I broke up with a guy who asked me to go for a drive to ‘talk’ The more I said no the faster and more recklessly he drove, me screaming at him to slow down. Then he said it was my fault because I hit him. Dude, I was being flung around because of your driving. All women have stories like this. 🤷‍♀️

And they are running these…plants…in order to lie to me, to you, to everyone, while they burn the fuel and poison the water. JFC. I would ask how stupid are we but some will take that as a hold my beer moment… 🤯😑

Well I have received an actual ‘Nigerian Prince’ letter (yes I’m old) and now I have just received a ‘sex-tortion’ email. My scam bingo card is full? Why are people so disgusting? Don’t answer. I don’t actually want to know.

When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

In my effort to not buy US stuff, I found a Canadian supplier for the jigsaw puzzles I like, made in Europe. Turns out they were cheaper than the same puzzles via Amazon, I got a discount AND free shipping. They even accept e-transfers. I will be back. 😁

For decades my taxes were not ‘simple’ so I scraped up the $s so I could pay an accountant. Small business. Two employees (female). Now my taxes *are* simple but I’m in a position to keep paying them to do mine and spouse’s taxes, so I do.

It’s kind of shocking that Dutch people are trying to destroy Canada. Like, what did Canadians do to them that they would want to damage us so much? (Side eyes the tulip gardens in Ottawa…)

The US regime doesn’t understand one simple thing. The boycott was initiated by the citizens of Canada. We are not gasping to have a Beam. Even if the province DID start buying US booze most of us would leave it on the shelves. #never51

A big shout out to Howard Lutnick for reminding Canadians why we hate MAGA and love to boycott all things USA. If he thought his insults would make us obediently come back to the table then he is truly an idiot. Lutnick - you suck. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Howard Lutnick, YOU SUCK
Perhaps you’ve seen the comments from U.S. trade negotiator Howard Lutnick, who insulted Canadians on the eve of the CUSMA trade agreement?

And this is why I ‘support’ PMMC. No, I’m not happy with everything that is happening. But he’s not, at least, plotting to harm me just because he can. I will keep writing my letters to remind him of the things I feel are important. You should, too….. ✍️

If the US wants to see an improvement in Canadian tourism, it would also help if Canadians weren’t worried that they might disappear into a Gulag every time they try to cross the border

Or Canada can find somewhere else more pleasant than the current regime of the USofA to spend its time and money on. Slam the door in our faces and we can find another door. One a lot more welcoming than the current regime… 🤷‍♀️

Just got asked if weavers have to have labels on their textiles. Yes, if you are selling. Textiles are regulated by federal gov. Go to the gov of Canada website and look them up. Look them up even if you aren’t selling, just so you make good decisions.

I know you are overwhelmed by all the bad news of late, but, nevertheless, you should be aware that the CDC is warning about an increase in infections of a drug-resistant infection that can cause severe diarrhea, which unfortunately is just more truly shitty news.

So tired of PP bleating about how everything is broken and 3 word slogans. His constant stream of anger and negativity and not so hidden support for maga policies and the loose cannon are exhausting. Still hoping old time Cons take their party back. 🤷‍♀️.
