Hello! I am a friendly, progressive, secular Canadian. 😀👋✌️
My focus is Canadian/US politics, but humour and animal related posts are a welcome balance.
I'm an avid reader, a fan of black & white movies, and a music lover. It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded folks!

Charging EVs as fast as petrol?
The future is closer than we think ⚡
One of the biggest barriers drivers still raise about EVs is charging time - with petrol refuelling seen as quicker and more convenient. That gap is about to shrink… fast.

They say liberals and leftists get triggered quite easily, and I agree. But it’s usually about social injustice. That was a fun halftime show about social justice. The other people get triggered too, when we try to include the people they don’t like. They’re anti-equity, which is anti-America.
