Born in Chicago, raised in Toronto, 40-year resident of Ottawa. I voted for Harris in '24, Biden in '20, HRC in '16 and Libs in '15, ‘19, ‘21 and ‘25. I mute idiots/trolls.
Watching the Air Canada safety video and it’s completely bizarre. All examples of safety procedures take place outdoors: guy on horseback in Alberta reads airplane safety card, fisher in Nova Scotia puts on and inflates life vest, etc.

70,000 dead equates to 3% of the pre-war population.

If one were to retrieve radio and television news reports from the ‘80s, ‘70s and ‘60s, I don’t think you’d hear/see announcers saying that people are “praying” for victims of tragedies so often, if at all. When did religion permeate American life so thoroughly?🤔

Got an e-mail from Air Canada. “Your seat changed”.

No, it didn’t do that all on its own. Someone changed it.

The seat I selected four months ago. 🙄

Many people don’t even know the names of their great-grandparents, for fuck’s sake. So if he thought an ancestor was Cherokee and he’s wrong, give the man a fucking break. These genealogy sleuths are a massive pain in the ass.

Trump put these two National Guard members in harm’s way to satisfy his tiny dick urge to be a dictator.
National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Let’s call a spade a fucking shovel: Donnie Dimwit put National Guard members unnecessarily in harms waynyo satisfy his tiny dick urge to be a dictator.

This #BadgerDaylighting truck uses the Maitland EXIT LANE to merge into traffic.

Maybe the driver never drove in #Ottawa before. Or maybe he’s an ijit using an EXIT LANE to get ahead of traffic.

He holds up drivers who WANT TO EXIT AT MAITLAND.

The Trumplings are unable to comprehend such a simple fact
🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

“Despise” is too weak to describe how we feel.
Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."
