Canada was set up up in “the hope of peace, order and good government” and for all our bitching and complaining, it usually works. At least well enough to keep government employees and operations funded regardless of what’s happening in Parliament.

Another issue is storage at retailers. In Barcelona, Bratislava, and Oslo some grocers had trolley lock up. lock up trolley, get a key, use store cart for purchases, pay, then retrieve your trolley and load with purchase.

Here have to put trolley in cart which takes up room.

In his most recent art installation, "Poutine Perspective," artist derek van vliet simultaneously reverse engineers and decomposes what is usually a giant, gooey mass of excess dietary vices into healthy food for our brains. Art for austere times.

My Mum was shocked to learn Canada had no such program on arriving here in the 1960s.

This the coolest tradition annually. Nova Scotia sends the Boston Christmas tree, usually a 45ft, every year since 1977 in thanks for its support to Halifax explosion by the city of Boston.

Given Trump’s short-sighted actions regarding tariffs on Canadian imports, and indisputably unhinged military threats…

Mayor Wu’s timely trip to Halifax represents the best of what both countries stand for. Peace and prosperity. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Likewise it is not foreign troops who will save you, but your own collective peaceful protests, national strikes, and boycotts. You must be your own heroes.

Zelenskyy: "Europe fears the word ‘escalation.’ They believe any response is escalation - but Russia sees non-forceful, intellectual responses as weakness."

This is exactly right. We are at war a thug, or a school bully. Give them something and they will demand more!

Transylvania bougie was never so tacky - more sylvan rustic than broke ass bordello.

During President Zelenskyy’s interview at the Mariinskyi Palace, the electricity failed twice.

My father got a job there in the 60s not because he spoke French, but because he spoke English. Family loved Montréal, their first home in Canada.

Hovno pre mozog.

It would work in Toronto, as does the downtown Ikrappa and Crappy Tire. This would also free up road space as people without cars wouldn't be traffic and neither would delivery services.

I order delivery from Costco - no car, live downtown.

A true Canadian Heritage Minute!

And yet they do, particularly in rural areas.

At the abbaye d'ardenne Kurt Meyer and his SS thugs murdered young Canadian soldiers. But the local people turned it into a shrine.They never forgot their sacrifice.
I was honoured to lay a wreathe to those young men.
We will always remember those who stood up to fascist hate.

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

And to keep it at bay here.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.
