Retired, but not retiring. Proud Canadian, I believe in democracy and fairness for all. Part of retirement is caring for aging parents in a failing healthcare system. It's exhausting. #BoycottUSA #ElbowsUp #Knit #KnitSky 🧶🇨🇦🧘

I remember a photo of Bush Sr sitting next to Osama Bin Laden before he was President. I saw it shortly after 9/11, and it mysteriously disappeared from the internet shortly after. The US has a lot of blood on its hands.

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

We visited their refuge to witness elephant feeding time.
They limit visitors to one small window a day to protect the animals. It was magical. This is a really wonderful organization, and the animals are very well cared for. Highly recommend donating if you are so inclined.

I'm more concerned that there are 70+ million people dumb enough to vote for him...twice.

“BRUISED FEELINGS”!!?? I couldn’t get past the fact that #CNN equates Trump threatening to annex a free country and destroy our economy as a minor issue. Hey #CNN and CEOs all over the US, Canadians aren’t coming back. You voted for a loser and you lost. Good luck with the civil war.

Dear Canada...

Dear Canada... I felt compelled to do something, to make something for my country. To stick up for, and to honour it. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy,…

This is what America revealed itself to be after the non-response to Sandy Point. Everything since then is just another notch in the belt of cruelty.

Wow. It's all so twisted. It's like all those movie script twists and turns were actually based on reality. Hmm.

Wow. That takes family dynamics to a new level. Too many stories like that still.

At Stone Mountain and around, there are these signs about defending their way of life aka “we believe in slavery.” As a Canadian from a multicultural city, the whole thing was shocking.

Visited their once and the area was the most racist place I’ve ever encountered. Couldn’t wait to leave.

Many died waiting for trial. Those doing Trump’s fascist bidding will never know peace again.

Former Nazis were tracked down and prosecuted until the end of their days. I remember stories of some elderly men living quiet lives suddenly being outed and convicted in their 80s. Those stories need to be recirculated for ICE members.

A couple of months ago I would have agreed, but I don’t think America will be back in the same way ever again. Not sure the union will even survive the attack from within. That said, kinda hoping CA goes solo so I can support Napa again.

My husband has a 2018 VW EV. His maintenance cost to date is less than $100. The cost for my plugin hybrid for the last few years is also less than $100.

I thought the whole destruction of Roe was to honour state's rights to decide. Am I wrong about that?

Thank you. When my brother was home and our entire family (wife, kids, parents, sisters) were supporting him through palliative care, his neighbours were unseen angels who kept a flow of food and supplies going for a week. It was such a gift, and I'll never forget it. Support the care givers.

French potato salad is a good side they can pair with anything. It can be safely stored in the fridge for a few days. Also, soups are a good idea. Butternut squash, cabbage based borsch etc.

I was an independent contractor, and for almost 20 years I flew without a net. I was lucky that I didn't have extenuating needs, but I'm not sure what you are going after me for.
