Let’s block the phone lines on Sunday.

I guess @ianhanomansing.bsky.social really is the heir to Rex Murphy. CBC can really pick them.

So US citizens want to become political refugees in foreign countries and expect to have the same rights and be welcomed as equals? They should talk to their gardeners first.

I just never imagined spending my final decades in a MadMax world. But that seems to be where we are heading. And the media are just ushering it along for ratings.

It's always hard to watch Tina in those days knowing how Ike was abusing her. I choose to watch her when she was free from that asshole.

Honestly, I'm in my mid 60s, and I'm seriously considering buying a gun and finding a shooting range for the first time in my life. I hate guns, but I'm looking at Ukraine and thinking, this is what we are preparing for. @ianhanomansing.bsky.social has it so wrong. This is not a drill.

This is how democracy dies. Cheap shilling media hosts selling us out to line their pockets. Ian doesn't get that the nazis he's promoting are not his friends.

And here's a question for you. Canada, as the truth north strong and free, is being threatened by the most powerful country in the world and Russia. Now what? How will we defend our country; are we ready for guerilla warfare if necessary. I am. How about you?

CBC: What can we do to get Canadians to support the CBC again? Outtatouch Ian & co: I know! Let’s have a thought exercise on our very sovereignty & right to exist! We can cohost with our potential oppressors! That’s fun! 🇨🇦: get your traitorous boots off of our necks, you bootlicking sycophants.

The classmates who teased her were raised in the evangelical church and taught hate by their parents and their pastors. #Shame There is no Jesus in US churches, just hate.

Nope. He and his advisors deserve what they are getting. He can fuck the fuck off with that question. Sorry if that offends you, but I've been offended by Trump and his attacks on Canada for years. There is no middle, polite ground. Trump is threatening war on Canada. Wake up.

30 yr listener here. You have it wrong, and now you need to make it right. There is no gap. Canadians will never welcome a conversation about being the 51st state. Talk about the strength of our sovereignty or leave it alone. You've stepped in it, now make it right.

I was in a streetcar on King during the great snowfall of 1999, the yr we called the army for help. And the streetcar I was ripped the mirrors off a car to get by. But we were still stuck behind another, and several strong guys got off to move the car. Teamwork. Tow them; it's Rocket science.

The government will acquire more when and as needed as they did for Covid.

I just came from the Kootenays and much of the interior is snow covered.

ELO? I moved across the country at 16 leaving my first love behind. And I cried to that song every day. youtu.be/77R1Wp6Y_5Y?...

I’m really going to miss California wines. Trump ruins everything.

Every young woman of child bearing age should be avoiding red states because their lives could depend on it should they need unexpected emergency medical care.

It feels like the media are going to soft-pedal the disaster that is @fordnation into the next election, much like they did in the last election. Ford needs to go. Focus on the destruction of Ontario Place, closing the Science Centre, Hwy 413, the ridiculous 401 tunnel and his support of Trump.

It’s fun. So many options.

Absolutely. I won’t see high speed in my lifetime. GO Transit has been promising service to Bowmanville for 25 years. The rail line to Muskoka was cancelled but there’s an air service!? Via’s one commuter train carries workers from Belleville and Peterborough to TO. Demand is there and will grow.

A whole lotta rich and supposedly smart people gave this guy a pass because he spoke to their racism and fears. It's a sad time in our world. Hitler didn't win and Trump won't either, but a whole lot of people are going to get hurt in the second wave of Nazism.
comment in response to post
Oh sweetie, we've been promised GO service in Bowmanville for 30 years. Canada is fat and comfortable in it's car centric universe...thus Ford Nation gets a 3rd term to build another unneeded highway. We are a nice nation, but not bold enough to build a nationwide railway.

The same people also threaten to "move to another country" and don't understand this would make them unwelcome refugees in another country.

"King was found guilty on five of nine charges in November, including mischief and disobeying a court order, for his role in the 2022 protest that took over downtown Ottawa for three weeks." King must not return to Ottawa except for court appearances and must stay away from six other convoy leaders.

It's about time. Canada should be investing in a comprehensive rail system that serves and connects all major centres. Rail travel is what makes travel in Europe so easy.
comment in response to post
Probably? He’s started a global trade war at the same time. The rest of the world is boycotting US products and travel. Trump has made the US a pariah state. There is no good coming from any of this. Putin just won the Cold War with Trump’s help.
comment in response to post
Right?! I'm focusing on personal pursuits because there's not much else I can do. If those fuckers are going to insist on burning it all down, I'm going to find a way to have joy in my senior years regardless.

Wherever you live in Ontario, you are paying for a MegaSpa in downtown Toronto! Find out how much your riding/city is paying for the Ontario Place MegaSpa and ask your elected rep or Doug Ford why at ontarioplaceforall.com/vote

Right? That's like kicking a Golden Retriever puppy.
comment in response to post
I don't check in there much either (FuckZuck). But basically, Trump is threatening our sovereignty and destroying the global economy in the process. Canadians don't feel safe or "nice" any more. I'm realizing I'll be spending my senior years in a Mad Max dystopia. It sucks. How about you?
comment in response to post
Nice. I might never have oranges again if I can't get them from sources beyond the US. I'm committed to living on winter vegetables 6 months a year. I'm really going to miss California wines. So sad. It was fun being neighbours. Take care of yourselves.
