My best friend growing up had a Dutch father. He was put in a camp when he was just 10 years old. He had the tattoo. I learned about the Canadian liberation of the Netherlands from him. He said it was his dream to live in Canada, the place that freed him from the Nazis.

Treaties? Native Land? Ah yes, from *that* part of the National Anthem. Just say no to the Maga Quislings.

May the First. Heh.

Message from Ukraine: Thank you, Canada. For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse. You reminded us that we are not alone. Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world. And more like something worth staying alive for. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Maple Abs for the flex.

Day after the Election. Liberals have a minority government. Cons are the opposition. NDP and Greens lost party status. Bloc leaned Liberal for the first time I recall. That about sums it up, I think. Oh yes, and Trump is Poison.

No one throws shade like the French. Note how Macron shakes Zelensky's hand, and maneuvers to avoid Trump's.

unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy

Give a shout out to @charlieangus104.bsky.social for his words at a gathering in Alberta. #elbowsup and keep in mind, 34% voter turnout SUCKS. Your vote counts! youtu.be/cBXiSLMX2Gc?...

An indie business owner talks about what it takes to be Made in America. youtu.be/ej4j04V72DU?...

If you don't need to travel to the US, don't. They're starting to notice. #elbowsup www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Canadians are canceling conferences and other business trips because they don't want to be sent to a gulag. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

It does not seem significant to buy Made in Canada. But it matters. It really does. #elbowsup

So I know of friends who have stopped using Meta platforms, canceled Amazon Prime and Netflix, and absolutely will not touch the Muskrat's products. Look at how much they lost.

Can anyone else confirm this bad behavior from Conservative press tours? I mean, I know who I'm voting for. But this is uncivilized.

www-cbc-ca.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbc.... My first thought was, "Burner phones, to the US? It's not like I'm traveling to North Korea." Then I remember the times we now live in. #elbowsup

Here's a breakdown on how airlines work, and how Canada's boycott on US travel is devastating. Keep those #elbowsup youtu.be/jIQjFWVHVjM?...

Have you said "Thank you," to Uncle Lar @lartist.bsky.social yet? One should be grateful, yes they should, for his art. Mm-hmm.

Yet another reason to not buy a Tesla: mystery rebates on suspiciously sold cars. youtube.com/shorts/OYn_K...

With the elections in Canada now in full swing, here's a refresher on how to spot deep fakes. Be on the lookout, folks. www.media.mit.edu/projects/det...

Wait, what? The whole fentanyl at the border is just a smokescreen for EGG SMUGGLING? thelogic.co/news/canada-...

Something to think about. Social media is being used to push US aggression. Don't fall for the hype. #elbowsup www-cbc-ca.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbc....

Remember when Pumpkin Spice Palpatine bought a Tesla to prop up The Muskrat's falling stock? Well ...

Earlier, I talked about how ordinary Canadians could form an ongoing resistance to an invasion from the US. The Canadian Military has something else to show the world. youtu.be/8rRPdD0CLeA?...

So I know more than a few Ukrainian folk. My overall impression is that they're humble, friendly, and loyal. And will Throw Down if pressed. So, yeah, consider Canada in good company. #elbowsup

Remember Canadians, it is about boycotting American products! The EU and the UK are our trusted friends and allies and should not be forgotten. If you cannot buy a Canadian product please buy British, French, German, Scandinavian, Italian and so on! Let's build a stronger world together!

For those of us who formed plans to deal with a Zombie Invasion twenty years ago, here's something to reflect on. theconversation.com/why-annexing...

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

Can anyone confirm this? Just for giggles? Schadenfreude-y giggles?

I had to think about this. Conspiracies imply intelligence, that there is someone with A Plan behind the manipulation of events. While there are those taking advantage of the chaos to enrich themselves, the root of all this is still ignorance and chaos. None of this will be explained soon. #elbowsup

Now I'm not suggesting that this information should be abused in any way.

So with the first day of December, 2024, it is now, with a heavy heart, that I confirm it is too cold to ride my motorcycle.
