Une fois les tarifs en vigueur, pourrons-nous retirer de nos épiceries et de la SAQ tout ce qui est un produit des États-Unis ? Il peut aller directement dans une benne à ordures ou dans un Cybertruck (c'est difficile de faire la différence entre les deux).

Damn. And to think I once was the Director of the Haskell Opera House - which sits above the library and where many of the seats are in Vermont while the stage is in Quebec. It was our field of dreams. Now Trump et al seem intent on turning it into the stuff of nightmares. #Never51

I’ve seen some confusion about what Mike Myers meant w/ “Elbows up” closing out SNL. Some saying it means “fight”. Let a hockey obsessive explain the nuance. Elbows up is a warning to teammates that liberties are being taken with no calls. So if they’re taking a piece, make sure they get it worse

May I gently comment: WHEN WILL THE WORLD ADDRESS THE US THREAT TO CANADA? We are beyond giggles at this point. Same as Ukraine’s, Canada’s security is essential to the world’s security. Would be a GREAT TIME to discuss this in London TODAY. I’m just gently commenting.

The legacy media is too busy sane-washing the actions of Trump et al to be bothered with documenting the resistance. Support independent journalism.

Who did the advance intel gathering for Vance's ski trip to Vermont? Tulsi Gibbard herself? Yeah. Vermont seems like a great place to go after ambushing Zelensky in the White House. No one cares about democracy or social justice there. Said absolutely no one. Ever.

So therapeutic. This morning the snow was perfectly ripe for cutting blocks. By later this evening it will be far too cold for building and the structure will have transformed into an icy snow fortress. Now for the lights and chairs.

David Johansen has died at the age of 75. He had been suffering from Stage 4 cancer. I had the privilege of seeing him perform live -- and hanging out w him at a few post-gig gatherings in the 1980s. A truly kind soul. Rest in rhythm. youtu.be/EcqckTknXoo?...

“Often, they’re just guilty of the crime of being poor... When you miss a court date because your phone was stolen on the streets or you’re so busy surviving that you forget to show up, that’s when the court system gets its hands on you. And once that happens, it’s hard to live a normal life again.”

I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to give away a million dollars a day for a thousand days in a row without putting a dent in your net worth. All the good you could accomplish.

Time to stop wallowing here! Now tomorrow is boycott spending day. I’m going to suggest that as we 🇨🇦 are already boycotting US products (Amazon, etc.), let’s support some small businesses. Go buy a coffee at a local cafe, visit a bakery, buy some Canadian maple syrup. Refocus. #teamcanada
