Canadian mom, explorer of ideas, married to my childhood sweetheart. I love travel, good food and laughing with friends. I’ll try not to make this political (but everything is political).

Today I was sent an invoice from my doctor because the pharmacy requested a refill for a prescription that I have taken most of my life. Since when is it acceptable for doctors to direct bill patients for prescription refills in Ontario?

I am begging Prime Minister Carney to build this nation on green energy and not fate us to summers on fire 🔥. More fossil fuel development is irresponsible and will destroy this country.

I’ve decided to pause my social media diet during Lent. It is going to be hard, because I really enjoy and appreciate many people on here, even if I am not super active. Now I gave a few days to think about how I will fill the gap.

Do Americans really think they will be able to vote again in four years? Unfortunately, that’s not how dictatorships work. I understand that we all need hope, but it might be a good time to start fighting back.

I am seeing American claiming that Canada wants to assume California. I know Elizabeth May joked about this, but honestly, even the bluest states are far too red (especially outside the cities). No thank you.

It is astonishing how many people still think “logic” and “reason” apply when talking about Trump. Isn’t it obvious that he is an emotionally led idiot (and puppet)?

Should Canada have publicly funded elections? No fundraising and every registered party gets an equal budget? It would solve a few problems; but could it work?

When thinking about Trump, maybe we need to ask ourselves, “what would Putin want?” Trump is attacking Canada (or his own people) with tariffs. Maybe, instead of retaliating in kind, we should beef up our support of Ukraine while strengthening our economic ties with the EU.

I hate when politicians treat the public like children (worse, we fall for it every time). They give us a little job like recycling or buying Canadian but then they don’t do the work that we as individuals need them to do to fix the systemic problems in ways that would have a true impact. 1/
