Seeing a lot of people on other sites say this is the first time they've seen so many Canadians on the same page since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and sharing the absolute banger that was its theme song. Here's the final montage from those 2 weeks. Chills, still. youtu.be/vX_dndXEGHI?...

Corporate lobbyists are wining-and-dining Pierre Poilievre at exclusive clubs where memberships cost $20,000. And how will the Conservatives return the favour? Cuts to your pension – so CEOs get even richer and you work even longer.

Why is Pierre Poilievre so nasty?

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

Day 20: Merida the Brave It's hard to believe its been a week now since we lost our little Merida. The pain is still raw, but each day brings a little more relief. This ornament will hold more meaning now that she is gone. #OrnamentoftheDay #Christmas #Ornament #Disney #Merida #BloodSweatandWheels

Day 15: Hitchhiking Ghosts Another ornament from one of our favorite Disney attractions, The Haunted Mansion. This one makes us laugh as it reminds us of when you end the ride, it tells you not to pick up any hitchhiking ghosts. #OrnamentoftheDay #Christmas #Ornament #Disney #BloodSweat&Wheels

Day 14: In Memory It's not the ornament I was expecting to post today. We lost Merida suddenly last night, and it has hit us hard, but we know she is now with Gimli again. This one is hard. #OrnamentoftheDay #Christmas #Ornament #SuddenLoss #Grief #CorgisofInstagram #BloodSweatandWheels

Day 9: Haunted Mansion It is one of the most iconic rides at the Disney theme parks. This ornament represents the one at Disneyworld in Florida and is a go-to for us anytime we visit the parks. #OrnamentoftheDay #Christmas #Ornament #HauntedMansion #Disney #BloodSweatandWheels

Day 7: Victorian Mickey and Mini The classic Victorian look has a style unto itself that has that Christmas Dickens inspiration to it. It's something we were instantly drawn to when we saw it. #OrnamentoftheDay #Christmas ##Ornament #Classic #Disney #BloodSweatandWheels

Day 6: Alaska @corgisandkms.bsky.social & I picked this ornament up when we did our Alaskan cruise back in 2018. What a spectacular place to visit. Nothing but breathtaking views and experiences. I highly recommend it. #OrnamentoftheDay #Alaska2018 #Christmas #Ornament #BloodSweatandWheels
