Actually, I think you just trust Vivaldi with your data. :-) which in itself isn't bad..but an important distinction to make nonetheless.

I know this isn't much of a comfort, but understanding of ASD has progressed. When I was diagnosed nesrly 30 years ago, it nearly killed my development as a human being; everybody understood the label, but nobody (not even teachers or doctors) understood how to help me.

I don't know about anyone else: but I'm afraid. Not because of what the military can do...but mostly because of how much damage the trump administration has done to the world around us. And my respect for said administration is absolute zero.

While it's a great idea... just wanted to point out this....

Actually ... He only put out *some* of the fire (everybody but Canada, China and Europe). So, he temporarily saved the living room and bedrooms..but is currently toasting marshmallows in the kitchen.

I cannot believe I am actually seeing Trump / the WH arguing against returning an unlawfully deported man.... by using the "Yup, we made a mistake, but he's outside our reach now, so *shrug*" defence. #idiots

I find this very sad, but also very silly - citizen status or not, if you have a family connection that *actually knows* the struggles in the country of their heritage, and the effort it takes to immigrate... then you know EXACTLY what you're doing to everyone being deported. More than most, even.

Personally, I don't believe the "Didn't see it coming" line. OF COURSE they saw it coming - they just chose to live in denial, call people names rather than come to terms with it. No sympathy or empathy for them, I'm afraid.. not this time.

I'm hereby refusing to participate in April Fool's this year... Because real life right now (for everyone) is too much like one big prank as it is..

Dude treats his employees like garbage... literally calls people he doesn't like "retards", "paedophiles" and "criminals"... tells a sovereign nation they "aren't a real country".... and lays off workers without learning what they actually *do*. And he asks why people hate him? Queue sad violin.

The year is still young :-) and...how many times has that administration said they won't do something.. and ended up doing it anyways?

Just learned (well-relearned) that ALL Viagra (literally - ALL of it) is exclusively made in Ireland. This brings new meaning to the sentence "America is getting stiffed by Tariffs"... #tradewar #tariffs #EU #idiot

I was born here, as were my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents before me - and, thanks to some of my ancestors - some of my family tree dates back thousands of years. I have always known my land to be Canada, and to me IT WILL ALWAYS BE CANADA. Eff Off.

NEVER take our politeness - NOR our willingness to promote mutually beneficial cooperation in the world... as a sign we're pushovers. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Not sure why this would be a surprise, even with how backwards that nation is - they still produce vehicles for their high-ranking military and VIPs - just not the general public. That, and they share a close economic relationship with China.

Moved two of the three domain names I manage from GoDaddy (Headquarters: Arizona/Texas) to Hostpapa (Headquarters - Toronto, Ontario πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦), completing my task of divesting over 90% of my IT infrastructure, consumer IT products and services away from the US. Doing my part for #Canada #EffTrump

For some reason, whenever I hear the song "Jessie's Girl" - my kind thinks "Jessie's Squirrel". I'm weird..

To be fair, there ARE cities/towns in the US called "Ontario"... one of them is Ontario, California. (whomever posted this is still dumb).

*oops* - there's also quite clearly the first two letters of "LCBO" visible in the window. So, yes - Ontario.

If you look at the sign on the window, it's clearly in English.. while the text on each of the store aisles is English first, French second. Add that to the fact it's using LCBO's colour scheme, and it's clearly in Ontario. :-) My money is somewhere here in Ottawa.

I have an easy time sympathizing with anyone who didn't vote for the current administration - BUT - his supporters knew what sort of person he was before putting him in a SECOND time, so... I absolutely blame them (partially) for enabling the WH to do these things to us. I think that's fair.

What would you suggest we do? Bend over and take it like good little Canadians? We have no ability to stop it.. unfortunately it's "you hurt us, we hurt you". Only Americans have the power to stop Americans.
