Aaron Gunn and Andrew Lawton playing at being parliamentarians is disgusting.

A lot of Gen X folks have serious survivor bias.

I don't think the RCMP or the Canadian Armed Forces are salvageable at this point.

It is far easier to establish new organizations with new, intentional cultures than it is to try and fix what has been broken since their inception.

Our society's increase in mental health issues is due to living in a society that is incompatible with the human animal.

I've decided I'm going to stop Rick Rolling people, and I'm going to start Adams Annoying folks instead...

He wants our oil, our water, and our Northern coast.

This was never about the border.

I still think we should ban the publishing of horse race polls during the writ period.

Christian Nationalists are intent on remaking America into their own twisted version of a theocracy.

Canada needs to prepare to accept 2SLGBTQIA+ folks seeking asylum.

There needs to be a "Please, dear God, not Ruby Dhalla" option on the ballot.

His name in 15th-century Genoese was Cristoffa Corombo, in Italian, Cristoforo Colombo, and in Spanish CristΓ³bal ColΓ³n.

Do you see a "u"?

Americans live is an bubble of ignorance so larger they can't even see it.

I'm pretty clear on my first vote.

I guess my second choice is between the banker and the journalist...

Not that my vote is likely to mean much coming from a Surrey riding...

Christians arguing about which brand of Christianity is or isn't "Christian" while the world burns is the least Christ-like thing folks can do...

Christ's message was not one of nation building.

Christian Nationalism is antithetical to Christ's message.

A lot of Albertans are very invested in the notion that having to play by the same rules as the rest of us is oppression.

Crombie's statement was the latest. Every time something shitty happens, there is a politician there to claim that the act was outside the character of Canada.

It wasn't. It isn't. This is who we are.

I am so sick of the "Canada is better than this..." narrative.

No. We are not.

If we were, it wouldn't be happening.

I can't believe I'm writing this.

Doug Ford should run for Liberal Leader.

He would win.

I am also feeling compelled to mention that if your family and friends all have access to the same book, book ciphers are pretty easy.

May I recommend my friend Keith MacKenzie 's book?

For no particular reason I feel compelled to mention that you can purchase quite a few drone parts from China relatively cheaply.

Since the best defence is a good offense, which US city should wake up to JTF 2 if Trump shifts from economic to other forms of pressure?

Dear Canadians

Apparently, North Korea has been sending poop balloons across their southern border to... annoy... their neighbours.

Do with this information what you will.

A black and tan dog

I pulled the new bag of dog food into the kitchen.

I popped out to the garage for ten minutes. It turns out these new dog food bags are not nearly as durable as our old brand.

Camilla figured out how to get the bag open.

We have two very happy dogs.

I think there were a group of us who believed the LPC should be an independent, volunteer led, riding focused campaign engine that is firewalled from caucus and the PMO.

Team Trudeau chose a different path.

I feel that those chickens have found their home in which to roost.

So many of my... Discussions... On X tend to end abruptly with "oh, you're a he/him" and then a block.

Having pronouns in your bio is like wearing a right wing asshole repellant. It's great!
