a way for #PowerOF_ThePeople to take proactive responses to ICE Ajents eo break the law. We care so let's share. #BEthe_changemakers #Melt_ICE

Thank you Blue Jays!! Canadians really needed this!

Do you think that breaking the boycott will make you welcome in the United States? Think again. Finger printed, photographed and vehicles thoroughly searched. You better hope you don't have a conviction for smoking marijuana when you were 18. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Returning Canadian Snowbirds are experiencing new US regulations for visitors staying more than 30 days - being fingerprinted, photographed, and paying a $30 fee. Some are “insulted”. Perhaps you should join fellow Canadians and support the boycott of US travel and products. Elbows up!

I have struggled with sinus node dysfunction for 20 years. The last couple of months have been very difficult. I have been trying to prioritize what little energy I have. So, I have stopped struggling to make the bed each morning. Guess what? The world has not ended; nor has the health unit called.

”Bruised feelings”? Hardly! CNN writer, Matt Egan, asserts that “bruised feelings” are behind the Canadian boycott of US products/destinations and that US businesses are “victims”. Threatening the sovereignty of any country is aggression, plain and simple. How would you expect Canada to react?

Idaho is not far from Canada. As a Canadian, I am concerned about a Quatari military base being established in Idaho. I am also very concerned about sharing security and defense with a country that invites non-allies to establish military bases within its borders.

Love watching our Blue Jays work towards a World Series win. But I was disgusted by the huge numbers of Yankees’ fans who left long before game end. Huge disrespect and callousness towards their team and a total lack of sportsmanship. Looking forward to next games. Hoping all fans show more class.

I am so glad my dog does not discuss politics, world affairs or the state of the economy. We only discuss important things like which shrub to pee under, why he can’t have all the treats he wants, what time to get up in the morning and how much bed space/blankets he needs.

Poor Pete Hoesktra is “disappointed he came to Canada”. Guess what, Pete? So are Canadians!

It’s infuriating that Canadian grocery stores are depriving us of fresh, in-season Canadian produce. Yesterday, our local Freshco (Empire Foods/Sobeys) offered ONLY US carrots, peaches, celery, plums, cherries. We are supporting Canadian business; they should be supporting us!

Must say, my respect for the royal family has gone up in past months. King Charles has shown overt support for Canada in our struggles with the US and now we read that Princess Catherine and Queen Camilla are being pushed into entertaining Melania - all to try to pacify you know who.

Canadians: As a disabled senior, I use Voila (Sobey’s/Empire Foods) for grocery shopping/delivery. For months, I went without US produce. Now, in the peak of fresh Canadian produce season, Voila is still offering many items only from the US, despite Canadian product availability. Shame on Voila!!
