I'll file this under #WhoCares since we are actively boycotting the USA. We are no longer Florida-bound snowbirds in February/March and we will not even accept flights with layovers in the USA on our way elsewhere. www.thestar.com/business/yes...

Canadian snowbirds warned: that bottle of Ontario wine or whisky could be seized at the U.S. border
Trade lawyers and snowbird group say Trump’s ban is absolute — and paying duty at the border won't get your bottle through.

Opinion: It’s about time Smith got caught in her own trap, writes Gillian Steward in her latest column. Pushing separation while at the same time pretending to be a federalist was never going to work. She’s been doing it for so long now voters have had a chance to see through the ruse. Read more:

Telling Iran to take out LA or San Diego is about as an unhinged statement a American president could possibly make. I wish he would get the hell out of our lives.

I was born and raised in Stratford. Teenage me hated that. Adult me thinks it’s pretty f***ing great. To be included on this cool mural by Shane Drever meant more to me than my adolescent self would ever admit. Gosh, it feels good. Thank you Downtown Stratford and all who made this happen.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

Horrifying! And yet another reason why I despise AI and refuse to use it. I wish it could be disabled on every device and platform I use. I absolutely do NOT want AI ever to be the default search mechanism. (I add -ai to any search terms I use to prevent it when I can.)
