I’ve been boycotting Esso since the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. I hold long grudges.

We had Baltimore orioles at the feeder this morning. First sightings this year.

Helpful list from the CBC on which ridings remain too close to call. Liberals would need to flip 4 of these without losing any other seats in order to get to a majority. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"I'm not informed about the issues."
Talk to people you trust.

"Trump is joking."
He's absolutely not.

“The polls say...”
The polls don't matter.

"The parties are all the same."
They're absolutely not.

“It doesn’t matter who wins."
It matters very much to someone you care about.

European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

The NYT just dropped a bombshell: a foreign spa company with one location and no cash landed a 95-year sweetheart deal—based on misleading claims and a secretive, preferential process.

This gov't was elected to protect Ontario. Do the right thing. Cancel the deal.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

The whole “going after charities” thing sounds like environmental groups are going to be in the firing line again. And perhaps reproductive rights groups.

I've been predicting this one for a while. The good news is that all the books published and sold through reboundpress.com are completely manufactured in Canada and are tariff free!

IMO, Mark Rutte isn’t off to a very impressive start as the NATO leader.

Yes, that’s was I suspect. I just hope it doesn’t escalate to even worse behaviours.

Hey folks a lot of you are sharing big blocks of text on coloured backgrounds with all sorts of big claims/news and yet providing no link to any actual source.

This is how propaganda & disinformation spreads.

Provide sources. It's absolutely critical

And alt text because almost none of you are.

Opinion: Finding food-security opportunity in growing tariff chaos Donald Trump’s tariff roller coaster has been a stark wake-up call for Canadians, exposing an urgent need to diversify trade and reestablish local production and supply chains.

My column: A Montreal company is building greenhouses on unused building rooftops. They now grow 200,000 vegetables per week. Their newest greenhouse is on a Walmart. If this was done just to Walmarts, Canada would cut its annual vegetable imports by 15%. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

I thinks she’s going to have a very big role in the next government. You’re right, she is the future.

You should live in a country that shares a border with his. It’s just a laugh riot every day.

In Denmark 🇩🇰 we have a massive movement boycotting everything from USA. Some of our shop chains are with us and marking products so that we can avoid US origin ones. Also, Canadian made products are high in our purchase list. We got this. 🇩🇰🇨🇦

I am going to get my act together and fully migrate to BlueSky. I want to use all social media to promote my book. There's no point doing this much work and let it be lost inall the noise. People need to know it exists, then make the choice of whether to buy and read it.
I'm grateful for any shares.
