Actually the minimum wage is much higher. In BC it's over $17/hr. The lowest minimum wage in Canada is $15/hr.

A great article about an alliance between us ushering in a new way of being, of existing within the Commonwealth. Scotland and Canada have much in common, and many of us in Canada that are mixes of many things have some, if not a ton of Scot in us. Plus we are already keepers of Gaelic!

Please. 🇨🇦🙏

Oh man, so fricking yum. Weird. I hated yogurt my whole life until menopause. Now I cannot get enough Greek yogurt. I downed this like a sorority girl with a tequila shot on spring break. Weird random thing for a peaceful Sunday. #nonewstoday

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Reminding myself to omm my grrr. Grr. Omm. Grr. Omm. The world has gone mad. I need some secret beach time. Anybody else?

I repeat…

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

Canada‘s WestJet says interest from Canada in flying to the U.S. has dropped 25% in recent weeks. Air Canada announced that they will reduce flight capacity to the US starting in March.

Russia attacked Kyiv, Ukraine with ballistic missiles and drones, specifically targeting apartment buildings, office spaces, and civilian infrastructure while people slept at night. Firefighters worked bravely throughout the night to rescue victims and put out the emerging fires. #StandWithUkraine

My heart hurts.

All is still correct on maps here in Mexico. Gulf of Mexico forever. 💜🇲🇽 #fucktrump

You Made Your Choice.

Everyone should be outraged. I feel sick. Orwellian world realism.

Monday morning, Bebé got to work making biscuits right on time. This is not a political post. Inhale, exhale. Enjoy a peaceful kitty moment. Buenos días from Mexico. 🇲🇽🇨🇦✌️ #catsofbluesky #makingbiscuits #catdistraction #prettykitty

Freedom! I was going to say "I don't believe it, they can't arrest him for something that isn't a crime" but I do, in fact, believe it because the fascist dictatorship isn't hiding. It is all in plain sight, nothing should surprise me. Do you have your papers in order? Lawyer on speed dial?

The current tariff situation means I’ve been watching a lot of Canadian news. I’m now completely enthralled with CBC News. Everyone on there is so articulate, respectful and knowledgeable. Plus…Canadians…you all seem lovely. I mean I’m sure there’s a few assholes there but in the main…lovely.

Oops 😬

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from implementing anti-trans Trump orders that would stop trans-related medical care in federal prisons and lead to trans inmates’ transfers. This followed a hearing in DC earlier today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🇲🇽 Mexican president asks: WHAT is the underlying reason for the ongoing epidemic of drug addiction in the USA? In case yall didn’t know — Claudia Sheinbaum, is highly educated woman. She holds an undergraduate degree in physics, a master's degree & a Ph.D. in energy engineering.

Canadian friends, encourage your reading week and spring break buddies to cancel Florida and come to Mexico instead. Cancun is waiting. Vallarta. Cabo. Tulum. Mérida. Etc. Etc. Etc Cancel ALL of Florida, not just the juice baby! We've got sunshine. And tequila. And bonus, no fascism!

Justin Trudeau and Claudia Sheinbaum negotiating with Donald Trump. 2024 oil on canvas.

You don’t need a permit to protest, just do it, it’s your human right. If you are anxious from lack of organizers, become an organizer. Humans have been protesting since the moment we learned to scribble on cave walls.

Buenos dias. This is Dexter. He doesn't know about doomscrolling. He is not a DEI hire. Eat, sleep, poop, zoomies, talk to birds, hunt lizards and delight those around me with my adorable kitten nature. You can rub my belly. But not for too long. #catsofbluesky

Call to action: 50 protests, 50 states, one day. #3E #USprotests #endimpunity #endautogenocide #endoligarchy #Feb5

I feel sick.

"Mexico is home to Casa Madero, the oldest operating winery in the Americas (including South, Central, and North America). The winery was founded in 1597 in Parras de la Fuente, a town in the northern Mexico state of Coahuila." Buy Mexican. No more US wine. uncorkmexico.com/blog/mexican...

Canada and Mexico unite, solidaridad. Viva la revolución mexicanadiense.

I have proudly been a scientist my whole life. We are now watching the deliberate destruction of American science at the hands of the corrupt regime. Data is disappearing, young scientists are not getting paid, free speech is crushed. We can fix this, but we don't have much time to undo the harm. 🧪🌏

Thank you, Canada!

This 👇🏼

I never thought I'd live to see the day when our closest neighbour, our ally, would turn their back on a country that fought wars alongside them, sent in firefighters, hydro workers, etc to respond to each of its disasters. Yet here we are Shameful. Fuck Trump and the Maga morons who support him

This 👇🏼. It may yet happen if he continues on his path of self-destruction and implosion of not just the US. We are nice here in Canada until crossed…just watch us play hockey. We are tough! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

"Avocado farmers look to diversify exports because of the tariffs from the USA." NO guacamole for you. Tequila? ÑO.

I have been feeling "white person" shame. I hate that I can be mistaken for an American. I live in Mexico but I am not a pinche gringa. Time to get my Canada/Mexico/Rainbow flag tattoo. On my forehead so there is no confusion. Any art ideas? 🙃😁 Viva Mexico, Viva Canada, Viva LGBTQIA+, Fuck Trump.
