Cynical yet hopeful. Old rebel. Kindness matters. So does mental health. Enthusiastic supporter of social safety nets, animal welfare & antifascism. Liberal.
"I wish more Canadians were offended by the idea that the government wants to buy your kid's lunch." 😮

"Why does the government get to spend our tax dollars doing us a 'favour' and we're supposed to be grateful." 🤯 That's EXACTLY what the government is supposed to do, you moron.

At a recent event the leader of the starvation movement, MAGA Con MP Jamil Jivani - Canada’s own JD Vance wannabe, spoke to a bored handful of students, in a tiny classroom (not the grand arena he had hoped), about why he opposes feeding hungry kids at schools... #cdnpoli

A few winters ago, I fell on black ice and got a concussion. It took me over a year and a half to recover. So I am all in on fall prevention.

There are some really good tips on this page. If you're an older adult, be sure to check it out. If you love some older adults, tell them about these tips.
Did you know that November is Fall Prevention Month?

Falls can have serious consequences for people of all ages. We all have a role to play in preventing falls.

What a fantastic response to the 🍊💩. No delirium induced ranting or raving. Let him go off on his tangents while the rest of us get on with the business of building our economies without the US. #tariffs
Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
October 24, 2025 at 3:27 PM
Yes it's true and it's Conservative Party Ontario Premier Doug Ford's fault. He ran an ad featuring Ronald Reagan's (verified true) comments on tariffs. It begs the question as to just what his motivation was for running the ad. I tend to agree with Angry's assessment. F**ks over Canada though.
