I miss the good old days when, if you mentioned the possibility that the USA would annex Canada, people would laugh nervously and start backing away looking for the nearest exit.

I'd, honestly, put money on him getting it next year. If he's still in power, he'll get it.

right? Like have they not been paying attention to the other provinces?

I mean, seriously, if we've learned anything by watching Trump for the past decade it's this: Those who suck up to him and do his bidding get punished (Bolton, Comey, et al) for whatever imagined slight he can think of. Those who stand up to him (Putin, Netanyahu) get praised.

Maritimers, quite frankly all of us, are the maga farmers of Canada. We constantly vote against our best interests, always get distracted by something shiny, and always, always, always vote for the quick fix, prosperity forever, amen!

Congratulations to all the Presidents and Prime Ministers tripping over themselves to praise Trump for bringing peace to the Middle East. You've just given him next year's Nobel Prize.

nice ass!

I didn't have Carney figured for being such a weak-ass bitch, praising Trump for doing literally nothing but prolonging the slaughter in Gaza.

We are in an endless whirlpool of decreasing services and increasing costs.

Much against my better judgment, I googled 'Katy Perry Justin Trudeau' and the rage/click bait responses were wild:
"This pos doesn't care about Canada....Abandons wife/children, etc." Like, you guys get that he's a private citizen, he's allowed to leave the country and be in relationships, right?

About the only good thing you can say about living on a boat in October is the beer can just sit in the cockpit and stay at drinking temperature!

I just saw a plane refueling another plane flying over Tantallon. Anybody else see this? It seems rather ominous....

Checking out at the NSLC with my beer, and the clerk said, "enjoy!" and I replied, "thanks, you too!" if you want to know how my day is going.

Discovered, to my horror, that Seamaiden had never watched "Miami Vice," so we started from the beginning. The scripts, direction, and acting are so cartoonishly over the top, especially from this guy, I'm amazed it made it past season 1.
Seamaiden, "Noogie is the JarJar Binks of Miami Vice."

This is a movie about two people who haven't figured out that this is their only life, not the dress rehearsal.

I was showering yesterday in the narrow stall at the marina, when I bent over to wash my legs, whacking my head on the soap dish. I straightened up, bashing the back of my head on the tap and suddenly the thought occurred to me that when I die, it will be in the dumbest way possible.

we live on a boat, our heat has been on since the 21st!

if the employees are moving from another city, you aren't creating jobs, you're just moving them around

My only complaint about Slow Horses is how did someone as mind-bogglingly stupid and oblivious as Roddy Ho ever become an agent in the first place?

I'm actually surprised he didn't check his car for damage before getting back in.

Apparently he hasn't seen February.

Does it freak anyone else out when they flip the Blizzard over in the DQ drivethru? Just me, okay.

I'm more disappointed that the warships sent by Italy and Spain let them and the promised dockworker's strike in Genoa has failed to materialize. Performative action is worse than no action at all! Either stand up to the bully or don't, but don't say you are and then slink away!

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

And they'll never put wifi on the ferries cause they know that the crew will use it too
