Found another e-petition - this one is to deny Tr*mp entry into Canada. Signed that too. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Wow - am i the last person who did not know that this *sshole holds Canadian citizenship? This petition may go nowhere, given the current chaos, but i signed anyway.

One of hundreds of reasons I won't be setting foot on US soil in the foreseeable future.

I don't even need to read the article to answer this question. But hey, bring it on; we can use more doctors in Canada. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

I'm on the Probe research panel, pretty sure i answered this poll. 😁 Good work people - keep it up! And f*ck the Conservatives. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

A reminder that PostMedia is American-owned. If you want to boycott American Products, that includes media. (includes both the Province and the Vancouver Sun. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmed...

Hit them in the pocketbook. Stay away. And it's not just about the money. You'll be safer avoiding the US anyway. www.thetravel.com/us-travel-as...

10 years already! I stood with one of those 'Voice your Choice' posters, and I still have a yellow 'Voice your Choice' DWDC souvenir scarf. We've come a long way, baby - but we still have a way to go to ensure access to all end-of-life options for everyone. www.dyingwithdignity.ca/blog/carter_...

All the reasons in this article resonate with me. theconversation.com/how-religion...

Seems like the right time to haul out this oldie. I don't even drink beer, but it IS Zed, not Zee! And I AM Canadian. youtu.be/BRI-A3vakVg?...

I will go with either, because I don't want to let the perfect become the enemy of the good. Some Canadian content is better than none. But I didn't know the difference between these labeling phrases.

Yay - about time and way overdue. news.gov.mb.ca/news/?archiv...

I feel like we're screwed no matter what we do, but I'm gonna try. youtu.be/oYUI4hu950w?...

This investigation on corporate (read: money grab) takeovers of vet care is terrifying. And well worth watching to be informed if you have a pet. youtu.be/9CiXnoCKu6U?...

This blog is excellent at clarifying the facts about MAID and addressing misinformation. Did you already know these 10 things? open.substack.com/pub/maidinca...

After months and months of PP's lies all over YouTube, people have begun to counter with his actual truth. Receipts included. Share far and wide. youtu.be/Zl9bmnDn15I?...

This poor little guy was a distant cousin. Death certificate: Died 28 May 1861, 3 months before 4th birthday. Cause of death - scarlatina simplex (scarlet fever) for 13 days. Anascara (severe generalized edema) commencing 1.5 days after eruption. Pretty soon we'll be Making Diseases Great Again.

Inauguration Day/Texas Winter Storm/Swinger Venn A lot to unpack

Anyone else annoyed by that new CoPilot that pops up in Word? I just got rid of it. youtu.be/yvg-eGzGYKE?...

I did this interview last week and I believe clips are airing on the radio in southern Manitoba throughout the day. www.pembinavalleyonline.com/articles/wha...

This is how i have voted for the past few years now - ABC (anybody but conservative). I go with whoever has the best chance to beat the conservative candidate. If the bus isn't gonna stop at where you want to go, you get off at the nearest stop. A tantrum won't get you anywhere.

I'm going to save this to my desktop and refer to it often.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

The Federal govt in Canada is not coming for your legal guns or your freedoms, but the CONS will cut your: CPP Healthcare Pharmacare Dental Care National Child Care Rebates Women's equality Abortion Care Senior Care Veteran's Care will use the notwithstanding clause to remove your charter rights

I'm not a big fan of poetry but this is good, and the rhymes are amusing. 'Power or attorney for personal care' is another name for proxy or substitute decision maker, ie the person you appoint to make medical decisions for you if you are no longer able. www.dyingwithdignity.ca/blog/ode-to-...

25 years ago - who remembers? On NYE I worked midnight shift at the hospital. They had supervisors and engineers on duty, bottled water, and hauled manual blood pressure cuffs out of storage - 'just in case'. Biggest non-event ever. The high-priced help had a drink after midnight and went home. 🀣

What's changed in 80 years? Nothing. No different in Canada either, except the name of the party. Conservatives are the same the world over.

On this day, 40 years ago... does anyone even remember the "Lord's Day Act" now? We've come a long way, baby... but there's unfortunately still a long way to go. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

this is a couple of days late, but watch it anyway. This guy is awesome, nails all the muppet voices! youtu.be/nx9TyBO96lI?...

Definitely

O.M.G. this is me. Covid in Sept 23 pretty much ruined my entire choir season last year. Finally getting over it now. (and I've had ALL the vaccines - 7 doses to date). ENT consult did a scope and said nothing to really see, just long-term inflammation, lots of that in actors and singers...
