Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed he'll protect Canada's supply management system, as the United States signalled it's ready to fight over this country's dairy rules at the negotiating table. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So good

Notice: Dallas Road closure between Memorial Cresent and St. Charles Street 🚧 Crews are monitoring the storm surge and will implement sidewalk and road closures as required 🚩 Please follow signage and exercise caution in the area #yyjtraffic

The idea of going to a country that scoops off people off the street, kidnap some, renders them to foreign countries, all without due process and is now asking for visitors to provide blood samples and access to social media means that I will not be going back to the United States.

Seth Rogen has resurrected the Muppet Show. February. 🥹

Not a hard decision for me. 🤷‍♀️

The City of Abbotsford has now lifted all remaining evacuation orders and alerts. "As the floodwater has receded and the BC River Forecast Centre has downgraded the Sumas River from Flood Warning to High Stream Flow Advisory, all residents in Sumas Prairie can safely return to their properties."

"Hey Canadian! You want some snow-covered mountains and an extra shitty beer?" Yeah, thanks, no. You guys really *don't* understand us at all, do you?

Police in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia are warning the public to be on the lookout after two alleged abduction attempts within 24 hours.

"As Australia began enforcing a world-first social media ban for children under 16 years old this week, Denmark is planning to follow its lead and severely restrict social media access for young people." abcnews.go.com/Technology/w...

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

BONUS - In honor of Rob Reiner 😢 For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM Watch (or Rewatch) "The Princess Bride" (1987) - Dir. Rob Reiner This iconic scene starring Reiner's best friend Billy Crystal. ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFJ2...

I noticed this neat little illustration of pick-up truck bloat on my dog walk this morning. These are both Ford Rangers.

I feel lucky to have been alive and a movie fan for when Rob Reiner was doing all of his best work.

His warning takes on even greater urgency today.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

Inconceivable. RIP Rob Reiner. Thank you for all of your wonderful films. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Buckle up Dem establishment, because me and my maximum wage tied to the minimum wage proposal are coming for your asses

Rob Reiner not only energized the sitcom form, perfected the mockumentary genre, and delivered a stone-cold family classic in THE PRINCESS BRIDE (plus STAND BY ME, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, A FEW GOOD MEN, MISERY), but he was *also* the funniest cast member in THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, no mean feat. RIP.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

This entire weekend

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

#RobReiner the Reiner family has issued a statement following the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, in their Los Angeles home: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner.” 💔 the deaths are being investigated as homocide.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

If YOU want to help someone with dog walking in Canada, the ElderDog.ca Organization is fantastic. You get paired (your choice of dog proximity, timing, etc) with a dog who needs walking and it helps people with mobility issues or health challenges continue owning their beloved pet buddies.

This is insane.

Just finished decorating our Christmas tree. It’s a fresh one harvested from a tree farm in Chilliwack, and the pine scent is so beautiful. John Denver and the Muppets “A Christmas Together” album playing in the background - best Christmas album ever! Ready for Christmas now 🎄

So the storm system landing tomorrow is officially classified as having the potential to reach a level 4 atmospheric river. The worst it gets is level 5. The likelihood of increased flooding is VERY high. Wind will be very strong too. I think the worst of it hits on Tuesday.

This infrastructure includes telecoms stuff. In 2021, the Interior nearly lost all wireless Internet and 9-1-1 coverage.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

I wrote letters to Santa at this address. I guess it was fairly new then. Best address ever. :)
