SON: May I please have a cookie?
ME: Like a Canadian.
SON: So sorry, could I please trouble you for one of your delicious cookies, good sir, eh? It’s okay if you say no. There’s probably a more deserving child.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Had another complaint. Someone emailed us saying that this billboard upset them because they themselves didn’t like dogs. We emailed back “well you know what to do then” 😂

I genuinely feel like I empathize with werewolves the most. I know how hard it is to be seen as a scary, ferocious badass beast everywhere I go. I know what its like for society to misunderstand and fear us. We badass beasts are all kindred spirits at the end of the day. We understand each other 💜

This is a good description of Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives who hate what he hates. “A Con man”. Canada has a very ill opposition political party, but that sickness can be purged if their true focus flips all Canadians.
