Yep.

Welcome to Canada, gents. Please enjoy some complimentary coffee and Timbits. Then, if you drive about 600 miles north and turn left at the Lethbridge sign, you'll find all our oil. Enjoy as much as you like, compliments of the Prime Minister of Battle River-Crowfoot! Mi tierra es tu tierra!

Pro tip for all international leaders: Pack a Go Bag today.

"... and it's not just a Peace Prize . . . it's made out of solid chocolate too!"

I still say building more highways will solve all this.

It's New Year's Eve so I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy 2028.

A few of my own new years rezzies: Stop using my neighbour's trampoline without permission Stop bragging about my air fryer wings at RIDE checks Stop parking on my neighbour Steve's front lawn Stop carrying emergency chicken nuggs in my pocket Stop pretending the gym's closed for renovations

It's true. Last time I went to the movies Carney charged me $15 for a small pack of Nibs.

Came up with some new years resolutions for other folks this year: Poilievre: Manage to cling to my cushy role as leader of the official yelly people Ford: Don't get caught doing so many scandals Smith: Find better hiding places for all data Carney: Try to get blamed less for provincial stuff

A little disappointed about not being appointed the Order of Canada, but receiving the FIFA Order of the Universe did help lessen the sting a little.

I don't ever remember taking the black and signing up for the Night's Watch but the pile of snow in front of my house is like 700 feet tall now.

This is longer than Doug Ford spent at Queens Park in 2025.

Fine. I'll admit it. With the weather we've had today, this kilt might've been a bad call.

Lede correction: Doug Ford's friends sue Ontario taxpayers for broken promises Doug made his friends to enrich Doug's friends.

Pierre Poilievre pictured yesterday travelling back in time to the middle ages to try to get people there to vote for him.

"On Dec. 2, HHS had 85 patients receiving care in beds that were not funded by the province — and could be in unconventional spaces like sunrooms, staff rooms, closets and hallways — while St. Joseph’s had 20." But, on the bright side, Ontario's got some of the best-trained exotic dancers around.

The snow here is now blowing up. I don't mean in an explosive way. More like a geyser does. Yes. That's it. There is a geyser of snow here.

Checks weather forecast for the remainder of 2025. Puts board shorts away. Sighs.

Got an unbelievably good deal on a Christmas tree today.

Ever notice that when there's a lot of wind we say it's windy? And when there's a lot of snow, it's snowy? When there's lots of ice - it's icy. So why, when it's very cold, do we never say it's coldy?

This is exactly the kind of fulsome, executable energy policy Canada needs.

Neighbour down the road's got a field bluff of 16-foot saplings all bent over at the middle, looking terribly sad, and ready to snap, for the weight of all the ice, and from now on we're going to call the road he lives on Poilievre 2025 Lane.

Dear Elon, Please direct all future letters of complaint about Alberta healthcare to the appropriate regional manager. Not yours, Canada

Got to thinking about 2026. Especially the CPC leadership review. Thinking there's quite possibly at least one more CPC MP who's unhappy with Poilievre. Thinking, if delegates elect him leader again, another CPC MP could cross the floor. Give the Liberals a majority. A real conundrum. For the CPC.

White House administration unveils designs for the world's first all-marble battleship.

Has anyone ever done a toilet made entirely of diamonds before? No? Not even Putin? Beautiful. Okay, let's go ahead and do the diamond toilets then. And what about the velvet toilet paper? Have you ordered the velvet toilet paper yet?

Just installed marble armrests in my car and they look suh-WHEET.

I don’t think anyone’s done a granite pillow or slate socks before either.

Looking forward to getting out to the stores today to see all the new Easter displays.

We now return to our regularly-scheduled programming.

Got so many flannel shirts this year I think just automatically became Pearl Jam’s new lead singer.

*I knew I should’ve stopped at that eighth cinnamon chocolate shortbread cookie he says to himself when he’s fourteen cookies in*

Got a big roaring Christmas morning fire going. Have the Mariah Carey Christmas album turned up to number 11. All my buddies are here having some Yule-time drinks. Swifty's even showing off his new leaf blower. Then my neighbour Steve comes out and starts yelling at us all to get off his front lawn.

I'm gonna need a bigger sock drawer now.

Went Christmas caroling with some friends tonight. Sang all the old caroling classics. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Jingle Bells. O Come, All Ye Faithful. It was lots of fun, and all going great, until my neighbour Steve starts yelling “Get the hell out of my bathroom! I’m trying to take a bath!”

Christmas wellness check time: Anybody shoot an eye out or lose all the Building & Loan's customers' money?

When I was a kid I once caught my mom kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe, but instead of telling my dad, I used it as leverage to get the pony I wanted.

Spoiling myself with a giant mug of hot chocolate and Kahlua, and now that I'm halfway through it I'm not even mad at myself anymore for forgetting to buy hot chocolate.

Wrapping all the gifts I got for my neighbour Steve and I'm really struggling because they're all such odd shapes so next year I'm going to be sure to ask him if he's got the original box they came in when I borrow any of his tools.

Pro tip. If you're out and about in your neighbourhood today and someone triple-dog-dares you to do something: Do. Not. Do. It.

Just about to head out and start my Christmas shopping. It'll be fine.

Temperatures in Yukon are in the -40s right now and I remember as a high school kid in Winnipeg how those kinds of temperatures would get us thinking about buttoning up our jean jackets.

this is insane to me. the doj had forever to look into this. now they're like liveblogging on x like they have no more information than a random person on social media
