No, they're not thugs. Perfect gentlemen. Right.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

You must be kidding.

As tomorrow will begin a tedious year of Revolutionary War celebrations,it is worth noting that two of the early battles were invasions of Canada: Battle of Montreal,September 1775,and Battle of Quebec,December 1775. Both defeats. But it never ends. Neighbours, not friends.

This morning I had to have Jinx, my house panther, euthanized.He was only 17.He was a lover and trickster who liked to prove that he was smarter and faster than I.He hid the sarcoma that was destroying his lower mandible. Black cats absorb light so that they shine brighter for their loved ones.

Trying to wade through the big, beautiful bill, but I can't find the section on taxation of foreign workers sending money home. HELP11

So Verizon has proved that it keep being an old white guys company so that the US government would approve its purchase of Frontier. Another victory for the old white guys. OWG is the new DEI.

So when are we going to see someone charged for the fraud at SSA? Until I see that, I think that Musk is lying, or too biased to understand why someone might change their account number. Show us the facts Musk.

PLEASE, SOMEONE, a straightforward answer. Are Canada's tariffs: 25% on steel, aluminum, autos 10% on everything else Or ... What?

Wherein Alberta premier Danielle Smith says that she attempted to influence the US administration to hold off on tariffs to give Pierre Poilievre the best chance at winning the upcoming election... Because he'll align Canada with Trump the most. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Trump is just playing with you Canada/Mexico. He is manipulating the stock market and keeping himself the center of attention. Ignore him everybody and stay the course.

Haskell Free Library should be closed for border violations.

Where was the CBSA today when Kristi Noem repeatedly violated Canada's border, calling Canada the 51st state?

Time for Canada to follow Barbados and leave the Commonwealth of Nations and its colonial past.

Sir Keir Starmer should be forced to clarify if his special relationship with the US means that he will throw Canada to the wolves, Commonwealth be damned. Come on UK press, stand up.

I felt really uncomfortable hearing him say this. Share this far and wide, we won’t stay silent!

Why is the NTSB going to Toronto? The Canadian officials can handle the investigation. Stay the hell out of Canada.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

I'm disappointed that none of the very funny bluesky posters have pointed out the similarity between Musk's salute and the brilliant Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove. Come on guys.

Tom Homan is such a zealot it is hard to believe him. Is there any way to find out how many of the the 318 ICE arrests yesterday were "murderers and child rapists"?

OMG. Mike Johnson looked just like a bobble head doll. #Inauguration.

Love how Danielle Smith kisses the ring at Mar a Lago. Then comes back and tells Canada there's nothing it can do. Basically, close your eyes and think of England.

I left Twitter/X quickly and with few regrets. Unfortunately Threads has much superior cats, pets in general, and more cat posts than Bluesky, so I can't leave it, disgusted though I am by Zuck's recent decisions. Damn.

Serious question here: What happens if a NATO member country attacks another NATO country with the intent of occupying its territory?

After all my years here, I'm still amused and fascinated by how performative the House and Senate voting processes are.

Less than 3 hours left for two critical votes, and the Senate is letting a feeble version of Mr Smith goes to Washington to use up the time. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would suspect that this was always the plan to kill HR 82.

So give it 24 hours and sure enough the ignorant, US op ed writers start talking about how it would benefit Canada. Just fuck off. Canada doesn't want your lousy education system, your firearms, your drug problems or "exceptionalism". Canada's health system already has innovation.

Made the mistake of seeing the news again. Illegal immigration from Canada to the US is only .6% of illegal immigration. There is an agreement where the immigrants can be sent back. Also only 48 lbs of fentanyl have been caught smuggled through Canada, compared to over 20,000 lbs from Mexico.

So Trump has made his first move to destroy Canada's economy, claiming that it hasn't stopped thousands of illegal immigrants and illegal drugs from entering the US. 25% tariff on all goods.

Riley Gaines and Fox News are now taking on the green card application process. Such a princess. the process is not onerous, just meticulous as it should be. I know. I have one.
