Came across this political values diagram and updated it to add fascism so people will recognize it when they see it in action. #USA

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful to live in Canada and never have to visit Trump's USA. ✌️💖🍁

I am loving the "Some Frills" grocery bag. 🤣

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

An explanation of where Canada's economy currently is in relation to the past, and the current US & UK economies, & a way to arm yourself against Poilievre's bullshit.

That was the best 16 minutes I could ever ask for that explains what's happening and what's coming for the Canadian and American economies. Facts and data matter.

It's looking cautiously optimistic for Canada, but not for the USA.

In no uncertain terms, Ms Proudfoot in today’s @theglobeandmail.com justly calls out petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre for the lies he tells about who’s at fault for the challenges 🇨🇦Canada faces.

Some pet owners use laser pointers to exercise their pets, but that seems like a mean and frustrating game of chase for the cat or dog.

My vet said lasers cause your cat frustration bc they can never “capture” the target. Cotton or straw or bunny fur mice or birdies are better.

Trump doesn't qualify for the #PeacePrize for any altruistic reason. He deserves credit for forcing peace (for now) in Gaza, but his motives are selfish and his actions lack integrity. He isn't known for nonviolent methods either. Peaceful? Hah! And, he only craves the award bc Obama received it.

Gotta be honest, this doesn't sound like Trump, especially the integrity and nonviolent methods part. I was worried that the Nobel Peace Prize was becoming too politicized and would be used as an incentive rather than a reward. Well, not this year.

Since 1/4 of Americans have low literacy skills, they aren't able to reach conclusions based on evidence and reasoning. Their employment is limited, so that must make them disgruntled as well as gullible. Ripe for the picking by Trump.

Specifically yes, but more generally our Parliament has a longstanding UK tradition of allowing loud and obnoxious shouting during Question Period. It has become accepted practice, and Conservatives have carried it to the extreme.

Let's hope Blair and PM Carney can keep Kushner in check. I'm going to wait and see what's in store for Palestine, but hopefully Canada will have an important role upholding progress towards a two-state solution with peace, prosperity and equality for all. Our PM won't support colonialism.

Excellent analysis involving a pipeline (that doesn't cross mountains or endanger a coastline), steel to build the pipeline, a stick handling PM Carney, petulant Premiers and Poilievre the buffoon. Something for everyone! 😁

The ass-kissing flattery is sickening.
