I enjoy reading, walking my dog, cooking, currently trying to balance my desire to be informed with my need to hold onto what little mental health I have left. 🇨🇦

I'm starting my spooky season reading with Mean Spirited by Nick Roberts and The Dead Children's Playground by James Kaine 📚

I read it a couple of years ago, and it instantly became one of my all-time favourites. After reading it I got the audiobook so I could enjoy it in a different format.

The trend is in the right direction, but yes there's still a ways to go. I'll be paying attention.

It's time add a 200% export tariff increasing by 25% pre week until Trump ends this nonsense. Or we could simply stop all exports immediately!!🤣😂😅

My understanding is that Oasis is a Canadian company that sources oranges from Brazil. We don't tend to buy orange juice so it hasn't been an issue for us but this could be a option for you.

I think I found it. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas discusses the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting

I just tried to find the picture you mentioned but didn't see it. If you could share it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

A few months ago, the best I was hoping for after the next election would be a minority conservative government. WOW! Now, I'm starting to think it's possible for the conservatives failing to form the government. A bonus would be the likely end of Poilievre's leadership/political career.

I hope this backfires big time.

WTF He's completely out of touch with reality!

When I first read something about PP saying Carney was nothing but slogans, I laughed because I thought this was a Beaverton headline. I was just in shock after realizing it's real!

The counter tariff is on hold, and I really hope Ford doesn't back down until all US tariffs against Canada are removed with some guarantee that Trump won't put them on again with his next whim. Unfortunately, I can think of anything the US could do that would get me to trust him.

I've worked in retail and understand your point. Yes, refacing stock after customers create a mess is a real pain. However, in this case, I'm hoping management surrender to the inevitable.

Trump has shown the world that the USA can not be trusted as economic, political, or military ally. Trump has broken agreements & treaties with European (Ukraine!), Asian, & North America (personally significant with 🇨🇦 ) allies with complete disregard of any consequences no matter how serious.

Full name of the convoy was "the convoy of freedom to do whatever the hell we want without giving a damn about who or how many we hurt".

Thanks, I'll look into it, but I'm somewhat computer challenged. I did most of my university career with a type writer. Using social media apps is close to the hight of my tech ability so far. I'm learning but I feel like my IQ drops as soon as I sit in front of a computer. 😁

If I had the photo shop skills I'd be making memes of PP bending the knee Trump GoT style. 😁

A great idea! Pass it on. 🇨🇦

It seems clear that Trump is a Russian asset. My question is, why is Trump doing this? Is there some purpose or simply that we're watching 'a spoiled toddler throwing temper tantrums and breaking all of his toys'?

Protests against Trump in 16 Quebec cities, Here's pics of a border crossing and in front of the American consulate. They braved the cold temps to protest the attacks on women's rights and human rights, and the economic war Trump started against Canada.
ELBOWS UP!
