Get out and vote, Ontario.

You can fuck RIGHT off with that, Google.

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the Theatre.

The dream lives on.

Well, that was some work. 14" measures at the lowest spot. Some drifts were at least another 1-2 feet.

Ottawa, dig out the vents at the side of your house. Not check em. Dig em out. They ARE close to covered after this storm.

Looks like another 30-40cm coming in this weekend, Ottawa!

You're Fucked, America.

The best advice I can give anyone is "quit adding your coworkers on social media". If you don't interact with them outside of work, they're not your friends, they're acquaintances.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Measured (at the lowest point on the driveway) 11" so far, with snow continuing through 3pm.

It was wonderfully quiet during the snowstorm, at 6am.

Well, it's finally time again. Yes, it's Bad Movie Wednesday. Tonight? RIng of Fire (1991) youtu.be/JWZuUCRK9DI?...

For anyone complaining about "too much snow/winter" this year, we are DESPERATELY low on winter precipitation this year. We need A LOT more snow, for a bunch of reasons.

If you’re choosing generative AI over human creativity and labor I judge you and I don’t like you.

Yuck Elon, and Yuck Twitter Gold 🤮 It costs around 12K a year…. What a horrible waste of money, Instead of doing that, we are giving $1000 to a different charity each month this year. Starting with Doctors Without Borders!

Hello, Mr Mccarthy? It's your time again.

I'll be honest, I can't even find the anger today. Just despondent sadness. I genuinely do not understand how hurting people, as a matter of policy, makes the world better.

From last fall, out for a ride on the Sawmill Creek path, next to Airport Parkway. Pentax Program Plus with expired fujicolour film.

🪶😂😂😂😂😂🇨🇦🇲🇽

Explaining to CNN the economic chaos that Donald Trump is about to unleash on his own people. We will never break or concede to an erratic thug who seems like Al Capone in his syphilitic phase trying to pull a shakedown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ZE...

It looks like Trump is pulling back after seeing what a fucking shit show he was creating. I still don’t change my view that this needs to be a wake-up call for traditional allies that they need to reduce their dependence on the United States, and particularly on its tech industry.

Unfortunately the Constitution did not foresee a situation where the president does whatever he wants and says "What are you gonna do about it dork"

So, Poilievre's big plan is to do... exactly what Trudeau has already committed to?

British Columbia is already pulling the American liquor.

Read that first line. Then read it again.

OK, I kind of love this one. It's a little grainy, and underepxosed (regular issue with my Olympus Trip 35. I'll work on that) but the colour generated from the 20+ year expired FujiFilm is pretty wild, and definitely evokes the feeling I wanted from the shot.

Yes, I'm posting photography, while I let the shit show that is North American politics and commerce percolate before I post any more about that.

The Fun Slide at the Carp Fall Fair in Carp, Ontario, shot on a late sixties Olympus Trip 35 rangefinder with Lomography LomoChrome Color'92 film. I definitely have a problem with underexposing with this camera, something to work on in the future, but I love the muted pastels the camera & film make.

At Thunder Cove Beach in PEI, Canada on a cool, wet, stormy morning, with the fog rolling in. Shot on a Pentax Program Plus with Kodak Ultramax400.

As I continue to find pics from the Oblivion car & culture show, I put 'em up here. I finally found that I had, indeed, taken one of MY OWN CAR. I thought I hadn't. so, a 1987 Merkur XR4Ti, shot with a 1970's Pentax Program Plus, on modern Kodak ultramax400.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Canada’s biggest labour organization is calling on the federal government turn off the taps, “cutting US access to critical Canadian resources—including electricity, lumber, critical minerals, oil, and gas—until the tariffs are lifted” 75% of Canadians support restricting US access to our resources

This is absolutely the correct analysis by @gaytonausa.bsky.social & so well written. Read it & understand just how absolutely unacceptable Musk's behavior & his politics are to both the electric future & the future of democracy in the US and around the world. insideevs.com/features/748...
