#cdnpoli I've been in hospital for a while. Canada is a bilingual country. I find myself instinctively recoiling from the pepper packets when the French side is up. the French word for pepper is "poivre," which looks an awful lot like "Poilievre."

Charlie Kirk = Horst Wessel Read some history.

A couple of decades ago I worked with a woman who was a stenographer. She worked as a court reporter until the government found a way to replace her with a computer. You don't see a lot of working stenographers anymore, unless they're working for the media, especially Conservative media.

A Christian commentator wrote that people seem to consider God to be their own personal "make a wish foundation" when they prayed. Americans who voted for Trump and who get upset with something he does or has done seem to be of the same mindset when they say, "I didn't vote for that."

Please, why won't the rest of the world come visit America and spend its money on our tourist attractions.

I watched a clip of Kevin Hassett, a Trump official, trying to justify a 50% tariff on Brazil. Throughout the interview, Hassett kept saying it was all part of Trump's efforts to bring in a "golden age" for America. He smiled the whole time. I remember now why I distrust people who smile too much.

How to look like Laura Loomer without getting plastic surgery.

Some tech humour from X:

American politicians have written to the government of Canada, asking if we can do something about wildfire smoke drifting South. Won't be long before Canada can complain to the US about the smoke coming from mass cremation of detainees.

When the best smile you can manage is one that says, "I really have pee but I'm stuck here with you."

I regret to say that, in my last post, I used "it's" when I should have used "its." Fortunately, I haven't yet used "less" when I should have used "fewer." The war against illiteracy requires eternal vigilance.

The Americans are asking Canada to please stop letting it's wildfire smoke from drifting South.

The term "moral injury" refers to being forced to witness or participate in actions that are morally offensive to you. Any Americans experiencing this or are you good with what's happening? I suspect that a majority, 69%, are just fine with what's going on. I'm not so sure about the rest.

#murderclowns The tragedy in Texas is your government in action, America. I'm waiting to see how Joe Biden was responsible. Perhaps Jake Tapper can get another book out of it.

An independent journalist who covers Canadian politics named Dale Smith coined the term "murder clowns" to describe provincial premiers whose inadequate handling of Covid led to deaths. I can't think of a better term to describe the Trump administration and all its enablers: murder clowns.

A few unpleasant truths about Evangelical Christianity. Trigger warning for Americans: This woman appears to be a brown person and speaks with a Spanish accent. /s

#cdnpoli With a few changes, this website could apply to Pierre Poilievre:

Breaking news: Nazis say that they're not too sure if that Hitler guy is up to any good.

I'm kind of agnostic about whether there is an Afterlife. Nonetheless, I try to be kind (to non-MAGAts) and a decent person. The idea of spending eternity in Hell scares me, mainly because I would be spending it with Republicans and Conservatives from all over the world.

This is my 4th of July message to American resisters. We are in very dark times and it is going to get darker. But we must take back democracy and the rule of law at the grassroots and in the streets. We need to support each other across the border. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS2G...

I'm a Canadian who works in healthcare. I'm not a doctor, nurse, or lab tech, but I do have access to people's health records, something I check before dealing with a crisis in Emergency. It hit me today that, no matter how marginalized a person is, they get healthcare. We don't want to lose this.

Charlie Kirk appears to have worms in his anus and RFK Jr has a worm in his brain. America! What a country!

I'm imagining an increasingly plausible scenario: Smoke from forest fires in Canada will compete with smoke from the cremation of those killed by ICE for our attention. The cause of both? Unrestrained capitalism.

To all Americans celebrating the 4th of July, I'd just like to say: "Happy National Day of Mourning for your country."

Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" sung in Cree. It's ironic that they are singing about the Vikings coming to North America. They are literally singing about immigrants.

If 17 million people get cut off from Medicare, a significant proportion of them will die from preventable causes. It's hard to guess what percentage will die prematurely, but even one third—5 million+ — will put Trump and the Republicans up there with Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot.

I miss Canada before Donald Trump arrived on the political scene. He gave every racist, misogynist shithead permission to say the quiet part out loud. Donald Trump led to the Convoy in Ottawa and inspired Pierre Poilievre to be a mini-Trump. It's nice to not have to listen to Poilievre, at least.

Hey, America, just remember that the Nazis also made certain figures "honourary" SS officers.

Americans whining about the victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York and how it might lead to sharia law are ignoring the fact that the Christian Nationalists behind the Trump administration are putting in their own version of sharia law into effect all across the U.S.

Charlie Kirk, noted culture warrior who "live[s] like a capitalist every day," has a complaint about his phone. It seems to promote the gay agenda with the colours it uses to graph his storage use. Note that the app "Grindr" seems to take up a lot of storage space.

#cdnpoli Pierre Poilievre wants you to marvel at the size of his…parade?

#cdnpoli People on the left are complaining about what they consider to be PM Carney's lacklustre response to the Israel/Iran war. Here's a thought for you: Canada specifically voted for a party and a leader who won't go off "half-cocked" every time an event happens. That's why we didn't vote CPC.

American governors are trying to convince Canadians to travel to their states. "We love you," the governors have said. Here are some of the welcoming ambassadors Canadians will face travelling down there:

Advice for any Iranian sleeper cells lying dormant in the U.S.: You can dress up in combat gear, wear a mask, and claim that you are working for ICE and you will be able to terrorize people with impunity. America, fuck yeah! /s

It's time for Jake Tapper to explain why Joe Biden bombed Iran like he just did. Maybe he might get a book out of it. /s

A reminder to all Americans to keep your heads down lest you be hit by incoming strongly worded letters from the Democrats to the Republicans. Paper cuts can be so annoying.

It's okay, America. You will be greeted as liberators in Iran, just like you were in Iraq. People will shower your troops with roses. /s

Here's a tip for Americans who are struggling to live in the post-apocalyptic world that Trump has led them into: copies of Jake Tapper's book on Biden make excellent kindling if you need to start a fire. You don't need to worry about competition from MAGAts; they don't read.

Hi there, Prime Minister Carney. Remember when Jean Chretien didn't want to get involved in the Iraq war? This would be another good time to say "no" to the Americans. The entire United States is not worth the bones of even one Canadian infantry man or woman, to paraphrase Bismarck.

So, what's the next tallest building in New York after the World Trade Centre? Just curious. Asking because a nation of 92 million people probably has developed an interest in this question also.

Could we all fast-forward to the end of the movie, where Donald Trump, trapped in an underground bunker amidst the rubble of Washington, DC, does the inevitable…

Cheer up, everybody. We're going to get the inside scoop on World War III from Pete Hegseth on Signal. We'll be so damned informed, it may literally kill us.

I'm so excited! I get to witness the Rapture! I get to live in a real-life "Left Behind" scenario. Thank you, Donald, for making it happen! /s

Remember, God, however disappointed you are in the human race, Donald Trump said he loves you.

I suppose all the American Evangelicals are getting all excited about the upcoming Rapture.

Time for a bit of nostalgia: Anyone remember what the word "yellowcake" led to?

Somehow, this post reminds me of Tom Waits' song, "The Piano Has Been Drinking."

Hey, America. Project 2025 talks about reinstating the draft. Now that Trump has bombed Iran, it's time for you all to run to your podiatrists and get a letter saying you have bone spurs. Just in case.

Can someone please put the New York Times out of its misery? It's time for the "Old Yeller" treatment, behind the barn.
