Heather Cox Richardson, with her usual clarity, puts it plain and simple

Dear Dolly, the world keeps needing your sunshine and kindness

Things I am grateful for: no longer having Jan Gabarek & the Hilliard Ensemble omnipresent.

A British academic is doing a daily Trump Tracker of all the moves he and his regime are making as they attempt to take US democracy into autocracy. "This is a free resource, provided and maintained by Professor Christina Pagel in the UK and a few brilliant volunteers."

Next weekend it's Thanksgiving in Canada, and something that makes it extra-festive for me is using my Stephen Harper potato masher.

Here's where I donate to @natemook.bsky.social hachikofoundation.org

Hey that's cool

My favourite version of Barrett's Privateers, in true East Coast kitchen party style. Including Ryan's Fancy musicians Fergus O’Byrne, Dermot O’Reilly, and Denis Ryan, all Irish immigrants to Canada.

How it's going

#Caturday happy place

Hatepedia, a Canadian site, with a guide to online hate and hate symbols, including Canadian hate groups. Published in 2023, but just as relevant today. "Online hate takes many forms. Not all of them are obvious." hatepedia.ca

Happy #Caturday, to all, today and every day. It's six years since Leo decided to make this his home, from being a hungry little cat to the fine young man he is today.

Way 2 go, AB

Looks like the government of Canada has made some adjustments to its travel guidance to the United States:

The world lost a beautiful soul. Rest in peace fair lady. 💔💔

US folks, when you take your gov't back, consider what we do in Canada. If there's no agreement about the budget, the previous year's budget just continues automatically.

Canada here, and we have a message for trump & co.

Couldn't wait until #Caturday

Grandpa is still pushing his nonsense. We can do even better with avoiding travel, building new alliances & buying Canadian. So much so that even this delusional toddler feels it.

Tomorrow at 4pm I’ll host a livestream with my colleagues to discuss a government shutdown. We can’t allow Republicans to throw 15 million off health care & raise premiums by 75%.

Next move: shift the US from fascism to totalitarianism. In other words, Project 2025. And its co-author is firmly embedded in the White House.

In Quebec, they'll stop offering vaccinations to the general public, and start charging even more than in Alberta: "A dose will cost between $150 and $180 at a pharmacy" What the what.

Exactly this. They reject you, putin.

My See You Later Pollinator sock design, second iteration. Gotta love those 🐝

You’re safe wherever there aren’t guns. But guns are everywhere. You really should do something about that.

Here's some Canadian history told by our own @charlieangus104.bsky.social, who shows how we chose a path different than the USA's. And the price McGee, one of our Fathers of Confederation paid for it.

I didn't know the Dalai Lama was a punk, but he sums up our ethos perfectly. Have a punk day, y'all.

Happy #Caturday to all who celebrate.

In the 'hood

Well how 'bout that See how much you like it

Exactly this. Much more of this. And amplify it.

OK Bluesky hive mind - Blunnies: yea or nay? And how do they do on ice?

More of this. "The grassroots "Buy Canadian" campaign has fundamentally reshaped parts of the retail landscape with grocers scrapping some U.S. products entirely while adding dozens of domestic suppliers to fill the void."
