Minnesota is indistinguishable from Canada – Minnesotans speak the same language, share the same cultural traditions, endure the same weather as Canadians
Canada could invite Minnesota to join us and become our 11th province, and enjoy NATO protection against foreign soldiers occupying its cities

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

This is deep stuff. In Europe installations known as "Stumbling Stones" are small brass plates embedded into the cobble or concrete to designate a place where Jews lived or work just prior to being killed or deported by Nazis. That we have these markers, in 2026 USA, is incredibly important.

Trying to find outfit for boudoir photos. I haven't attempted to look sexy in years. I don't even know where to start.

IMO we've gotta bring back "dillweed". There's nothing obscene about it but it still *sounds* obscene.
I'm trying to collect more epithets that aren't ablelist or profane. Haven't heard "dingdong" in a while - might put it into the rotation! Thanks, @anjalikdayal.bsky.social!

I'm still not done emailing Carney and Solomon about this. They can ignore me all they want but unmitigated sexual exploitation is not one of my Canadian values.
When Elon Musk rolled back Grok safeguards, he enabled millions of people to be victimized. Shamefully, governments did little to protect their citizens.
The X deepfake scandal shows why we need far stricter social media regulation as a stepping stone to new platforms — not just higher age limits.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.
You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

This method is proving effective for giving me that longing feeling that Heated Rivalry really portrays. I get like a little taste of Canadiana but it’s not quenching my thirst. I’m almost done season 2. I’m so close.
Okay I get one Heated Rivalry episode for every season of Schitts Creek that I finish. Just got my first HR, and it was painful to stop the second episode from auto playing. I love SC but HR lives in my head rent free.

Only 2 out of 4 of us were at Pilates today so I think it meant our instructor could try some harder stuff with us. And let me tell you, my legs are still tired right now. Also I had to fart the whole time so I was clenching for an hour.

I'm doing the Myers-Briggs again as part of my "what should I do with my life" work.
Of note: I don't put a lot of trust in these things, but they can provide insight.
Anyways, when I was young, I was ENTJ. Now I'm ISTP. haha.
Almost an opposite person. (My numbers are close to 50% on most)

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show.
Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.

Streaming platforms already give Canadians the tools to seek out the content they want, in the language they want, and the success stories speak for themselves.

I booked boudoir photos for myself in March. (Soon after my next haircut.)
Probably something I should’ve done in my 20s and 30s, but I guess I’ll never look younger than I do now in my mid 40s.
