“The MAGA cancer has been growing within Canada for years, aided by a Conservative Party whose ideology is dominated by American-funded libertarian think tanks that traffic in disinformation.”

Malcolm X talked about how the we absorb what the oppressors hate about us, trust their judgment & when we see our mirror images in others, we transfer our self loathing onto them. Surprisingly, CBC radio ran Malcolm X speeches & my parents listened to them

I wish Bill Maher would get some of these people to guest: George Clooney, AOC, Gavin Newsom, Gretchin Whitmer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus >> Especially love Julia to talk about her role as President Selina & her vp Jonah. VEEP is Trump’s playbook Bill is a great interviewer

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

Hands are the trickiest things to draw

The sky you see at night is a window into the past... The stars you see shone thousands to billions of years ago, their light only now reaching your eyes.

Head coach 🍁🏒Jon Cooper said: “I just hope Canada is proud because every player in that room is proud to be Canadian... This one was different, this wasn’t a win for themselves, this was a win for 40+million people and the guys knew it and they delivered.” ❤️🇨🇦🥇🏆❤️🇨🇦

Stock market lowest since October. And you thought Donald could only bankrupt the companies he owns www.marketwatch.com/livecoverage...

Trump’s on track for achieving all his promises for eliminating Black history. He got rid of a general and replaced him with a lieutenant because the general was just a DEI hire. Is it just the training that lets Caine unapologetically take General Brown’s place?

New York has an Alligator in the Sewer Day?! All those gangster movies missed a fun opportunity here. Or why did they bother with Godzilla? www.timeout.com/newyork/news...

Is ethical. real estate developer an oxymoron?

Before Elon Musk, there was Canada's Canadarm. Unlike Elon, it actually hoped to save astronauts' lives. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/c...

Kodachrome flower girl!

I once asked my very history-smart, left leaning friend why Canada doesn't get rid of our Governor General since the role is typically ceremonial. She said it was an important position to keep because the Governor General, theoretically has power to stop a despot like Trump www.gg.ca/en/activities

My dad & his brother, pictured here, were with the RCAF (Canada's Airforce) in WW2. Those aren't big pumpkins in the wagon. They're bombs. Trump & Musk coasted through life and have no idea what pain people went through to secure democracy.

My dad never talked about WW2 & wouldn't answer questions. I really do wish I tried to ask questions again when he was older because his photo albums are so fascinating. Sometimes there's little side stories or homage to a neighbour who died. These photos are from Montreal & Topcliffe England

Just follow Orwell’s dystopian 1984 which predicted everything he is doing. His grooming by KGB began around the same time as the book’s setting. Or has Trump banned that book?

Absolutely Agreed!! Until 2016, we were like siblings that have the best fun, love to visit each other, don’t always get the direction they grew up but love them just the same.

Imagine if Trump had threatened his buddies with becoming the 51st state instead of Canada? There would already be a fatwa on his and Elon’s heads.

I build inconsequential (by global standards— sorry clients) websites. A hacker replaced the front end of a site with their calling card. It took me forever, searching through files to find & remove malicious code. Who is going to be able to repair root sites to remove any code Musk has injected?

I bet some clever people out there could make an amazing remix or TikTok of all the different DOGE protest chants and boos. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump is throwing a bone to police officers that were angered about the J6 pardons. But the only police officers who will love the idea of doing whatever they want without consequences were most likely part of the J6 crowd. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

A priest, a rabbit and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender asks the rabbit "what'll ya have?" The rabbit says "I dunno. I'm only here because of autocorrect." 🤣🤣

I didn’t realize that the singer made a little change to Canada’s national anthem in response to president dipshit’s sycophant press secretary & her shit-eating grin as she dutifully goads Canada with the don’s 51st state rhetoric. www.bbc.com/news/article...
