"Mutton" in South Asia is goat, not sheep.

This, I've discovered after 28 years as an immigrant from the US, is a very Canadian thing. It grates. A bit.

I'd love to be on your list but can't DM you.

Jason, you're a masseur, not a masseuse. "Masseuse" is female. Unless you're being funny. Je penserais qu'homme qui a joué au hockey savait ça.

Oh man that's amazing. Your taste is redoubtable.

The ART isn't real. It's AI.

I thought "cool door!!" but I think that's a hanging mirror that looks like a curved door? Regardless I'm very impressed at your good taste!

What he *considers* critical. That's the rub.

The P in your Tdap is the most important component. Pertussis. I had it- aka whooping cough- 12 years ago at age 49. Was sick for months, had no idea my immunity had worn off because you need a booster EVERY 10 YEARS.

The accompanying "art" is AI generated. The text was fed into ChatGPT or whatever program. Learn to spot this.

Cons ADORE him. That wasn't the case for the other leaders.

I mean, yeah, but when did Americans ever have "the best lives on the planet"? 1951? Americans are force-fed "greatest country" propaganda from the day they're born and America exports that propaganda everywhere. It's not close to the best place. Come on.

Why use AI slop for this?
comment in response to post
Any Canadian politician who uses the expression "free speech" is an ignoramus who thinks she lives in the US. Smith is a grotesque fascist.
comment in response to post
Excellent points, but why the AI slop to accompany it? Completely unnecessary, and AI is causing an environmental catastrophe. Stop using it.

It was a huge Saturday paper in Canada. Sunday paper is small. Or was.

Good on ya for getting Shingrix. I got my second last August, didn't have a bad time but lots of folks do. Shingles is worse than the vaccine and you're protected for life.

Trump is attacking Canada here. You don't live here so you don't understand it.
comment in response to post
He wants it to be real. I'm just pointing out that he's talking about so-called "runaway productions" on which a vast industry here depends. He wants to hurt Canada, remember.

I know it's a joke, but Germans would never touch that garbage. German bread doesn't look like that.
comment in response to post
He's talking about movies made in other countries. Many many many many many MANY MANY MANY "American" movies are filmed here in Canada. The film industry in eg Vancouver is VAST but there's a lot of film production in every province and yes most are US productions, but how do you tariff this??

So CityTV found two people in this UCP Nazi hellhole who weren't thrilled. Trust me, the vast majority in that fascist riding are JUMPING FOR JOY. They'd only be happier to be part of Trump's America. Safest Nazi riding in Canada.

Eric Lipton writes for the New York Times and doesn't know how to spell "its"?

What a nice chunky body on you. Thank you.

You were indoctrinated. In no country are children brainwashed with jingoistic propaganda like in the US. Miller is trying to exploit a terrible, shameful fact about US education and make it work for fascism.
