It’s amazing the reports about the “boos for JD Vance” on the “dead bird” platform. From reports of Vance being booed were faked to reports that fans booed both Vance AND the US athletes.
Watching the Olympic opening ceremonies on a Canadian network (the CBC) the athletes were cheered & Vance booed.

And, of course like so many involved in this Epstein atrocity, Bill Gates denies his involvement, despite strong allegations from victims, emails & other incriminating evidence.

After several weeks of Alpen Muesli being unavailable on store shelves under the pretence of taking time to improve the recipe of the cereal, it is once again available…bag half full in a bigger sized box, 50 grams lighter but at the same price.😡

A number of times in the past I saw people post they thought a word had been used before but Wordle did not duplicate words. In case you’re not already aware, that stopped yesterday. Starting Feb 2nd Wordle started using words a second time with “cigar” which was the inaugural word back in 2021.

I think it is well known that Trump was on Epstein’s plane. He states he was never on Epstein’s island. Perhaps he ran the US division of Epstein’s business, out of Mar a Lago & his other properties (including golf courses). Of course, many of Trump’s denials have been proven to be wrong.🤷♂️

If this is credible information, surely people will start to be held accountable, or things will get much worse in the US.

For several weeks this Alpen Muesli has been unavailable in stores with Post cereals saying they were improving its recipe. It is now, once again, available in stores repackaged in 600g packages, at the same price as this 650g package was.🤬

Poilievre may have had 87.4% support from his leadership review but, unless I am terribly mistaken, with him as the CPC leader the party is unlikely to win an election while Carney is Liberal leader.
He didn’t even win his own riding in the last election.

Excellent post by @arlenedickinson.bsky.social reminding Canadians that PM Carney’s efforts to reduce our reliance on the US by diversing 🇨🇦’s trading partners possibly opens doors for new businesses but also does so for existing businesses which may be struggling.

Before Carney’s speech and Trump’s fiasco at the WEF annual meeting Trump was all in favour of a Canada/China deal. Funny how his opinion changed after he was embarrassed while in Davos Switzerland.😂

We are just having a “normal” Winter’s day here in SW Ontario with a windchill feeling like -6ºF & it’s snowing & blowing (we were at ~-12F at 6:30am)
Fortunately, some 30km SW of London Ontario we’ve not had as much snow as those that distance North of London where many of their roads are closed

…and the POTUS continues to use the term “global warming” twelve months of the year rather than using the term “climate change” to properly reflect the results of it, regardless of what extremes it may cause such as higher or colder temps, worse storms, rain excesses or shortages, etc.

He keeps saying Canada is ungrateful for all the US had done for us & doubts NATO would back the US if they “gave them (NATO) a call”.
Canada & other NATO countries have been there even when the US started the problem!
Talk about ungrateful!!🤬 (selective memory or its gone altogether)

Jennings: “Don’t be upset about something so unimportant.”
Trump: “Epstein…why are you still talking about him?”
Trump & his minions have tried & are trying to make the “Epstein thing” unimportant but everyone SHOULD be upset about what is being done about horrific things that have been done.

Every time I see a pic of a Tesla truck, or see it on the street, I can’t help but be reminded of when the Ladas first came to Canada.😂
The current Chinese cars certainly do not remind me of a Lada or the Tesla truck.

The first response to this was that someone within the Ukraine government could have leaked this to the Russians.
I would think the strategic info was only shared within Zelenskyy’s inner circle & I personally doubt the leak was from within.

I’m sure you can imagine the responses to this back on the other platform, with the praises of Trump with the vitriol & bigotry towards immigrants. The racism & hatred in the US was/is very evident in the responses & they see no downside.
