Sheesh. Cdn gov’t says my son, a Cdn who lives in California with a green card, shouldn’t leave the US as he might not get back. I teach uni grad courses on social justice in education. Not sure if I can get across the US border these days. When will I see my son again?? ☹️

Smart thinking and thank you Swiss Lindt chocolate! Lindt will ship chocolate from the EU to Canada (to avoid tariffs) instead of producing in the US and shipping to Canada. A win for 🇨🇦 and a loss (job/volumn of production) for the 🇺🇸 Buy Lindt for next Easter! www.foxbusiness.com/retail/lindt...

Took a little break from doomscrolling geopolitical chaos to compete in my very first powerlifting meet today. And came second, beaten only by a woman my daughter’s age who competes nationally. 2 PRs. This senior citizen is pretty damned chuffed.
