Unsolicited writing advice: no.2167 That thing you always wanted to do. That novel, that poem, that piece of art. Start it now. Don't wait. Make time. Give yourself permission to start. It will never be easier than it is now: maybe harder, but never easier.

Turning American products upside down on the shelves in grocery stores seems to be latest trend in Canada. That will let others know to avoid that item. We didn’t start this trade war, but we will see it through.

Have you signed the petition to strip Elon Musk-olini of his Canadian citizenship? Mr. Musk is pissed. He has posted snarky comments claiming Canada is not a real country. We can make this the largest parliamentary petition in CDN history. Please sign and pass on. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

A reflection on Canada and the dark times we are living in. We are no longer just playing shinny. The stakes are dangerously high. When Mike Myers gave the "elbows up" sign, we know what to do. Read my latest Substack here on why Canada won't break. charlieangus.substack.com/p/elbows-up?...

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

Two fucking bandits. One of them has unleashed horrific violence against the people of Ukraine. The other is our next door neighbour threatening our sovereignty. But we know exactly who this grifter is. We don't bend. We don't break. We remain #strongasfuck True. North. Strong. Free.

The use of the boycott has a long and powerful tradition of taking on tyranny. The grassroots Canadian boycott against Trump is having a serious effect. And we've only just begun.. Please read on how we can use our dollars to resist the gangster in Washington. substack.com/@charlieangu...

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #1614: Not all writing happens at a desk. If you're feeling stale, feed your mind - go for a walk, read a book, talk to someone, do something new. You don't find inspiration in looking at a screen all day...
