Bought my favourite serum (vivierskin.ca C E Peptides) from superiorskin.com’s Canada Day sale. What showed up: the product, three samples, a pretty candle, an origami crane, and a handwritten note. Small gesture. Big impression. Proud to #BuyCanadian #ShopLocal 🇨🇦

A Vivier skincare order laid out on a sofa. The items include a white box of C E Peptides serum, three Vivier sample products, a decorative tin candle, a handwritten note in French, and a blue origami crane. Everything is presented on aqua tissue paper with a round “Merci pour votre commande” sticker.

We lost Max. He was with us through lockdowns, life upheaval, and late-night worry spirals. He was our Reset button and work-from-home co-worker. He made me laugh and feel loved every single day. He was the best boy. I’m gutted.

Belting “Defying Gravity” while deep cleaning because nothing says “I can conquer anything” like Elphaba hitting those high notes. What’s your power-cleaning anthem?

Every dollar we spend locally adds up. $5 more a week at a local business might not feel like much — but across a city, or the whole country? It turns into billions. More at powerofone.ca Share this post to turn the power of one into the power of many. 🙏 #BuyCanadian #ChooseCanada #PowerOfOne

Infographic showing how small local spending choices scale. A $5/week shift per person adds up to $260/year — and across cities or the whole country, that becomes billions. Also shows job and wage growth from choosing local goods over imports in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.

Some of our smallest choices are the most powerful: like choosing 🇨🇦-made coffee, shopping local, or picking up seasonal produce. Little swaps keep more money in Canada. More ideas: powerofone.ca SHARE to turn the power of one into the power of many! #BuyCanadian #CanadianMade #ChooseCanada

Illustration showing everyday Canadian spending swaps: shopping at local stores instead of big-box retailers, choosing seasonal produce, local meat, Canadian-made clothing, and coffee from local cafés. Designed to show how simple choices can strengthen the economy.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Is it 1) More reverse psychology hoping this makes us vote PP? 2) Carney scared the crap out of him and made him finally get what tariffs are and what the consequences would be to Americans. What do you think? #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp #ChooseCanada #TeamCanada 🇨🇦

A tweet from an account named 'Donald J. Trump' (@realDonaldTrump) reads:
'I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada. It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'

Mark Carney gives me hope. His impressive economic background and the fact that he’s not a politician make for a very believable package. His delivery isn’t half bad, either. I hope he’s a shoo-in at the election. #MarkCarney #ElbowsUp

I’m feeling really good about this. Carney is exactly the right person for the job. Now let’s focus on building up new global partnerships and intraprovincial commerce. I love to see the way Canadians are uniting. Together we can move mountains. #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong #BuyCanadian #Canada

We just got new data: Our trade partners bought nearly $27 billion in food and other products last year. That’s a massive contribution to Minnesotans who work in our agriculture, mining, and manufacturing industries, and it’s why we can’t risk trade wars with our closest allies.

I was working with the TV on in the background, just now, and overhearing a TV ad. The narrator's voice sounded really familiar, and then it clicked: The narrator was an actor who's voiced several of our videos. This ad was ON CNN. Made me feel pretty proud. #FreelanceFriends

Any suggestions on how to tackle this particular task? 😂

Just watched this interview and was SO impressed with Brianna Keilar, who never took the bait from this condescending, dishonest, manipulative, and reprehensible human. She didn't back down and somehow remained professional when I would have lost it. She def got the better of him. #Badass

So we’ve gotten a little snow in Montreal…

A residential street covered in deep snow with large snowbanks piled up on the sides. Snow-covered houses and trees line the street, and a stop sign with the word “Arrêt” is visible in the distance. Parked cars and trash bins are partially buried in snow, indicating a recent heavy snowfall. The sky is overcast, creating a cold and wintry atmosphere.

Happy #FlagDay, Canada! If you've seen my posts lately, you might not guess that I’ve never been much of a flag-waver. But when our viability is questioned and our sovereignty is at risk, it stirs something deeper—a defiant kind of patriotism. So today, let’s fly those flags high, #Canada!

A woman with curly dark hair and a smile leans over a railing, behind a large Canadian flag. She is wearing a black winter coat with a fur-trimmed hood. The flag is red and white, featuring a stylized maple leaf. Behind her, there is a brick wall and a snowy outdoor setting.
