Dear Liberal voter. If there is no chance your candidate will win, vote NDP. Doesn't strategic voting work both ways?

Liberals don't lend votes, not to the NDP. JE Barnard @J_E_Barnard If you lend your vote to the Liberals here, do so knowing that in another riding, a Liberal is lending their vote to an NDP or Green candidate to help them keep Canada safe from a CPC government. We're all in this TOGETHER.

Classico pasta sauce has made a marketing error. Dropping the size to 600 ml is bad enough. They changed the lid. Now it doesn't look like a premium brand you should pay extra for.

Singh is the reason, after 60+ years of voting NDP, I'm voting strategically. A mini PP.

The Liberals taking this opportunity to attack NDP seats in Edmonton are going to keep Edmonton conservative.

Strategic voting if it benefits Liberals but not if it benefits NDP. I'm going to vote strategically in my riding for the Liberals after 60+ years NDP. But is Griesbach NDP is the 2nd place and should be supported.

The problem of impeaching Trump is JD Vance and impeaching JD Vance is Mike Johnson.

@MeidasTouch Enough of the click bait. Trump isn't humiliated, turning on his team, collapsing, blowing up, frozen in fear. The only good thing about MeidasTouch is the text summaries of the videos, so you don't have to watch.

Spaghetti aficionados my son is doing some of the shopping and is still learning. He paid $4 for 500 gm. My price under $2. It was on sale from $8. Why would anyone pay that much for spaghetti?

Carney is a conservative central banker. That's why he cancelled increases in the capital gains tax and the carbon tax. Rich 2, middle and low income 0.

Who is paying for all the cyber trucks being taken apart?

‪Some people are surprised that Russians tried to go through a pipeline to get behind Ukrainian lines. They did it twice before and it worked.

When are Telsa, Starlink, and SpaceX going to fire musk. He brings disrespect to the bushiness and is clearly incompetent. He isn't the only shareholder.

It isn't just the tariff. It's the tariff plus the importer's markup. And the markups from whoever the importer sells to.

TD bank Easyweb requires confirming cookies on every page. Annoying!

I bought basmati rice. Using racial profiling, I asked a fellow shopper for advice and actually took it. It is "hand picked". I visualize hundreds of kids picking one grain at a time.

I just bought a new stove it comes with an anti-tip bracket. Apparently, enough people have stepped on an open oven door to make this necessary.

Seeing the overwhelming government support for the genocide in Palestine and the suppression of criticism, through firings of critics, one wonders if the conspiracy theories are correct.

It's amusing that commentators are saying Stammer got what he wanted from Trump. Trump lies.

If you're an author, don't use foreshadowing. Your reader will figure out the plot without the spoilers.

Jessica Berlin @berlin_bridge · 10h Germany votes tomorrow. 1 in every 5 voters will vote far right. How can this be in the country of ‘never again’? Could Nazis really rise to power here again? The answer: Oh ja. German comedian Jan Böhmermann breaks down why (in English): x.com/i/status/189...

Streamed SNL 50th and really appreciated the fast forward. Eclectic means you won't like it all.

Put horseradish in the mix for a tuna sandwich. Perked it right up.

The first 20 minutes explain why NATO/US doctrine is obsolete and ineffective on the modern battlefield. The remaining video critiques the approach to negotiations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBPd...

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance -- American arrogance, ignorance, and privilege on display on the world stage.

How do you copy videos or video addresses on bluesky? Is there a help function?

Watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEdw... It was sad that she had to devote portions of the video pre-empting comments, erectus, vitamin D, Israel. Criticism is one thing; infantile behavior is something else.

The pause in abuse from the US is just that. It's like a spouse saying I'm sorry I hurt you and it won't happen again. But, it will in 30 days.

Krispy Kreme opened an Edmonton location and my daughter bought a dozen. Meh! The fillings are generous, but otherwise they are unremarkable. I was spoiled by Tim Horton's when they actually made doughnuts onsite.

The third of Americans who didn't vote need to take some responsibility. Trump wouldn't have won without them. We have a similar problem in Canada, 40% of the electorate don't vote. When people like Ford get elected, the media say Liberals and NDP split the vote. The problem is not enough votes

Trump is not stupid. He knows he is lying and does constantly and well. He is deliberately inciting riots with ICE raids, disrupting food production, creating chaos in government departments with DEI changes, and killing Americans by withholding health information and shutting down research.

Two examples of wishful thinking. The blizzards in the south are once in a lifetime events. Once in a century storms are now annual. Trump will only be four years. He didn't want to transfer power last time and just pardoned the terrorists. His successors will follow his example.

Larry Phillips @ljpother · The tik tok posts about how well off Chinese people are have the odor of propaganda. When I visited decades ago, home ownership wasn't universal; but rent was heavily subsidized. Home ownership was being encouraged but didn't make economic sense at the time.
