Memories from Budapest.
Following a morning guided bus tour, and time to explore Buda Castle, I returned to the site of Shoes on the Danube, which I'd seen from the bus, and when I learned it was only a couple hundred metres from our ship, had to go for a closer look.

Yes, I filled it up before I put my elbows, and my wrist, up.
The vintage pilsner glass supporting an Olympic games.
Unfortunately I can't remember which games: I don't think Petro-Canada properly cautioned these shouldn't go in the dishwasher because the logo will wash off.

To start the first Canada Day weekend in year I, for one, feel more than barely ambivalent.
This year is different. 🇨🇦🎇🇨🇦💪🇨🇦🤟🇨🇦❤️

Yes. I was sick when I saw his riding turn blue. 😰
Here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 election - what it means for Canada in the short term and what it means for the movement of social democracy in the long.

I canceled NYT last year, bc of 💩 like this.
I guess they're still there.
Trump's also extraordinarily lazy, utterly unconcerned with the operation of the government he ostensibly leads, devoting much of his time to various grifting schemes and suffering from advancing dementia. So there's that.

Having escaped prison and death, President Trump has returned to power seeking vindication and vengeance — and done more in his first 100 days to change the trajectory of the country than any presiden...

This is a better way to keep us safe. We shouldn't trust the F-35. We don't need to do a solid for that former ally any more. 🇨🇦

On Justin Trudeau's last day, I'll share a special personal memory. On the first day of the last election, he made a campaign stop here. The local Liberal volunteers lined up to greet him and support our local candidate, whose sign I was holding in one hand, and my phone for pictures in the other.

".. ashamed of their dad.. " well said.
There's no way anybody got close to the Vice Liar.
Sorry J.D.
My concern is for Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russians or bombed and mutilated by Putin.
As for you claim that your kids were scared by Ukrainian protesters
you should be more worried about them being ashamed of their Dad.
You are a liar.
