Just experienced thirty seconds of existential terror wondering which parallel universe I'd wandered into in which Ray Bradbury didn't write "Dandelion Wine"

I'm afraid that, when I die, someone will tell me how much of my life was spent on cable management.

It's not soccer, people.

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled. A small, almost invisible breath. Relief. And then came gratitude… You didn’t just choose kindness or experience… You chose not to flirt with fascism.” From Ukraine.

In a stunning reversal of historical trends, Americans are now apologizing more to Canadians than the other way around. If this apology deficit continues, there may be tariffs.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters and subdued two of them with stun guns. Read more: nyti.ms/42MLMZV

If you think figuring out tariffs on auto parts that cross borders twelve times before the car is finished is bad, wait until you see how often code crosses borders before the software is done.

Forget about Fentanyl; people are going to be smuggling iPhones from Canada into the US.

I see the dead cats are bouncing on Bay Street this morning.

I kind of want to go

Fight U.S. tariffs. Protect workers. Build a stronger economy.

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

speaking my language - I'm still convinced radio is the future: "Radio is the ultimate internet circumvention tool because it is not the internet. And it can’t be tracked." #othernetworks www.radioworld.com/columns-and-...

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.   We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

Damn it, OPP, don't we have enough to worry about? Knock it off. #canpoli citizenlab.ca/2025/03/a-fi...

Quebecker tells it like it is. In English. Because that's the only language his intended audience can understand.

I never wanted Canada to buy the F-35 and now I hope it follows Portugal and cancels the contract in favour of fighter jets from more trustworthy European allies.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

Ask yourself why your not joining this man and this movement Ask yourself why the democrats are not following his leadership youtu.be/39naUJnnRoY

A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events: Fuck fascists Fuck -phobes Fuck wealthy sociopaths Fuck immigrant-haters Fuck sexists Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico Fuck vaccine deniers Fuck this administration Etc, etc

This one is doing the rounds. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp
