THIS WEEK ON TGS: We’re joined by the absolutely delightful Anabel Maler @amaler.bsky.social to discuss a guy you’ve definitely learned about - just maybe not this part of his whole deal.

My two-year-old daughter woke up in the middle of the night and didn’t know where I was, so she started crying “Where’s my beautiful mama??!” 🥲🥲
It feels good to be able to cast my vote in a federal election in my home country again. It feels especially good to exercise my rights as a Canadian citizen on a day when the White House has reiterated its desire to annex my country. Elbows up 🇨🇦
I’m not crying, you’re crying ❤️🇨🇦

Actual roll up the rim cups are back babyyyyyyy I’ve never felt more patriotic as a Canadian 🇨🇦 🍁

Bought a copy of @amaler.bsky.social 's book, Seeing Voices, and it's mind-blowing.
