You already have. Most of you are just too blinded by a lack of international media coverage to realize it. Your country is literally now the greatest threat to global democracy this generation has ever seen, and the remaining democracies of the world will react accordingly.

Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn, the first person of Ukrainian-descent to serve in that post, on his official visit to Ukraine in 1992. Chernivtsi University in Ukraine named the Ramon Hnatyshyn Canadian Studies Centre for him. #SlavaUkraini 📸Hnatyshyn Foundation

Flights still messed up due to the crash. My daughter is likely gonna be stranded in Toronto today. Hope they can sort all this out quickly!!

I can not imagine what John McCain would say about the Republican party over the last 48 hours.

My youngest is off to Georgia for a cheer competition. Hoping the USA can keep their shit together for the week she is down there!!

Do you remember stubby bottles? They were something that seemed uniquely Canadian and then, one day, they were gone. To this day, there is nostalgia for those bottles, but what is the history of the stubby? Let's learn more :) 🧵1/8

Had a great Christmas morning. 3 happy kids. Couldn't ask for more!! Merry Christmas!!

Just, wow. Lots to digest here. I don't like it a bit!!

🇺🇸Today, we remember those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor 83 years ago. We shall remain eternally grateful for their service, and forever honor their memory.

Watching the Canadian right claim religious persecution is absolutely hilarious. There's no bigger victim on the planet than a Christian Conservative.

So much like the old site I'm getting women follow me who then message with a bunchnof nonsense. I'm a happily married man. Here to keep up on the news and be friendly. That's it.

Butter tarts are a wonderful treat during the Christmas season (or any season really). They are quintessentially Canadian, but what is the history of these delectable treats? Let's learn the history of The Butter Tart :) 🧵1/10

This is Theo. He's always looking out for his older sister Mia. Sometimes that means simply making sure she gets enough pets at day care. 13/10 for both

Busy day today. Drop off a urine sample, get a chest x-ray, and then an appointment for a prescription renewal for my medical Marijuana. Then, I have an appointment to review my blood work from yesterday!!

I like this idea too much..lol

The longer Pierre goes without getting a TS Security Clearance, the more questions get asked. Even the BQ and Green leaders got the Clearance.

Come on over to the Barrhaven Legion at 3500 Fallowfield! We are here until 4:00 and there's some really great stuff here! It's your last chance to buy books from me in person this year!

Rosemary Barton on CBC, "We did invite the conservatives to come on the show, but they declined. Pierre Poilievre has been speaking on the hill, we will share what he says with you later the show," (paraphrased). My thoughts: why promote his speech on the hill, while he is boycotting CBC? #CdnPoli

The procedure went well. on my way home to have a quiet day. It takes up to 10 days to feel full effect, so I can't wait till it does.

Off to get an injection in my back to help with nerve pain from a herniated disc. Looking forward to a quiet day at home after that!!!

Counterpoint. The USA doesn't decide when we have elections. Furthermore, none of what he has said he is going to do is remotely normal. We shouldn't respond like we're bending the knee. This is drivel.

Trying to wean myself off Twitter and spend more time here. Hard to let go. Had an account since 2008 but was only super active on it from 2015 on.

My Bluesky handle is now emmettmacfarlane.com to match my website domain. This is apparently Bluesky's version of verification.

Calling Bluesky an echo chamber misses the point, because what Bluesky offers is a chance to redefine how humans treat one another online, where so many of us live. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Can't understand how this happened!! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

More illegal entries happen into Canada from the USA to Canada. More drugs are snuggled into Canada. And an untold amount of illegal firearms. If the Trump administration is asking us to deal with everything coming their way, when will they do their part?
