I’m getting off this roller coaster. It’s only going to get more batshittery*from here on to the election. Stay safe everyone. * batshittery compliments of @mcsweeneys.net

Petey here is going to blame 🇨🇦 for the elections. How do you sleep at night Hoe? Cuz we are snoring like babies!

The US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, warns that the US is “monitoring” Canada for alleged election interference. Meanwhile, US officials have reportedly threatened military invasion over trade disputes, while backing separatist campaigns to break apart the country. #cdnpoli

You laugh but this is a huge blow for all blondekind.

We should ask the WH press lawyer (oops, secretary) what the deal with Star Link is. I’m sure she will have an intelligent, eloquent response. Oh, wait…..😂

“Batshittery” Half our feed now.

Ambassador Hoekstra warns Canadians not to meddle in midterms but also to accept blame for costing Republicans the midterms

So much for elbows up! Today's @thestar.com exposes Doug Ford's hypocrisy - while talking tough about cutting off electricity exports to the U.S., he has contracted to import dirty American electricity, making us more vulnerable to hostile actions by Trump. #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/xG5TTI0J

No more Roots for me.

Has she been fired yet?

BREAKING: KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE HAS RESIGNED.

Took me a 30 second count.

I feel seen.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! May all my fellow Canadians enjoy their meals with family!

In Iqaluit, the only city in Canada’s Arctic, a new generation of Inuit writers and artists is turning questions of language, land and identity into books, films and even tattoos.

Got to hang out with Frank Miller yesterday, and talk about Thomas Jefferson and the like for a while. Really cool experience. Not one I’d ever been expecting. Books, man; they’ll take you places, introduce you to people. But they won’t snap a photo for you: I never think of that myself.

Carney: “ Fuck off eh! Putin: “ vodka Don?”

I was rooting for the virus. Gotta draw it ugly!!😂

Thank you Mc.

Canada's official position on the International Criminal Court vs the United States, from August 5. Carney: "Our support for the ICC is unequivocal." #cdnpoli

Being read to and encouraged to read was one of the greatest gifts my parents ever gave me. My parents never put any barriers on their own library, bought us book lights so we could read in the car, and pretended they didn’t notice when I’d be up past bedtime reading under the sheets.

Maybe not the dog. But the 16 squeaky toys would like to join the chat.

This isn't just grasping at straws -- it's grasping at thin air. LNG Canada uses steel modules fabricated in China because we don't make them here. The first phase was built in large part because of a duty waiver the Trudeau government granted. Would PP like to see the project not built at all?

Nailed it.

Posting for those thinking that plague thingy in Russia is “ no biggie.”

Wait…are there people who don’t see their pets as family members?

Remember when we thought the flu in China wasn’t our problem??

Better not be “ just for show.”

Trump admin demands Canada not meddle in midterms so they can meddle in separatist referendums

Congratulations!

Couldn’t get through 2026 without the plague apparently.

1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

I just saw two posts about a Russian plague disappearing as I tried to comment and repost. Anyone else see this?

Ok folks, 8 lbs. Mushroom.🍄

Last line physically hurts to read.
