A friend of mine jokes that grocery shopping in Canada now is like visiting a library. The aisles are full of people quietly reading product labels as part of the spontaneous boycott of US products. We love our neighbours to the south, but really abhor President Goober.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Watching what's happening in the US now feels eerily like watching the fall of Afghanistan in 2021, that same "how can this be happening?" unreality.

Interesting to see how quickly American foreign policy pivoted from "Get clean drinking water for children without hope" to "Do ethnic cleansing for condos with Mediterranean views."

First foreign leader to visit the White House has an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes. I haven't heard that mentioned once during the coverage of his visit. There was a time when a charge like that would have made him a pariah.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

Canada and Denmark share a 1.2 km long land border on Hans Island since we ended the Whisky War in 2022. So technically we could join the European Union.

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

TRUMP: "I'm going to impose 25% tariffs!" CANADA: "We will do even worse in return." TRUMP: "Don't make me shoot myself in the other foot!!!"

Dear American friends: Resistance can take many forms. Please buy Canadian whenever you can when the tariffs begin. Canada is not a threat to you. We're the neighbour who feeds your cat when you're on vacation. What will your chonky floof do without us?

For no particular reason, I'm thinking of those heist movies where the bank lets the "security" team in and they start hacking the security cams and rolling the white vans up to the loading dock.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

Keep your messaging simple: “Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.” That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

An elderly man reflects on his 17th summer, spent with his beloved grandparents outside a remote, poor Irish village. Wry, evocative, tender, This Is Happiness by Niall Williams is a yarn spun of a faith questioned, love, loss, guilt and redemption. Recommended. 4.5 🖋️📚💙

There's a lot to recommend in The Siege of Burning Grass. It's a beautifully written and timely examination of war. The story is compelling, characters interesting and the world created is original. The very last pages as this good read rushed to its ending were a bit of a letdown for me. 3.75 ⭐🪐📚💙

Tom Lake is the only novel I’ve read so far that catches how the covid lock down changed how we looked at time, how it had us all taking stock of our lives. It’s a beautifully written meditation on love and the little corners of ourselves we hide, even from those we love and trust most. ⭐⭐⭐⭐📚💙

My spousal unit, who is a big Jules Verne fan (we're old, we can't help these things), said Verne once wrote Edgar Allan Poe fanfic. I gave him my best Doubty McSceptic face to which he retorted, "Look it up." He's right. I hate it when he's right. 💙📚 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Anta...
