Boycott the US!! Oh, wait ... Live defiantly. Love courageously. Laugh generously. And don’t be afraid to think.

Just like when we stayed out of the disastrous and illegal war in Iraq, so too must Canada stay out of this new disastrous and illegal war in Iran. Time for us to contact our MPs and let them know that we expect them to stand on the right side of history, and denounce this latest madness.

Happy #Caturday! I’m missing my kitties because they’re visiting our kids this week. So here’s one of the first positive interactions between Holly and Poke during her first Christmas. That ball toy’s still a hit.

Who else needed this today? 💛 📸ourworld

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

If your country was under attack, how many bombs dropped on your head would it take for you to capitulate unconditionally? Yeah, thought so. You don’t win peace through war. War has, at its heart, an agenda of complete and utter genocide. Obscene, evil, and ironically unachieveable.

And only 10% actively support it. So naturally Smith says "they won’t be giving up on it just yet.” That explains why she’s giving more oversight and money to press releases. Because health care and education simply aren’t priorities to this government, unless it’s to privatize them.

Celebrating Freedom!

Thank you Rachel! "In actuality, there is no way to execute an immigration crackdown in a way that spares ordinary citizens — that shields their families and keeps their communities intact."

Always.

It's Wednesday... And on Wednesdays we're ferocious! 😂🖤 🔊🔊 📸cattosbeingcattos #cats

Danielle Smith doesn’t have a plan yet for running public health care, but just like Donald Trump she’s got a concept of a plan. albertapolitics.ca/2025/06/dani...

This makes so much sense.

"In reality, Canada is moving much closer to the authoritarian rule of Trump." And we are happy -- or otherwise too distracted -- to let it.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Chief Crowchild showed the world that we are: Angry. Hurt. Betrayed. Enraged at ICE. Determined not to be the 51st state. And we choose: Kindness. Peace. Healing. Understanding. Resolution. Gchi mîkwêc Chief Crowchild, you're a credit to Tsuut’ina Nation Xakujaa-yina and all the people 💜🪶🪶

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

I still giggle when those bits come up as “It’s a Canada Thing” promos. Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!

A letter from the staff of Senator Tina Smith to the staff of Mike Lee. Worth the read.

It’s Father’s Day ✨ On this special day, let’s remember that everyone we encounter is going through something. We have no idea what their life is like, or what they carry inside. We don't need to cause more pain and stress to someone's life through our words and actions. Just be kind ❤️

Wise words. Words matter. If they didn't, the 🤡 who wants to be king wouldn't be upset by them. The jackasses in his admin wouldn't be so keen to erase certain ones in libraries, classrooms, websites & own departments. If words are what you can offer, make them sharp & pointy, wise & kind, or both.

A great leader. One even citizens of other countries could look up to.
