And yet if another 38 planes were forced to land in Gander, Canadians would be there to help yet again. It’s what we do.

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate

You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

Why Canada Isn't Sweating Trump's Mob Tactics For months, Trump has railed against Canada, threatening to turn America’s neighbor into the 51st state β€” but the U.S. still has a treaty with Canada.

"In hockey, the term for what Carney is doing is called β€œragging the puck.”"

"The most important thing Canada is showing the world is to not laugh in the face of Trump’s idiocy β€” and to let the clock and his power run out."

It’s stunning but it will cost you a small fortune. Worth it for a bucket list item, though.

I don’t mind flying but I really wish we had a better, more affordable train system in Canada. I’d love to take a train across the country.

One thing to think about, as @edtubb.bsky.social always notes: Trump never threatens to make Mexico the 51st state. He wants Canada.

If anything, legacy media excused the nazi salute as a β€œweird gesture” and in no way tried to cancel him. That was just in his paranoid, ketamine-infused brain. What a fucking, pathetic tool.

If Mark Carney is chosen leader of the Libs, the next federal election will be between -
A former Governor of the Bank of Canada & the Bank of England, who prevented the cdn economy from crashing in 2008
&
Poilievre who told us to buy bitcoin because he watched a Youtube video, then bitcoin crashed

Sometimes I have to remind myself that when the ills of the world (mine personally and the world at large) are dragging me down, there’s always a T. Kingfisher novel to ease me through it. Life is so much better with a good hearted Paladin at your side.😊
