First post here on Bluesky. I want to honour the memory of the best dog ever. Enzo was a certified Therapy Dog who brought so much joy to so many children and families at #SickKids Hospital in Toronto and many other places. He passed away 3 years ago. We miss him every day.
This guy is f@cking insufferable.

I wonder what percentage of the US voting age population is even aware of what happened today in Minneapolis.
What percentage could find Greenland on a map.
What percentage have the faintest clue what international laws were violated in Venezuela.
What percentage will never vote.

Why aren't all the foreign affairs experts connecting the dots? Trump boasts of his lengthy convos with Putin. Trump starts yapping about N & S America being his domain. Putin plants the idea of taking over Greenland without Russian objection, knowing that NATO would crumble if he did. Putin grins.

This Greenland talk isn't about Greenland. It's about Putin pulling strings to destroy the NATO. He's been dreaming of that for 30 years. US military intervention would trigger nothing more than pearl-clutching among NATO members and that would be the end of it.

Attacking Somalis; threatening to escalate land attacks on Venezuela; attacking Gov Walz as "retarded"; deflecting about his health problems; building a ludicrous golden ballroom; the list goes on.
Seems all his distractions have actually succeeded at shoving the Epstein files off the front page.

First week of school in the US and another fucking school shooting. It has to stop. It's not just the accessibility of guns, it's also the lack of sufficient investment in diagnosis, treatment and care, especially for young people who are alone, spiraling into despair, that leads them to do this.

From top to bottom, this Leafs team seemed to lack leadership. Shanaha's vision wasn't enough, Berube fell short as a bench chief, and what a fucked up circus with Tavares ceding leadership to Matthews. This team wasn't missing skill, it was missing leadership and commitment.

Retrofitting the 747 to Air Force standards will take years and cost >$100 million.
Trump will declare that "too expensive", park the plane, claiming that he's saved American taxpayers, then take it with him in 2028, without incurring more costs to decommission it.

Pierre Poilievre lost an election he should have won. He also lost his own seat, which he's held for 20+ years. And now the Conservatives have selected, as interim parliamentary leader, Andrew Scheer, another leader who once lost an election and his party leadership. #CPC is a complete mess.

All three, likely.
Poilievre's promises to green light Ring of Fire projects is not possible without Indigenous consent. This is a critical point. He's either lying, doesn't know what he's talking about, or is willing to move ahead without SCC mandated consent. #Debate2025 #cdnpoli #elxn45 #CanadaSky

I'm probably the last traveler to do this, but finally added air tags to my checked bags (skis and boots) for today's flight YYZ to YVR. Frankly, it's a relief to know it's already in the cargo hold. On my last #AirCanada flight in early March, the skis and boots took two extra days to arrive.

The differences between the main dudes in this upcoming Canadian election, is pretty stark... It's kinda like watching my old guys' hockey. It's all disorganized, amateur-ish and not very entertaining. And then Connor McDavid shows up. #Carney #Canada

Thanks largely to Trump's insane and completely batshit tariffs, the stock market lost $6 TRILLION over the past several days. Nobody can really understand how big that number is. How about this: If that loss was shared by every man woman and child in America, it would be over $17,000 per person.
