A guy living on Vancouver Island. Award winning food-grower based in Victoria, BC, I am a centrist in Canada, which would be very left leaning in the USA ;) I do not like Circus Clowns.

Here's the thing about Gretzky: he didn't just make the bed he's lying in right now. He went to the furniture store, picked it out himself, and put it together by hand. All he has to do is come out and publicly denounce Trump's attacks on Canada. Why won't he?

Guess who's not in this picture, or attending the London Security Summit today? I'll give you a hint: he's out playing (and cheating) at golf. However, Canada joined the Europeans at this very important summit.

And that's not all. Jesse March continues his positive talk about Canada (from the perspective of an American) in a sit down interview with the #CanMNT coach, two days after his strong words at the CONCACAF meeting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il_R...

I'm very proud that Jesse March, an American, is the head coach of #CANMNT Men's National Team for Canada. His words specifically matter. If you are tired of the Circus Clown and his hateful, spiteful, infantile rhetoric towards Canada, watch this American speak. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS-4...

A reminder for these times.

Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.

I have finally become a fan of AI. Oh, if this had only really happened.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

While watching that horrifying, globe-shifting exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

So the @washingtonpost.com has just become Jeff Bezos' propaganda rag now? Glad I cancelled my digital subscription back just before the November election in the USA. I hope everyone else is doing similar.

Do it.

Not going to lie, I was secretly hoping this mansion-sized asteroid was going to hit around Mara La Go.

Anytime I see goals scored against Maxime Crèpeau in MLS, I cheer loudly. And right now, Whitecaps have 3 goals up on him. 1st goal against, it was Crepeau's fault. 2nd goal, super long strike Maxime couldn't reach. 3rd goal, Nelson a full field rocket blast of a run, simple pass, beats MC. #MLS

Sometimes AI can be useful. Like creating this entirely fictional image. It's fictional because while Justin can skate and play hockey, Circus Clown's ankles would snap the moment he put a pair of skates on. No way in hell could he ever dream of hitting the ice in any shape or form.

This. This is exactly what's wrong with US Democrats. No balls. No conviction. No fight.

Good. Though Circus Clown generally ignores courts. He does because it's proven he can.

BTW, to any American who's pissed about seeing this, and insulted by it, maybe take a moment to try and understand why the rest of the world kinda sees your nation like this, now.

No idea who made this but thank you

'Fuck your tariffs!' How Canada's #4Nations win over the USA was bigger than just hockey — especially in a border town that's the front line in the economic battlezone. And yes, I spent the night drinking beer and eating beef dip. It's a #hardknocklife. theprovince.com/sports/canad...

I guess the Americans got the Circus Clown Jinx. WAY TO GO CANADA! Yup, we rule at hockey. But we also rule at just about everything else that's actually important in life, and that's even more important.

It has to start somewhere It has to start sometime What better place than here? What better time than now? It's time for real resistance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN60...

Not going to lie, I kind of enjoyed seeing Christian Horner almost booed off the stage at the big F1 Car Reveal event last night. #F1 #Formula1 #F175 www.youtube.com/live/Mw1r6Dw...

One of the things I love about Rage Against the Machine is how they can take these amazing protest songs by other authors, and totally make them their own. Like Maggie's Farm (Bob Dylan) and the Ghost of Tom Joad (Springsteen). Who did it several times with Morello. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-mq...

A little late night listen, and also pondering a thought: Where are the Rage Against the Machine equivalent bands of today, absolutely raging and seething against the Circus Clown Fascism we're going through today? The Ghost of Tom Joad. A friggin classic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vyp...

The greatest single live guitar solo in the history of music, the moment Prince steps forward. I dare anyone to prove me wrong. Just beyond brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRC...

At this point, Canada should really impose a requirement for every American travelling to Canada to show proof of vaccinations and shots.

Elon's quite obviously a real world Bond villain at this point. If so, when is the real world James Bond going to show up to deal with him? Also notice Elon's been carrying his 4yr old w him everywhere since Nov 5? Treating him like a human shield it seems. That is super evil Bond villain level.

oh this would be brilliant.

And though I joked about this last week, I'm no longer doing so: Canada needs to see proof of vaccinations and shots for every American visiting our country, going forward.

That the US Republicans are so deep into the cult... that they'd elect a clearly insane man who's brain has literally been eaten by worms... to be the Secretary of Health. You Americans are so beyond fucked. I honestly don't see how you make it out of this tsunami of fascist stupidity.

Epic @sama response to Musk effort to fuck with him, which will obviously cause a ruckus

Heard through the grapevine an important football match was happening today, but I checked. - No EPL matches today - No MLS, CPL (CPL starts in April woo hoo!) - Some FA Cup matches today, with I guess the biggest being Aston Villa v Tottenham. Oh well, back to work, I guess ;)

I've never been able to understand why celery root / celeriac is so expensive in Canada. Around $14-16/kg. My wife says it's 1/4 the price in Europe. It's - grown locally - hardy - easy to grow - has a long growing season (one neg). So why is it $6-7/lb here? One of the most expensive root veg.

Here's the real heroes fighting oncoming fascism in the USA, and note, they aren't just rage tweeting all day long. The women and men berating the Stasi, the woman with the megaphone, etc etc. Only mass public protest will seize the day and effect change in your country.

Soon, the Canadian Government will have to require proof of vaccinations and shots before letting any US Citizen cross the border. Seriously.
