10 years ago. Soon to follow: MANY unsuccessful attempts to get tickets for the final show. We ended up watching on the big screen at Picton Mustang Drive-in, where entrance was by donation to Sunnybrook Cancer Centre. Laying in extra tissues now in anticipation of a shortage on August 22. 😢🦈🎩

Memories from Budapest. Following a morning guided bus tour, and time to explore Buda Castle, I returned to the site of Shoes on the Danube, which I'd seen from the bus, and when I learned it was only a couple hundred metres from our ship, had to go for a closer look.

Yes, I filled it up before I put my elbows, and my wrist, up. The vintage pilsner glass supporting an Olympic games. Unfortunately I can't remember which games: I don't think Petro-Canada properly cautioned these shouldn't go in the dishwasher because the logo will wash off.

On Justin Trudeau's last day, I'll share a special personal memory. On the first day of the last election, he made a campaign stop here. The local Liberal volunteers lined up to greet him and support our local candidate, whose sign I was holding in one hand, and my phone for pictures in the other.

DoFo has called an unnecessary election, costing a couple hundred million$ that could have been better spent (Ya think???) He's likely rubbing his hands with glee at the particularly horrible winter we've been having weather-wise, bc if nobody votes, he wins. He. Must. Go 👉 smartvoting.ca

I've just joined with this idea. This is a safe con riding, although it has gone Liberal a couple of times. The key is to work together against Ford and Poilievre. @coopr84canada.bsky.social

BREAKING: Elon Musk is reportedly furious people keep calling Tesla vehicles “swasticars.” ( @thehalfwaypost ) So, definitely don't spread it.

Looking at headlines last night: "Ontario sending firefighters and equipment" "Alberta sending firefighters and equipment" "British Columbia sending firefighters and equipment" Trump? Sending derision and accusations. Canadians show up, Trump can shut the fuck up.

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold. A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot. "You give that man shit," she says. Then walks away. That's Canada. The criminal might buy off porn stars. He will never force Canada to bend.

I am soooo disappointed with John Fetterman. I've been admiring him for years; was terrified when he had the stroke; pulled for him when he checked himself into mental health care. Well, seems that last bit didn't work out after all.

Bravery. Resilience. Freedom. Syrians everywhere deserve the joy and peace they’ve been denied for decades. Since the 1960s, the oppressive rule silenced millions, robbing countless lives. These losses are wounds that never fully heal. We’re praying stability, democracy and peace.
