Like there is the patriotic argument (“I’m not vacationing in a country whose president wants to annex Canada”) and there’s the principled argument (“I’m not supporting a fascist government with my consumer dollars”) But then there is also the “not getting shot by ICE’s stray bullets” argument

Just introduced my nephew to ET. (We wanted to show him Gremlins but couldn’t find it). Happy nostalgic Xmas Eve!

There was an 8 ender at our curling club tonight! Pretty neat to be there for such a rare event 🥌

FIFA Peace Prize 🤮

Team Black is pure class. They struggled today but should be so proud of the week they had. Bodes well for a great run at the Scotties!

Oh man that was close! So wanted to see Gushue pull that one out but this is making for exciting times over then next few days…

@devinheroux.bsky.social how do team colours get chosen? Do teams have a say?

Gushue at 94%! Love to see it!

I’m trying hard to like Team Dunstone, there’s no doubt they’re playing great and could very well be headed to the Olympics. It’s just, something about the Manitoba tuck bugs me?

Time for a Barger Banger!

Oh, THAT’S why Bo is playing #WANTITALL

LET’S GO JAYS

Change one letter, ruin a candy Swedish Fist

Change one letter, ruin a candy Terds

So the Jays aren’t going to the SuperBowl :(

My brother lost his wife 1 year ago today. This, from a long post of reflection, sticks out for me. “The world is loud, cold, and chaotic, especially these days. But it’s the compassion and kindness we show each other is where our strength to persevere comes from” Let’s all be the light, etc. ❤️

I do not understand the rules of Rugby… but glued to it anyway. Go Canada! 🇨🇦

When you’re tired, but also fancy.

Line-dried sheets are the absolute best.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

First Hodge Podge feed of the season - awwww yeah! #NovaScotia

Post an unusual sign if you feel like it.

Happy Caturday!

Just bought my first pair of reading glasses. Does that make me an Old, now?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I gave myself the WORST paper cut today. Taking the plastic off a calendar by running my index finger across the open end, like an absolute idiot, and got a paper cut under my fingernail. So dumb and stupidly painful.

Huh, I did not know about this!

Great interview with Sean Fraser just now. He is a class act and I’m just thrilled that he’ll be back in the House. I’ve known him for about 20 years and always thought he’d be PM some day, and I still think so.

I really want to go to bed, but I can only half exhale…. Still hoping for majority 😬

PHEW! Still hoping for majority but this is a HUGE sigh of relief

Eating lots of (Covered Bridge) chips to hopefully avoid a wine hangover (lol)

I wasn’t concerned about Kody Blois being re-elected - but congrats all the same! He’s a great rep for Kings Hants.

I’m stressed. My cat, not so much

Wine bottle 2 opened #TomorrowMeHatesNowMe

It was tied for a minute and I think I stopped breathing. Yikes!

Co-signed! PS - come visit Nova Scotia. It’s awesome!

1st elected is a Liberal! Small, tentative exhale.

What’s going on in NFLD? Looking too blue for my comfort level (I know it’s early but…) 😬

Glass of wine #3. I’ll have to just start counting bottle soon

Polls haven’t started to close yet and I’m on glass of wine #2 😬 could be a rough day tomorrow #cdnpoli #canadavotes

Let’s do this Carleton!

I don't know how anyone can look at what's going on in the US and think ANY of that should come to Canada. #ElbowsUp

I found myself muttering "jesus christ" multiple times while reading this. BIG dose of yikes is right. VOTE!

Really interesting article… think I’ll read Gatsby again. 3rd time I think?

I absolutely love every part of this. @devinheroux.bsky.social is my fav sports journalist! “Heroux will continue to play a key role in CBC Sports’ coverage, sharing stories of Canadian and international athletes at the biggest athletic competitions, including the Winter and Summer Olympic Games.”

Brilliant

Cat on the lap and curling on the teevee 😸

REALLY happy to see that Sean Fraser is running again in Central Nova. His voice would be sorely missed in the house, and he's an all-around great guy! Welcome back, Sean!
