Surprised to log onto a local Victoria radio station poll to see current voting is 79% in favour and 21% opposed to another pipeline. Certainly not a reliable poll, but maybe there is more support in BC than one might think.

Never watched Jimmy Kimmel’s show in my life — ‘til now, but have it set to record twice tonight. Just in case I miss it live.

My favourite family divorce story from the same era is that of my great grandfather’s sister Grace Edwards who had married a man named John Lemon. After he deserted her she sued for and was granted a divorce; the newspaper headline was “Lemon Gets Lemon”.

The ‘self-inflicted injury’ to U.S. tourism that’s making some Americans angry and disappointed Many Canadians have boycotted taking U.S. trips and buying American products since the spring. That’s when President Trump made false claims and belittling comments about Canada in the midst of a tari...

“Off to work” was the theme for this week’s #52ancestors #genealogy #familyhistory story. Gotta love trains, right? victoriajosfamilystories.blogspot.com/2025/08/ive-...

Current American trade practices are even more annoyingly stupid than Monty Hall’s “Let’s Make a Deal” was back in the 80s. Both are game shows but Donald Trump’s version has international real-life consequences.

bonniecritchleyindependent As a sign of our damaged electoral system, and as gross as it is to me to make this post, here we go: Bonnie CRITCHLEY is the Strategic Vote. I am currently in the best position to keep our Representation LOCAL. I will NOT quit in January after a failed CPC leadership review (which will avoid triggering ANOTHER by-election in BR-C) I am not making robo-calls giving voters misinformation, or making mocked up Elections Canada signs or propaganda. I am not under a lifelong compliance agreement with Elections Canada for illegal activities. I will NOT cross the floor to ANY party, as our power to get things done for Battle River-Crowfoot is in being a Swing Vote in a Minority Government. I only stood up for us so that we can keep a voice in Battle River-Crowfoot, instead being a discarded tool for someone else's ego. So I'll say it again, Bonnie CRITCHLEY is the Strategic Vote. If you're not planning on voting in the advance polls, please vote on August 18th. Because THIS IS #OURHOMEOURRIDING

🌍 One World. One Voice.

The call for a worldwide boycott of U.S. goods is more than protest—it’s power in action.

From Canada to Europe, from Asia to Australia, people are saying:
Fair trade. Fair play. No more extortion.

You tell em' Charlie!!

Time to reinvigorate our boycott on travel to the US and purchase of US products. Elbows up!

Normal countries have Trade Agreements. The USA only had deals. Think about it.
