Walked too close to a window and felt an unnatural breeze.

American strawberries and American beer both taste water. Buy Canadian.

Broke my outer metatarsal missing a step that turned on a 45° angle before the basement floor. Ironically it was in a rental while we were out of our bungalow renovating so we can age gracefully in it. Stairs suck.

That should go for everyone! There are 16yo who are way better versed in politics than many 50+ folk out there who still blame Trudeau for hospital wait times.

I think they are called cougars and that doesn’t look like a hotel lobby to me.

Mark Carney was elected in Canada is because a lot of us left leaning voters “loaned our vote” to a centrist party whose new leader skews right of our values. He offers best chance for us to deal with the orange dictoddler that sticking to your values got you.

Doug doesn’t want the fed job. He really wants to be Toronto’s mayor and that will take him further away from controlling us. If cons were smart and stuck with O’Toole this would be a totally different story. Canadians want progressive conservatives. Doug ain’t that. Carney is closer.

How did that work out for Harper? Nice hair though.
Really, have Cons not learned anything??? Go back to Chretien and the attack ads mocking his facial paralysis from Bell’s Palsy.

It’s hard to believe his eyes are even deader than they were 10 years ago. He should go back to eating babies.

I hear there’s a Lada reboot coming. Are Fabergé eggs edible?

There's a big difference between public sector unions and private sector ones (auto workers, trades, etc). Guess which one shops at Walmart and bitches about all their tax dollars going to woke ideas?

A party full of good white Christian hetero men who love their good white Christian god-fearing stay at home wife who keeps a tidy marital bed and honours coital obligations with a biblical reading nightcap? Whatever could go wrong????

We need to make this sooner. Pls make it a line item on tax returns so Canadians understand where their tax dollars are going. Nobody likes to pay more (taxes especially) but we are already stepping up by paying more for Canadian goods. We need to be equal partners with our European allies.

2%. And it should be a line item on tax forms so people understand why taxes are up. It should all be spelled out so people stop bitching about their tax dollars going to woke policies. Dollar amounts and percentage.

The US used to be our loud but nice neighbour who we didn’t mind because their hearts were good and we could bum a lawnmower if needed.
Then they became our racist cousin who we excused because they watched too much Fox News.
Now they’re Nazis and we’re done apologizing for them.

Wow, so glad bro dudes are ringing alarm bells about how women will be ignored by a Carney government. 🙄

In Canada it’s pronounced “douche”.

Many of us even boycott the Canadian oligarchs who own Loblaws and other grocery stores here. Cut out all the douche bags. It gives immense joy.

And Layton only formed official opposition because of the backlash to the liberals. It was not a real NDP gain.
comment in response to
post
I was so mad at Layton when he supported a vote of no confidence and brought down the Martin liberals. We were so close to having subsidized daycare. At least Singh worked with the liberals to get some NDP wants. But he still trash talked like Poilievre. I won’t vote NDP until a change is made.

Sorry I should not have lumped all Americans here. I meant MAGA. But growing up in a border town you’d be surprised how many lovely Americans we met who thoughts you could drive 15 min and hit snow in July after passing through customs. Bluesky is a different crowd.

Why do they even care? Shouldn’t they be happy if it was rigged? Should make for angry liberal voters.

I will spend my summer dehydrating, fermenting, canning and pressure canning local produce and will happily teach anyone who wants to learn how.

Americans think we are eating icicles and pinecones right now without their produce. Let them.

He can’t even speak for himself. He needs his wife, Doug Ford and the orange menace to defend him. Gretzky always needing protection. Elbows up! 🇨🇦

At least we may rid gen z and alpha of future rwnjs. There is hope for the future, if we make it though the next four years.

The conservative brand became toxic when the PCs merged with the Reform party. They couldn’t get behind O’Toole who was somewhat more centrist and level headed. PP’s party is just a giant sack of rage vomit.

It’s likely true but George VI didn’t send his daughters away during the war. They need to step up.
