Yep, you can do anything, when you're the (criminal) President of the USA. Nobody can stop you. Or at least, nobody will...

I'm one of those Karens who comments when the person beside her in the produce aisle reaches for the American berries. "Those are American, you know...you really wanna buy from the fascist regime?" It's amazing what you can say when you're a borderline little-old-lady...

I dunno why it shocked me to this degree - the fact that anyone would choose to watch the videos of the murder of Renee and Alex and others - that's shocking enough. I guess there's something so disgustingly backward and medieval about setting this up as entertainment. Come one, come all! Horrible.

The news from the States that it's broadcasting an execution just leaves me reeling. Setting aside whether capital punishment should be allowed, surely we are above slathering crowds watching hangings and guillotinings? What have we become, that anyone would watch a publicly-sanctioned snuff film?

From my son, a Toronto refugee lawyer: a former client arrived with thank-you card&flowers. Her daughters are now in university instead of being deported to a country where they had no safety and no rights. Canadian refugee protection law was gutted by Bill C12, but the lawyers fight on.

“A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada…” Can we stop both siding this yet? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Insulin was discovered in Toronto in 1921. Before that, people died. These parents should be jailed. In Canada, the crime is called "failure to provide the necessities of life." There's also "criminal negligence causing death." It doesn't matter who your imaginary friend is. LOOK AFTER YOUR KIDS.

Wait times increasing, as Ontario government privatizes surgeries and imaging! Alberta's doing the same. The Fed are doing nothing to enforce the Canada Health Act.

I understand that she is now claiming it was sarcasm, but the problem with being sarcastic when you've been THAT stupid in the past, is that nobody's gonna get it.

I can't believe this is an article in an allegedly-legitimate news journal. What the actual f*** are you writing? The world is a dumpster fire, and you're talking about... Coffee at job interviews? You're nuts.

My mother survived measles as a little girl in 1930. She was deathly ill for a month. Others in the district died. She died last year at age 100. Right up until she died, she still got her "shots." As did her children.

Ask my son, the refugee lawyer who has to fight tooth and nail to get refugee protection status for his clients. Trump is posting this to feed racist right-wing anti-Immigration canadians a crock of shit. Which they will eat up.

It looks warm, but it's actually about 15 degrees Celsius here on our little lake in ontario. It's several weeks early to be closing up but we're choosing to do it now, because this is a bit cold even for canadians. In september. The dog is disappointed.
