So, if you meet someone and their given name is Alexander, but they tell you they wish to be called Sandy, what do you call them? Pronouns can be awkward, but YOUR language reveals everything about YOU, never them!

I guess maybe there should be more diligence in cleaning PRIVATELY owned boats. Isn’t this an owner responsibility?

Um, actually, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and others helped long before the US showed up. In fact, Canada joined Britain on the same day as Poland was attacked

As a +30 year member, one the most impressive things about Costco (in Canada) is seeing the same employees working year after year. Well treated, well paid employees = satisfied customers

We also have extensive maternity leave, (un)employment insurance, OASP that is received by EVERY senior citizen, extensive child benefits. Long way from perfect. Oh, and our elementary and high schools don’t need to be “fortified “.

I watched her being interviewed the day after the poll came out. She double and triple checked the results but couldn’t find any reason for them to be incorrect. People have such short memories! What part about “19 times out of 20” do they not understand?

And the nuts- pecans!

I’ve always believed the nuts are essential. The raisins are optional! Love, love, love butter tart slice (yes, I know, but I lived too long in Winnipeg)!

Lived 30 years in Winnipeg. A local cross country ski place has purchased snow making equipment because- not enough snow! I remember years of 5 full months of skiing! I really don’t think climate change is going to benefit very many people.

Fine, but it’s banned!!! For everyone!

They are banning “Night” by Elie Wiesel. Have you read this book? Its topic is very difficult and should be covered in school. I taught it to 9th graders. They were not the same children afterwards. They told me it was the hardest and most important book they had ever read!

Canadian here. I am appalled at the lack of empathy in the US. No! We won’t vote for single payer healthcare! Those CEOS of insurance companies are evil and deserve execution because they put profits over YOUR healthcare! Make! Up! Your! Minds!

Why do some folks think they should have a veto on other folks healthcare, lifestyle, choices that are not threatening/impactful on others?

Lived 30 years in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. WADR, what you are experiencing is not cold! Sorry! Then try Edmonton, Alberta!

I read it differently as though they knew MAGA would come after them. Possibly?

In Canada if you lose an election, you are done! No lame duck, no nothing! The voters rejected you so you’re done! This is how it should be!
