Trump and Elon are panicking! Trump just said today that boycotting Tesla was "illegal". Keep pushing! Nazi Musk has all his wealth tied to Tesla stock. #Trump #Elon #TariffWar #Canada #Fascism #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics #Tesla

Easy choice, Canada. #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #cdnpolitics #Canada #PrimeMinister

😂😂😂 Reading a mystery set in a “quaint” town “just west of the Similkameen valley” with an outlet mall and its own university 😂 Spot the American author fabricating a Canadian setting. Or a Canadian writing for the American buying public.

With everything that’s happening to the south, I’m horrified to see that the Conservatives still have a strong projected lead in our next election. Get ON this, people. Vite, and vote wisely . We can’t have a northern Trump. And let’s not split the vote. 338canada.com#fed

Song of the day: Bud the Spud- Stompin' Tom Say aye for PEI. Just say no to Idaho. My fellow Canucks are checking in with tales of defending our nation by purchases at the grocery store.

Anyone in Vancouver have a wheelchair I could borrow for a week?

LETS GO!

I really appreciate having a rural upbringing… when I read about the sound of trees cracking in the cold, I can hear it in my memory, similarly the feel of plastic bags around wool socks tucked into heavy boots. Memory rather than imagination is wonderful.

Choose your best family and live your best life!

What a wonderful initiative! Buy any children's book from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social this month, and as part of their #ReadItForward campaign, they will donate 10% of every sale to the children's reading charities @booktrust.org.uk & @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social! uk.bookshop.org/contributors...

Baby Otter hiccups are the best type of hiccups ;)

Reading a novel that incleds kids mimicking their adults playing poker, and the memory if buying these for my mother sprung to mind. Wow things were different in the 1970s.

The legitimization of misinformation continues… starts with “rewarding reviewers” and goes on from there. 😡

this really is the absolute apex of “move fast and break things” - except the thing in question is the entire United States government and we are in the process of learning what a catastrophic mistake the entire ideology was from the start

It’s time to bring in our hummingbird feeders at night, West Coast friends, and keep an eye on them during the day. I just noticed mine freezing up… All better now.
