reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Using the phrase 'Trump *denied* Nobel Peace Prize once again' suggests he may have been entitled to it in the first place; to validate his mad desire. Best to just ignore the old man. Or use different phrasing at least. 51518
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 08/10/2026J.D. can't provide a real defence because there isn't one. So, just baffle-gab. 080
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I've been on this earth for more than a few decades, and to still see girls and women judged by these so-called beauty standards, and for them to continue taking such extreme measures, resulting in facial disfigurement, is disheartening to say the least. 020
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You have to wonder what drives women to deform themselves this way. While grotesque looking, it's really quite sad, imo. 130
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Why does anyone even ask the Felon in the White House these questions? The ridiculous non-answer is so predictable. 0100
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 27/09/2026🍁 I wish Medicare was made whole in Canada. Not everyone has a supplemental health care plan (vision, hearing, dental in many cases) through an employer, or can afford it on their own. 120
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Many 🇨🇦 voted for Carney as he was the much better alternative to Poilievre. He's showed smarts & done a great job on the int'l stage w. eloquent speeches & new alliances. I do fear his agenda here. EAs in one year for major projects, arresting seniors for protesting, privatizing airports. Not good. 012
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/09/2026🇨🇦 Wow. I guess that explains a lot. I thought the tide was shifting in these mid-terms.... 110
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/09/2026🇨🇦 I'm also in the lower left green quadrant. Is it a Canadian thing? 120
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Don't let the facts get in the way of Tuberville's unrelenting and unrepentant stupidity.... 020
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yup, Senator Thune, the choices are pretty clear, and it's not the GOP. 012
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 22/09/2026🇨🇦 Definitely not cool. Carney is just another Conservative, with more smarts and eloquence. I think Canadians are losing sight of his domestic policies / actions actions because of his excellent international profile. We can't be blinded by it. Today's arrests = authoritarian move. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 21/09/2026🇨🇦 This move to privatize our biggest airports makes me very angry. There's no case for it; at least none that benefits the average traveller. Carney has been smart and internationally celebrated. We've basked in, and been blinded by, the glow. Time to pay attention to what he's doing in Canada.... 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Prosecutor, and for a short time, Alabama Senator Doug Jones would have been a great pick as AG. If only....(sigh). 011
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 20/09/2026🇨🇦 As a Canadian I am as well, though not thrilled by Carney plans to privatize our biggest airports, now run successfully by non-profits. There's no case for it. I wonder if he thinks we're all so enamoured by his international speeches and stature we'll ignore this. And so far it seems we are. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I sure didn't see the hand either until it was pointed out and even then, it took a few tries. But that's not the first impression. The white gown, in shadow except for a KKK hat shape, plus the dangling feet beside it. It's chilling. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I've often wondered about that as well. (See my above post re. Saskatchewan). 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 19/09/2026SK has been on CST for decades, though geographically in the Mtn Time Zone. So, really DST year-round. Having previously lived in SK for many yrs, I found it much healthier to be on the same time year-round than the out-dated, disorienting ritual of 'spring forward, fall back'. Welcome, Manitoba! 020
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 18/09/2026🇨🇦 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This is a bad idea. Why go from a successful non-profit operation to 'for profit' when somebody always pays and it's usually us, in this case the traveller. Maybe Carney is letting his international success go to his head, and we'll accept anything he proposes. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Looks like Christopher Walken. When he was young. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 16/09/2026🇨🇦 The problem is that all this rain in SK has created lodged and waterlogged crops.

reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Whenever I see Mike Johnson speak, the word oleaginous comes to mind. Constant lying while he looks oh so guileless. And professes to be such a Christian. 080
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The pretzel contortions these apologists for the Felon in the White House go through to defend the indefensible. 020
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 09/09/2026🇨🇦 I am so effing sick of this continuing petulance, harassment and bullying from the White House, which continues with unchecked impunity (until the courts *maybe* get around to trying to stop it, often ineffectually). 040
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 07/09/2026These nauseating and pathetic posts - from a US President no less - are relentless and exhausting. Please make it stop. 😵💫🥺 120

reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I dunno. Farmers have a tendency to vote GOP in spite of how their lives have been wrecked. A couple of weeks ago I saw a post from a farm group in Nebraska concerned about Trump's damaging policies and one comment said 'at least it's not the lady in the White House', or to that effect. 🙄 1130
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I sure hope so! This arch is truly monstrous. Among the other monstrosity's you've noted. 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 01/09/2026🇨🇦 Amazing reporting. When 9/11 occurred, I was on a wilderness canoe trip and didn't learn about the attacks until a few days later. It was very strange and awful to return from experiencing the beauty of the world to confronting this ugliness. 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Thx for this. I just downloaded Vivaldi to my laptop. I already have LibreOffice (works great). I am so *done* with Google ff. bowing down to FOTUS (Felon) re. Lake Ontario on their maps & want to get off gmail. Are there any 🇨🇦 email providers you can recommend? Otherwise, I may go with Proton. 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The way to get workers enthused about their jobs is decent pay and benefits, instead of treatment as slave labour, often for decades. Who wants to continue working under those conditions? Also, us older folks need to make way for a younger workforce. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 30/08/2026At a concert in Toronto last night, Blue Rodeo projected a huge map of Lake Ontario as a backdrop to them on stage. 25513
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 30/08/2026🇨🇦 In Canada, Google maps displays the name of Lake Ontario properly. But bizarre to see it already on Google US maps. Such toadyism by the guys who once said do no evil. 1142
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 30/08/2026🇨🇦 It blows me away the Felon was elected again in 2024. In spite of Dem shortcomings -- Biden should have bowed out much earlier, Kamala was 'anointed' & wasn't a perfect candidate, etc. etc. -- how does the Felon still become the default choice??! Trumpnesia, indeed. And we're all paying for it. 110
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I agree. POTUS's insulting and brain-sick posts have just become so much noise. Instead of the evidence they are of someone profoundly unfit for office. 020
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The complicity with ICE's illegality and brutality runs pretty deep. 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I guess it's easier for the Indiana Rep. to focus on this instead of the real issues facing US voters and families. I mean, really???!!! 170
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The stats in the Health System Tracker are up to 2024. I expect with health care cuts in the Big Ugly Bill, life expectancy in the US could go even lower. Which is a shame, since it doesn't have to be this way.... 011
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 26/08/2026That is weird (il)logic on the part of Darline Graham. Life expectancy in the US is lower than in comparable countries. For instance, Canadians can expect to live 3-4 years longer. www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collec...healthsystemtracker.orgHow does U.S. life expectancy compare to other countries? - Peterson-KFF Health System TrackerThe U.S. has the lowest life expectancy among comparable countries and spends nearly twice as much as them on healthcare per person, on average. 111
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/08/2026This is why, when I had a choice between Moderna and Pfizer for my first Covid vaccine shot, I chose Moderna because of Dolly Parton's involvement. 0220
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Dolly's death is a loss to music. And a loss to humanity. I'm so sad to hear this. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 25/08/2026No surprise the Felon is a golf cheat, and interesting to get the scoop on it, as I don't recall anyone going into such detail before. 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 24/08/2026In response, Carney smartly pointed out today the new (new) tariffs on cars, trucks and steel doesn't send a good signal to workers Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Alabama. Yup, all swing or red states. Note - US farmers are not being ripped off by 🇨🇦 since fertilizer is largely exempt from tariffs. 061
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 24/08/2026🇨🇦 Especially when three-down Canadian football is much more entertaining....🏈🏈🏈 🙂 000
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 24/08/2026🇨🇦 'Canada will be treated like a State no longer!' Good, because we're not a State but a sovereign country. Start treating us like one. 020
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The NY Times article itself is even worse than the headline. Quite the puff piece. 010
reader2809.bsky.social @reader2809.bsky.social · 24/08/2026And yet Ben Affleck's popular movie 'Argo' gave pretty much all the credit to a CIA operative. While there may be truth to his role, the risky Canadian role was definitely underplayed. And now, we get threatened, harassed and bullied by the orange POTUS. 🇨🇦 1111
