I like museums and Canadian history. Winnipeg is the best city in Canada and Algonquin Park is much better in the off-season.

This is going to be the most cynical war ever.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Canada cannot participate in the Iran war.

Ok, it’s settled. Britain is the world’s biggest US suck-up. Jesus, Starmer, the option to stfu was right there. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Here is the dirty secret no one is speaking out loud: Trump does not believe that bombing the hell out of Iran is going to send Iran back to the negotiation table, nor has anyone in his inner circle suggested to him that outcome. He fully knows he has entered America into a war.

Not sure why I need to continue repeating this. Rule of law? Dead. Rights? Gone. Executive power? Entirely unchecked by Congress, subject to a judiciary with a corrupt top court. State sanctioned kidnappings and renditions. What democracy?

Besides everything else... this is an escalation of presidential powers; the attack is not covered by even a loose reading of the Authorization of Military Force after 911. Trump is truly a king.

It’s not just that the President of the United States has announced on social media that the US has bombed Iran, it’s that the President of the United States bombed Iran so that he could announce it on social media.

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

*sigh* No, she can't do anything unless you want to cause a constitutional crisis. Stop it.

This has been the longest week ever

The Jagmeet Singh/Kendrick Lamar situation is really funny. You are a loser at the end of your political career! Just live your life! Why issue that apology?!?

It's about time!!!

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Good night, sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

I’m going to say something bad, but bear with me 😬 My reaction to this is: good. Every year the west, particularly the prairies, is blanketed with smoke. When it impacts the big centres/centres of power, there’s at least some hope for pressure to do something.

Happy Zhabohadyuking, everyone

Everyone on Twitter right now.

Rest in Peace, Marc Garneau. Thank you for your service. #cdnpoli

Trump’s latest strategy to undo President Biden’s executive orders is to claim Biden is a robot. Wish this was a joke.

This has just broken me. No matter how old you are, or what responsibilities you take on, treasure your imagination, your creativity, your soul and your cuddly tiger.

Trump's ambassador to Canada has a long and dark history of disinformation and interference in the politics of other countries. So when he tells Canada to "get over it" regarding Trump's threat to our nation, don't believe him. Check out my analysis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkAg...

Wait... I'm the drunk/stoned neighbour! Blown Wide Open - Big Wreck. USA but Canadian adopted 😉😊

My neighbour is drunk/stoned again... singing a loud along to GenX sonds. 😔

The summer underground mining tours at the Cobalt Mining Museum are beginning. I will be leading off the first underground tour on Tuesday June 24. It is a wild journey into what life was like back in the days of the silver rush. Call the museum to book your space now. 705-679-8301.

An ethics investigation into allegations the former Tory government tried to get a controversial mining project approved after losing the 2023 election has concluded former premier Heather Stefanson and two of cabinet ministers violated the conflict law and should be fined thousands of dollars.

Even during a Leafs Game 7, traffic still bad. It ain’t bike lanes, Doug.

Listening to the first segment on The Current this morning was a mistake. This lady is completely out to lunch.

Genealogists across Canada nodding their heads in agreement. 80th anniversary of the end of WWII... that'll be an 18-month wait for your grandfather's war records - from Canada.

MP Steven Guilbeault is the new Minister of Canadian Identity. Here is your reminder that he thought he could travel to all the provincial capitals by Via Rail. He publicly announced his ignorance at an international conference.

A Moscrop-led NDP government will ban retail outlets from asking you for your name, email address, phone number, or postal code. It’s none of your business. Take my money and give me my shirt.

In that it cost millions of lives and left Britain economically ruined with its population on ration books?

Today, May 8, marks the 80th anniversary of the beginnings of Germany's return to democracy - and of European and trans-Atlantic reconciliation and reconstruction. If there's a triumph to be celebrated today, let that be it.
