My 2 cents: 1 cent: where the fuck are the Dems? Thank the stars for Bernie. He's out there being a great activist. The Other Cent: Elon's grandfather believed in world run by technocrats. He was also kicked out of Canada. It's not a new world order. This kind of rule runs in Elon's family.

If you follow the comments made on CBC online, you'll see that we really must support Pride in all of its iterations. These are our brothers and sistes marching.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

Really now. It is more than a bit presumptuous and arrogant of us to call the US the 11th province. They may prefer to be the 4th territory.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

We may have parts that no longer function as they once did. But we have other parts that still function well. I try to focus on those. And it often works.

#4nations #FourNations A CBC report on the win last night included an email from a Cdn who called our team "CANADIAN KILTED LADIES FROM HELL". An odd response, and one that yielded this bit of history: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Incredible. You have a great sense of our history. I still recall '72. I recall a great game, a great view (Tsawassen cliffs) and some great weed.

First time in my life I hoped Hellebuyk would let in more goals than his opponent. Bennington was superb. He's my first star.

I think that Canada's view of the USA has been inexorably changed by Trump 2.0. Even when (if?) MAGA skulks back into the ooze from which they emerged, how can we trust such an asymmetrical relationship again? Moving away from the USA over time may be the silver lining to all this mishegas.

I wonder if this stat about young men is revealing a distinct difference between CA and the USA. It's my understanding that this demographic was an important aspect of Trump's re-election. I imaging they're having sober 2nd thoughts. At least one can so hope.
