Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year Is ‘Cloud Dancer’

Drum roll please.... The Pantone colour of the year for 2026 is...white. 🤔https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/style/pantones-2026-color-of-the-year-cloud-dancer.html?unlocked_article_code=1.6E8.iJhX._9sEMzCu39ln&smid=bs-share

Sadly politics has become a bit of a blood sport.

This is going to be quite fascinating to watch. I imagine David Eby is considering a snap election.

Me too...

Same.

Opinion | I Went to an Anti-Vaccine Conference. Medicine Is in Trouble.

"A man shared test tubes filled with what looked like sleek strands of lard. He said they were clots of tissue pulled from the clogged arteries of corpses of people who had died from Covid vaccines." They walk among us. ☹️

I've done a lot of thinking about that too.

Good luck to you... I did it twice, and all I can say is - remember that self care is important.

Trump quietly holds off on Canada tariff increase The president announced in late October he was increasing duties on Canadian goods in response to Ontario's anti-tariff TV ad.

So... all fire and brimstone?

Agreed... still hard, but lessons learned can be applied to the next journey.

So true.

Opinion | ‘We Had No Idea What Was Coming’: Caring for My Aging Father

I know first hand how parenting your parent can be a journey that none of us is quite prepared for. It's a fragrant stew of joy, grief, loss and confusion mixed with occasional bizarre & even amusing moments. If you're on that journey... good luck & take care. 🙏

Ukraine Faces ‘Difficult Choice’ Over U.S. Plan to End War, Zelensky Says

I'm so sad for the people of Ukraine who have been let down in spectacular fashion by the US President. Trump could have ended this nonsensical war months ago. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/w...

I'm starting to feel more confidence that the walls are closing in on this particularly shameful President & his administration - and I'm encouraged by federal judges acting as a firewall and final guard rail.

Maybe @consumersos.bsky.social could help?

Lordy - I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being a kid (or teacher) watching your classmates being mauled by an enraged grizzly.

Same.

The question that was asked was whether there was anything “incriminating.” The fact that he had to attack the reporter so intensely suggests that something(s) in his mental rolodex are immediately coming to mind that he knows is bad but he can’t stop it

This is unprofessional, ignorant, misogynistic, undignified, unhinged, bullying behaviour coming from a man who is supposed to be a world leader. It's disgusting and it's time the media calls him out for this low brow, childish and demeaning behaviour.

Liberal government survives confidence vote on federal budget

No. A neighbour's things are theirs and cleaning up after a pet is part of the responsibility of ownership. If they don't want to carry the bag home, don't get a dog. I've also never understood why people think it's okay to walk their dog three houses over to use the bathroom. Apply the Golden rule.

Can you throw dog doo-doo in someone else’s garbage bin? The debate over the ‘politics of poop’ City bylaws. Vigilante justice. It’s an age-old debate that gets neighbours up in arms. “The politics of poop,” one dog owner said, “are intense.”

Is it okay to throw your dog poop in your neighbour's garbage can? How about carrying it home and throwing it in "your" garbage bin? 💩
