Just a Canuck who wants to support other hard-working Canucks. I am not paid (in any way, including merch). Just sharing things that I think are worth sharing. That includes some pet pics. And encouragement to see Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical 💼

How can I put this so even DumpyTrumpy will undersrand? Hmmm… How about: Fuck all the way off, you overcompensating impotent heap of orange shyte. Please take your equally useless and smarmy family - including Tushner - with you. Thank you for your attention to this matter!  #Ukraine 🇺🇦
AP news story showing the world’s biggest loser who also happens to be the president of the US. 
The geadline is: Trump calls on Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian diesel fuel, saying attacks are causing shortage.

Y’know, for once I agree with #DumpyTrumpy. The US HAS been ripped off for at least 50 years. By Donald J Trump and his family. Hope the #US does something about this terrible scam family. Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Thiel, et al. Hegseth, Vance… sigh. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp #Never51 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
CTV News Headline. 
It reads: Trump says trade deal with Canada could come “fairly soon,” says US has been “ripped off” for 50 years.

SUPERB opinion piece by @charlesspearin.bsky.social in Globe & Mail (available via 🍏 news in Canada). I used to teach (a tad) about Amerigo Vespucci when I taught G5 b/c it’s important to know where names come from. (I’m also a casual etymology nerd in my spare time.) #Ontario #America #Canada 🇨🇦
Screen capture of an opinion piece published today in the Globe & Mail. The headline is “Before renaming Lake Ontario, America should take a look at the history of its own name” and the inage shows Amerigo Vespucci, after whom America is named.

Cleaned out my grandparents’ home years ago + found their their last WWII food stamp booklet + cookbook for making everything w/o eggs (or other hard-to-come-by staples). I think we’ll find a way through even if it’s hard. Better not to give in to the fascism taking over the world. 🇨🇦 #Canada

The US govt is taking issues with people *correcting* maps. Of course it is. Very bad case of intrarrctalcranialitis. #UN #Maps
Headline from an AP news story about changing maps to more accurately reflect Africa’s size. 
Part of the news story pointing out that US voted against the change, the only country to do so. Another section of the news story quoting the US rep to UN saying that changing maps was silly. 

Except, apparently, when their dear leader wants to change something cause it makes him feel special.

These 2 dogs lived many human generations ago and were painted on cookie sheets by a merchant marine ship’s cook and gifted to a long-ago ancestor of mine while they were at sea. They’ve been passed down at least 5 generations. I love that they lived and were so loved. I wish I knew their names.
