Just a Canuck who wants to support other hard-working Canucks. I am not paid (in any way, including merch). Just sharing things that I think are worth sharing. That includes some pet pics. And encouragement to see Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical 💼

And now, a #dog #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #ThrowbackThursday

Hello, #Minnesota! You can crush this week by adopting Crush the cat! Don’t delay! And while you’re at it, spread word so your friends all adopt a rescue pet to improve their lives. Pass this on, #catsky #petsky #cats #rescuecats #caterescue #catsofbluesky #AdoptDontShop

Canadian Business Alert! This is just a perfect cheese. Why? Um, #MapleSyrup 🍁 blackrivercheese.com #elbowsup #buyCanadian #shopCanadian

RFK Jr's extremely dangerous take puts those on the ASD spectrum in the position of having to defend themselves as productive, important members of society, which most are. Jr and his ilk are the true societal failures who often don't pay taxes. #autism #ASD #science #research #sciencematters

Language - word choice - matters. Greatly. Now more than ever we must choose our words carefully.

Canadian Business Alert! In quest to discover and support #Canadian businesses, haven't had coffee from the same roaster since Jan. Right now trying #CrankCoffeCo from #NealBrothers - 2 different roasts. Here's the first. So far, so good. ☕️ shop.nealbrothersfoods.com #elbowsup 🇨🇦 #buyCanadian

So dangerous when ppl (esp. those in positions of authority) don't make an effort to understand #science. #Genetics are important. Rates increase b/c of #evidence that #ASD presents in various ways. Vast majority of those on spectrum live productive lives. RFK Jr. is dangerously wrong. #autism

#Umbra - 45 years old. Great #Canadian business! #buyCanadian #shopCanadian #elbowup

Someone’s not ready to start her day. #dogs #dogsky #dogsofbluesky

Ready for bed. Goodnight. And good luck out there. #dogs #dogsky #dogsofbluesky

I don't want to admit it either, but evidence is evidence

I must (again) encourage everyone, everywhere to see #OperationMincemeat 💛 and, if possible, experience (there is no other word) the brilliant @jakmalone.bsky.social 🌹on stage, along w/the equally incredible @natashahodgson.bsky.social 💼and @daveycumming.bsky.social 🦎 www.vulture.com/article/jak-...

If for no other reason, embracing of conspiracy theories is enough to help guide voting. #elxn45 #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

This is the most Canadian headline. This might as well be “Breaking news: Moose apologizes for eating Prime Minister’s poutine”

What Borders on stupidity? Mexico and Canada

Unlike other Metro cities, Vancouver lacks a budget for stray cat control. VOKRA, the volunteer org doing this work, is struggling. My Wed motion calls for city support for animal services. council.vancouver.ca/20250416/doc... Meet Leonard, now 20-yr-old stray kitten we adopted via VOKRA. 😻

US Health Secretary RFK Jr claims autism is a "preventable disease." "We know it's an environmental exposure. Genes do not cause epidemics... You need an environmental toxin." Autism has a strong genetic component. Autism is not a "disease". Autism is not an "epidemic". RFK Jr is not a scientist.

This may be a joke but man, it’s thisclose to being true.

Not quite the pet fountain we were expecting, but don’t think we’ll return it. #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky

Got a new pet fountain but think they sent they sent the wrong item. #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky

Can people (journalists!) PLEASE stop calling it "western separatism"? It is not western, it is Alberta. Many of us in BC find the rhetoric alarming. We don't want to join Alberta anymore than we want to join the US! Elbows up and hands off!

So dangerous to misuse the term epidemic. RFK Jr. is NOT a scientist and should not be speaking on such important issues relating to children's health. He's never sworn the Hippocratic oath so harming people with #misinformation isn't against his code of conduct. #vaccine #MMR #measles #autism

Vote, Canada. Vote. 🇨🇦 #elxn45 #Canada #cdnpoli

Attention, agents! Urgent intel: The five #OperationMincemeat British recruits will be leading an Ask Me Anything today on www.reddit.com/r/Broadway/ from 5-6pm ET! Make necessary preparations with your questions 🫡

Please follow #science and not RFK Jr. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic... #autism #measles #MMR #vaccines #vacine

We can do this, Wednesday! #cats #catsky #catsofbkuesky

Anti-science is extremely strong and dangerous, and now, because they believe govt tried to control them, they view the vaccine as an extension of that control, and they’re inflicting self-harm. The volume of disability and death over the next 5 years will be shocking until it’s completely numbing.

JJ is STILL looking for his forever human and home! C’mon, #petsky and #catsky, pass thisnalong. Orange cats are awesome and if you don’t already have a buddy for JJ, you can rescue him one. #cats #rescuecat #Maryland #MD #catrescue #adoptdontshop

To put so many children’s lives at risk is absolutely abominable. I hope these adults live long enough to be held accountable. #vaccine #vaccines #measles

Following Harvard’s refusal to submit to the Trump Administration’s demands, the government froze more than two billion dollars of grant funds. In a statement, the Administration said “the harassment of Jewish students is intolerable.” nyer.cm/bsNWIpo

Wow

Crows, the undisputed math nerds of the bird world, have done it again. This time, though, it’s not arithmetic or philosophy of math that they’ve conquered – it’s geometry. www.iflscience.com/crows-once-a...

@realjoshgad.bsky.social gets it! This show - this cast - this music is BRILLIANT 💛 💼 #OperationMincemeat #Broadway #WestEnd

Why is this not in every #LCBO? #elbowsup #buyCanadian #shopCanadian

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Is it safe out there today? #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky
