Do you love flickering candlelight & achy, swoon-worthy love stories? Me too. Twice a month, I send a little letter with cozy chats about books, nature, cats, and all things comforting. It’s like a warm, bookish catch-up between friends! Join us here: www.michellehelliwell.com/join 💌 #booksky

Canadian Prime Minister–designate Mark Carney: "The Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country. If they succeeded, they would destroy our way of life. In America, healthcare is big business. In Canada, it is a right."

Everytime someone in the US government calls our PM ‘governor’, we should up the tariffs on energy down south by 10%.

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.
