🇨🇦Sandy: No narcissistic leaders!🇨🇦 @sandydz.bsky.social · 9h

I believe that an investigation is warranted to understand why so many of us Ontarians never received the voter card in time to be able to vote early.

#DougFord has been in power long enough to know where and how to manipulate to get what he wants.

He is a true narcissist!

After being handed his third consecutive majority by the clueless voters of Ontario, Teflon Dougie really believes he's untouchable now. He's feeling the wind in his sails and is no longer bothering to hide the corruption. With the opposition in disarray, he's confident he can buy the next election.

The most memorable things a teacher ever said to me is “you are what you do. not what you can do. Not what people think you can do. Not what you think, say, or believe. Who you are is what you actually DO.” Changed me forever.

Dolly Parton released a lovely video today on her Instagram and in true Dolly fashion she explained how she’s doing, that she’s ok, she appreciated the outpouring of prayers and support and even make a joke or two.
She looked amazing too.
God I adore that woman. ❤️🦋

Since I'm almost done Too Many Songs About Cats, I was thinking it'd be fun to put out a mini-album a year, so I went and listed all the comedy songs I've written that haven't be recorded on an Arrogant Worms album yet.
There are over 100.
And yet somehow I never feel like I'm doing enough writing.

Doug Ford’s ‘Captain Canada’ shtick is getting old. Doesn’t he have a province to run?

The Premier could focus on making the province more attractive to businesses. Instead, he’s threatening to pull Crown Royal from the LCBO
