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!

All I see from this is blue tomorrows.
One of these mornings, the sun's gonna come up and burn a hole clean through the planet like a giant electrical X-ray.
So, I guess it means that there is trouble until the robins come.

Anyone resorting to using some fictitious poll or other based on a handful of people supposedly surveyed does not have a serious argument or opinion... or leg to stand on, in any debate. All that matters is the ballot box in 2029 . Let the gov be measured on their achievements then and only then.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.
