Ahhh, high school Latin. Loved it! Still do. :-) Latin has mysterious and delightful ways of saying things which in English, might not be acceptable by many. So ... a bit of Latin (or mock Latin) for the Incumbent in the White House. "Podex Perfectus Es!"

So, DJT, Canadians are 'nasty' are we, DJT? www.youtube.com/shorts/oOGiY... Depends on the meaning of the word.Yes, some times. OTOH, as I understand the meaning of the word, you and your minions, DJT, are always nasty: N — Narcissistic A — Arrogant S — Self-serving T — Threatening Y — Yappy

In Canada, “nasty” is just pride with the gloves off.

25 years ago today, a day known simply as 9-/11. If you don't remember 9/11. If you were a child or not born in 2011. If you don't know the story of Flight 93, check my FB page. May such a terrible event never happen again. Vote as if your life depends on it. Because it might. Never forget 9/11.

Dolly Parton made a difference in this world. She modelled compassion, selfishness, generosity, kindness and joy, all wrapped up in delightful creativity and talent.This world is better because of her, for so many reasons. Two handmade cards made to remember her. Rest in peace, Dolly - & thank you.

DJT thinks he can name Lake Ontario. Such ignorance! Again!! My heart continues to ache for the people of the US who know exactly the kind of leader DJT is & are now caught in the crosshairs of the fascist agenda of DJT. Don't give way to that fear dear Americans. It's what DJT etc. want.
