We in Canada may be tempted to look away, to be glad California is far away, but this is happening on our doorstep and in a country to whom we are tied in trade, security & culture. We should be paying attention.
There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Hey, Alberta? Can we stop voting for the kind of ghouls who think this is appropriate? This isn’t protecting kids. It’s doing the very opposite.

I’m in an ongoing situation with a pair of local ravens who alternate between stealing eggs from our pet ducks and observing us from the top of this nearby tree. I want to tap into this potential partnership somehow, but I think the ravens actually literally and figuratively look down on me.

For those of you just learning about Canada: Carney was sworn in as PM on March 14. Traditionally, PM's first visit is the US. Every time.
Except this time, Carney said fuck that and went to France. 🤣
