I hoped societies might have learned something from the COVID experience - about the importance of front line workers (and the unimportance of CEOs), the benefits of work/life balance, the environmental advantages of not commuting, etc. But no: Those in power will undo all those advances. FFS.

I’m a lifelong enthusiast of modelling railways and have a website that documents some of my journey with the hobby. It includes information a d photos (so many photos) of projects past and present. Here’s the link - enjoy if you visit!

When he finds one, I’ll help him pack. Meantime, I wonder if we’ll see more Conservative MPs jump ship for the Liberals? Is “Floor-crossing February” a thing?

Need to sandbag a flooding river, evacuate towns in the path of a forest fire, or clear mountains of snow so emergency services can save lives? Nothing beats a few hundred people, trained to take direction and work together to get the job done…

Also: if not then, then when? The military is of course associated with combat but its real strength is its ability to deliver an impressive, coordinated response to counter any threat - whether an invading army or a natural disaster.

The city was ridiculed at the time, but it was a life-threatening issue. With more than 100cm of snow burying the densely packed city, fire and ambulance services were unable to get to where they were needed. It was the right call to make.

Remember when Toronto called in the military to clear snow? Here's how this storm compares | CBC News Toronto Pearson Airport recorded 46 centimetres of snow on Sunday — the highest daily snowfall there on record. But it's still not as bad as 1999, the year Toronto called in the military for help.

As eastern Canada digs out from a weekend storm, here’s an interesting article that compares this month’s winter weather to that of January 1999 - the year Toronto called in the army.

Hah! Everyone says that about haggis. It’s basically a sausage.

Leftover haggis? Crumble a cup of it into your macaroni & cheese then bake it.

You’re welcome.

Yeah: Still here. I need to use this channel more.
Carney. Trump. Polar vortex on steroids. It’s been quite a week. Elbows up, eh!

Trump Says Tariffs Will Stay Until Trade Deficit Disappears The president said he would not quickly reverse last week’s steep tariffs, which have sparked pushback and roiled markets.

Never has a leader so unironically expressed the sentiment “The beatings will continue until the morale improves”

MAGA MAPLE: THE DESPERATE BID TO ELECT A MINI-ME TRUMP Conservatives Play the Traitor Card

Canadians are coming together to defend our country and democracy.
Conservatives on the other hand are saying vote for Poilievre or they will break up the country.
Playing the traitor card is not a good look for Canada's Mini Me Trump.
Here's my latest:

Of course Poilievre is standing by a candidate who made despicable comments about Indigenous people.
When people show you who they really are, believe them.

MAGA MAPLE MELTDOWN The Shivs Come Out for Pierre Poilievre

Danielle Smith is Canada's pre-eminent political arsonist.
Even more than Pierre Poilievre.
While Canadians rally together she is gleefully burning the MAGA MAPLE big tent to the ground.

It's time to take the fight for Canada on the road. There is an election looming that will screw up my plans but I am looking to find a way to get out across Canada to build the resistance and help with local teams to be #elbowsup.

Could Trump tariffs cause COVID-19-like run on toilet paper? Leading Canadian producer thinks so ‘This won’t just be a tissue problem,’ says Dino Bianco, the CEO of Kruger, Canada’s largest toilet paper and facial tissue maker

It would be pretty fitting if we ran the United States out of toilet paper. And we could!

Thanks @marshalederman.bsky.social for wondering the same thing I was: How was the Oscar ceremony so shockingly apolitical? www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

48% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s performance as president.

Half of Americans are fine with all of this.

How a president hoping to fund his government with tariffs and possibly annex Canada instead wrecked the economy and set continentalism back for almost a century. Excellent thread.

I think this is the best one yet.

I have been accused of being partisan.
Yup.
Like Gordie Howe I'm "Mr. Elbows" in fighting to hold governments to account.
When a convicted crook in Washington tells me that we have no right to exist as a nation that's when it's time to drop the gloves and teach them a CDN lesson.
