Thanks for posting this info! Oliver Spanner (pictured) was my great-grandfather. He adored James Fleming and named his son "Oliver Fleming Spanner", brother to my grandfather Albion Herbert (Bert) Spanner. The taxidermy business stayed in the family until the 1960s - sold to Cliff McCutcheon.

As a Canadian who is also under attack from your president, please know that we recognize that there are good and decent Americans (yourself included). Elbows up. β€οΈ

CBC reported today that Poilievre has sunk to a new low, criticizing Mark Carney's "banker's haircut". Really Pierre? You want to go there? #IDU #Carney2025 #Poilievre #ElbowsUp4Carney

Doug will never get PP's job as he cannot speak a single word of French. It's pretty much mandatory, so don't fret. In truth, he cannot even master the English language.

On two occasions I have written to CBC complaining of her lack of "neutrality" and lack of journalistic integrity, be it what comes out of her mouth or body language. She is just plain rude.

You are perplexing. For all your knowledge and experience in analysing the political arena do you really think Mr. Carney should play nice? It is an election campaign. I think we are adult enough to know what is meant by "Americans" vs your splitting-hairs diagnosis. Stop clutching your pearls.

I'm pretty vigilant about fact-checking. I went to Julia Davis's bluesky account and could not find this post. I'd love to believe it given I hate Trump and all he represents, but I don't understand why it is not there? Anyone? Or am I missing something??

Yes. The Hollywood film "Idiocracy" was a premonition.

Hey @fordnation why is London contributing over $65 million to the Ontario Place MegaSpa in downtown Toronto? Iβll be supporting a party in the election who will cease the MegaSpa lease & reopen the Science Centre! #onpoli

Some media outlets dismissed it as just a "Roman Salute", not even considering that the Romans were also an authoritarian regime of pagan loving slave owners who used the military to crush enemies & engaged in wars of conquest until they could no longer bear it & collapsed. Kinda like Adolf Hitler.

Point taken. But in our Canadian political system the provinces are responsible for natural resources. Don't point the finger at our federal government (Angus is a federal MP) but point the finger instead at Alberta and right-winger Danielle Smith who support the oil industry.

The new Edsel. They won't allow it in Europe because it is so unsafe. Musk had opened a Tesla factory near Berlin, hence Musk's support for the fascist AdF party in Germany who is pro-deregulation.
