Fierce, mean and nasty Canadian, retired graphic designer and painter, dog person, happily married and opinionated old lady.
I was a Trudeaus supporter for many years, although I felt Justin exceeded his “best before” date. But my opinion of both has crashed due to their tasteless publicity seeking - Justin with Katy Perry and Sophie with Canadian Geographic ads that include multiple images of her. Really kids! Grow up!

Earlier today I posted about “Steve Crowe” as being responsible for the murder of Nicole Good. It seems that information was incorrect - the killer has since been identified as Jonathan Ross. I apologize for circulating incorrect info and to anyone named Steve Crowe who was wrongly identified.

Steve Crowe. Why is this man not already behind bars? He is entitled to a fair trial but must be charged and jailed awaiting trial. Likewise for Noem, Trump and anyone else trying to hide the truth.

#Ontario will hold firm on U.S. booze ban at LCBO, says finance minister
It’s a move the government stands by, he says. Asked if full removal of the tariffs was the only condition that would see a U.S. booze boycott lifted in Ontario, he said yes.

I miss being able to paint! I paint standing up but can’t stand for longer than 10 minutes now. Somehow, I need to figure this out.

Yesterday I posted about Voila (Sobey’s) inclusion of non-Canadian produce in its “Shop Canada” section. I notified Voila of the error and requested corrections. This morning, the corrections have not been made so I have filed a product labelling complaint with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The Canadian boycott of US products/services is in response to US disrespect/threats to our sovereignty - not tariffs. The boycott continues, despite attempts to convince us otherwise. So, I am appalled by Voila‘s inclusion of US produce in its “Shop Canada” section. Don’t push your luck, Sobey’s!

Pigs are nice animals - loving, intelligent, gentle and clean. When people use the word, “pig” or “piggy” as an insult, they are revealing their lack of knowledge. But why would anyone be surprised by Trump’s lack of knowledge?

Well, Mr. Snell, you say the Blue Jays’ 6-1 win over the Dodgers was due to ”bad luck” for you and the Dodgers. I suggest you practice developing some grace, professionalism and sportsmanship. Go Jays, go!

I support Ford’s anti-tariff ad. Trump‘s stated goal is to use economic force to bring Canada to its knees. Nothing Trump has said is reliable. What is reliable are the lies, divisiveness, and confusion. Trump jumped on the ad as his next “excuse” for attacking Canada. Do not let it work!

Returning Canadian Snowbirds are experiencing new US regulations for visitors staying more than 30 days - being fingerprinted, photographed, and paying a $30 fee. Some are “insulted”. Perhaps you should join fellow Canadians and support the boycott of US travel and products. Elbows up!

I have struggled with sinus node dysfunction for 20 years. The last couple of months have been very difficult. I have been trying to prioritize what little energy I have. So, I have stopped struggling to make the bed each morning. Guess what? The world has not ended; nor has the health unit called.
