Just heard about Valddy - I didn’t have the game on!! 🥳 I got an out-of-context text from hubby, “He finally did it!” I knew. 😂🧢⚾️
So far, Canadians have made a distinction between everyday Americans and the Trump regime. We've welcomed US tourists. But more of this, and that attitude will change.
Adam@adamundefined.com · 3d agoThis American group apparently flew to Halifax yesterday. I’m not sure why you would want to visit a place just to be shitty and disrespectful to the people who live there.
You can tell a lot about someone’s character by how they feel about the government providing free school breakfasts for children.
If you have a pet that sometimes snags your clothes, or if you're clumsy like me, I've found Dritz Snag Nab It to be very useful. It's a needle with rough grooves on the tail end. Push the needle through the cloth and it'll pull the snag to the fabric's underside, where it will be hidden.
“Yes, Canada is a generous, open country and Canadians are tolerant and kind. But never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness.” — Jean Chrétien, speaking at 9/11 commemoration in Gander, N.L.
"The mainstream media, is, unsurprisingly, not covering itself in glory as it struggles to avoid saying that either the president’s brain has completely left the station or that he’s a mendacious liar who knows no bounds, or both."
The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure
It’s not “disputed.” He’s delusional.

Rob Hoadley@robhoadley.bsky.social · 4d agoThe real story of 9/11 were the regular people who stepped up and became heroes. People like Mark Bingham, a former national rugby champion at Cal. He had just opened a second office for his business in New York. He died on Flight 93 after helping organize passengers to retake the aircraft.
remember that time 25 years ago when the United States had a terrorist problem and Canada landed the diverted flights and took everyone in and gave them food and shelter? would we do it again now? We probably would, yeah. 🇨🇦
25th anniversary of the terrible attacks. 25th anniversary of Canada showing our absolute best selves. I've pulled together some of the stories of Operation Yellow Ribbon on datawazo.com/yellowribbon
Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.
Trump lunges toward and growls at a reporter (a woman) who asked him about why he's offering money to voters if his economic policies are working (Andrew Harnik/Getty)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoQ: On the checks, we have $40t in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? T: I'm doing it as a reward for having to put up w/Biden Q: You also offered tariff refunds-- TRUMP: Not you Q: And that didn't happen T: You're the worst

You know who really did show up? Canadian police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel came to NYC, on and off duty, traveling independently or in groups to stand with Americans and help shoulder the enormous burden of recovery and cleanup at Ground Zero. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
People say cats aren't affectionate but they will literally wake themselves up to follow you to the bathroom to make sure you're okay.
You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.
Wise words from a 92‑year‑old former Canadian PM. While some countries invest in solar, green energy and smart trade deals, Trump’s big moves are more tariffs, more wars, and renaming lakes, states and gulfs. Cool.🙄 #cdnpoli #USpoli #JeanChrétien
PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · last wk.Jean Chrétien: "It looks like they don't know what to do. When your big thing is to change the name of a lake, it's because you're running out of arguments. It is a very weak gesture, to be cheap and nasty. Lake Ontario is not suffering. It's a lake." #cdnpoli
A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.
I can’t wait for the timeline where we treat sports & online gambling the way we treat smoking now. You can do whatever you want, but we won’t have to watch 18 commercial per hour for it
SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)
«Resistance in the face of bad faith may or may not be effective, but it's never pointless It extracts cost on the abuser, builds resilience in weaker party. Self-respect. Capacity for action Resistance is the only cure to learned helplessness, the muscle that'll demonstrate what we are capable of»

Seems bad for the leaders of an extremely powerful country to be convinced that absolutely every international interaction is a zero-sum game that they must win through superior strength and hostility.
Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...
What Darline Graham’s Ugly, Viral Outburst About Death Really Reveals
The senator’s parents died when she was a kid. That’s tragic. But it’s also tragic that she’s against the kind of care that could help untold numbers of people avoid that fate today.
