Sounds like truth, really. Well played by the Beaverton.

Vital that if you haven't already voted, to have a solid plan to get it done on Monday. Vote like our rights and our country depend on it, because it really does. #elbowsup #NeverPoilievre

Well, my day, week and month was made this afternoon with a five minute phone call. My Oncologist says the recent CT scan shows no evidence of cancer at this time.

If you compare the political views, historical actions, financial dealings and all other pertinent data, which candidate Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre are more likely to lead Canada towards fascism? The choice is clear. Exercise your right to vote today. #markcarneyforPM #voteliberal

A telling piece of video. Just say no to PeePee.

I can't imagine why I'm not surprised by this... It is long past time for the premier and the health minister to resign. #abpoli

Got to spend part of the afternoon with an enthusiastic crowd to hear @charlieangus104.bsky.social‬ speak. Thank you, Charlie, for reminding us how important it is that we continue to stand united for Canada and reject the quislings that refuse to do the same.

You can say that again!!! Those who voted Trump & are surprised or disappointed by his actions were only voting in blind self interest. Canadian voters should not delude themselves that PP would be any different #cdnpoli

Voting is vital if we don't want Canada to look like the mess south of us.

It's that (difficult) time again. So much good, so little space... 1) Running on Empty - Browne 2) The Kick Inside - Bush 3) Something/Anything? - Rundgren 4) Asbury Park - Springsteen 5) Layla - Derek/Dominoes HM) Candy-O, New World Record, Let It Be, Tapestry, Farewell to Kings🇨🇦 #5albums70s5

There's quite a few reasons Mark Carney will make an excellent prime minister...this column explains an important one. deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

Well now, isn't this interesting? Apparently the CPC and PeePee believe the old adage: "laws for thee, but not for me"

I remember the very first time I heard Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" on FM radio and being blown away by her vocals. Went out and bought the album that week. Odds are, this will be in my top 5, even with all the competition this time around. #5albums70s5

Brilliant parody of Alberta's chief quisling!

Good read. I've thought often about what the care I've received in the last 16 months would cost south of the border and it scares the shit out of me. Very glad to be dealing with the Canadian system, and while it's not perfect, it does work fairly well for acute care.

There's a lot of music to like on Candy-O, the sophomore album from The Cars. Definitely on my short list for this round. However, if it was just based on that Vargas cover art (that he came out of retirement to do), it would be a shoo-in! #5albums70s5
