Looks like the purge of LGBTQ2S people in America has begun. (those with any knowledge of world history were expecting this stage)

Just this morning my husband presented me with the "shortbread" recipe from a coworker that contained confectionery sugar and cornstarch. Needless to say, I'm single again.

Pierre Poilievre confirming that the Cons are the party of law and order. As in, just follow orders and to hell with the law. International, domestic, whatever.

The best part about installing a new Canadian winter friendly "heat pump", and configuring your gas furnace as "auxiliary heat" only when the temperature drops below -15C, is when the "auxiliary heat" actually kicks in, you know NOT TO FECKIN GO OUTSIDE!

I hope this isn't a repeat of the "Great Ice Storm of 1998", which lasted for 6 days. THAT time we were in a condo and hosted hot shower and pizza parties for our friends without power. THIS time we're in a century home with questionable power at best. We'll see... globalnews.ca/news/1159176...

Make the Yuletide Gay, my friends! (seriously - even straight people deserve tinsel in their lives) Happy Holidays to all who celebrate this time of year, no matter what you call it. Hope you are surrounded by family, friends, and food - not necessarily in that order.

One wonders if Global TV would have aired this if PP was our PM... Go Canadian media! 🇨🇦

And THAT, gentle reader, is why she's a legend.

Lest you think I am not committed, I will be wearing full rain gear underneath the "Reindeer Onesie" for my crossing guard shifts today because, despite the fact that it is pouring rain before turning to ice and snow, the kids reminded me that TODAY is "Pajama Day" (last day before Xmas).

Only 20?! C'mon Canada. We can do better than that!

Happy 30th Anniversary to my husband, my partner, my voice of reason, my shoulder to cry on, and the man that has been putting up with my version of crazy for 3 decades. As a gay kid in the 70's, I never imagined reaching this milestone - and having the legal documents to prove it. Love wins! 😘

Truth.

The best part of being a crossing guard is being able to dress up as seasonal characters to entertain the children...

Well, that's my holiday shopping list sorted... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch7z...

And yet Air Canada won't let you bring a carry-on unless it fits under the seat in front of you...

Say what you want about the Canadian government, but I highly doubt we will ever descend to the level where OUR government says "womp womp" and calls Canadian citizens "imbecilic morons" in an official social media post.

In case anyone is unclear about whose "nation" we'll be building if taxpayers fund a new pipeline...

🔥🔥🔥

Ever read online product reviews and realize that we are doomed as a species? Millions of years of evolution, and "Doris" from Pickering is upset that her "auto-shutoff" electric kettle turns itself off when it boils. (Actual review on Canadian Tire website)

And for the record, there never WERE any "snakes" in Ireland.

Major life milestone. Just opened the LAST package of toilet paper that we stockpiled during the pandemic. And JUST in time to start doomsday prepping for the next American "election"...

Pierre Poilievre would do well to notice that his own entirely legal and fully Canadian immigrant wife will eventually be a political liability to his hard right wing base.

Still planning that snowbird vacation this winter?

Oops. Dang share button...

I would love to see the stats that Ford is using to suggest that "alternatives" are equally effective. From my own observation, traffic calming measures...don't, speed humps are a launch ramp, digital readouts are a challenge to beat your high score, and pedestrian crosswalks are "optional".

Before giving any credence to Pierre Poilievre's attacks on Mark Carney for being an academic elitist with no understanding of the "common people", a reminder: The "trickledown economics" theory was heavily employed by Stephen Harper. Pierre Poilievre is championing its return.

Looks like the queens were out in full force at the "No Kings" rallies! (don't piss off the queers, dear)

Well, it's not like Ontarians need housing or healthcare or anything...

About time my people thanked the Supreme Court for legalizing "gay marriage" by giving them a makeover...

Doug Ford does that all the time on education and healthcare spending...

Doug Ford: "Hold my buck-a-beer, I'LL put a stop to this!"

To be fair, that's only for 10 months a year. Some parts of Canada are generally ice free in July and August. (pretty sure that photo is Portage Avenue in mid-September)

Just a reminder that Poilievre, and EVERY SINGLE OTHER CONSERVATIVE MP at the time voted AGAINST a proposed ban on "conversion therapy" in Canada.

In case you have these two on your Doug Ford's Developer Buddies Bingo card...

Well, THAT would certainly be a reason not to apply for a security clearance...

And I look forward to welcoming new Canadians Mary E. Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell during the Canada Day celebrations on July 1, 2026! 🇨🇦

Another fine example of political theatre brought to you by Pierre Poilievre and his band of political agitators. Lucky we're not paying for it. Oh wait...

Never too early to dress up for Halloween, I say...

If you need a Halloween-ish escape from all the doom scrolling, this is definitely worth a watch (it's part of our annual tradition). Sure, much of the CGI animation is "old school", but it's not without its charm (kinda like me)!

As long as I STILL get to dress as Ursula for Halloween...

And he's publicly executed shortly afterwards? I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist, but...

And yesterday Doug Ford announced that he intends to ban camera radar, because the roads belong to cars. Cyclists, pedestrians, and any measures to protect their safety that cause inconvenience for drivers, will no longer be tolerated. You have been warned.

Remember that photo of Danielle Smith enjoying cocktails with Kevin O'Leary and Donald Trump at Mar-a-Pedo? My grandmother always did say that you ARE the company you keep...

Perhaps Pierre Poilievre, and his provincial cohorts (I'm looking at YOU Danielle Smith), should give this guy a listen. Maybe we should trust a NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING ECONOMIST when he suggests that Maple-MAGA would NOT be the best approach for Canadians. But we're not trusting "the experts" now...

Yup, I would have so much more respect for Pierre Poilievre if he always opened with this...

THIS is how to treat the President of an ally under attack by a warmongering dictatorship.

Congratulations, Alberta! At least you're consistently on the wrong side of history.

For the record, I DID say that all of those military vehicles rolling into D.C. for Donnie's birthday bash would end up in an American version of Tiananmen Square...

Only in Canada would THIS be a "Back to School" promotion. (Because Canadians know that winter is coming. Soon. Very, very soon)

Stunning! In America, its windows would be regularly riddled with bullets for "pushing WOKE ideology".
