Be mindful, this is who the Conservative Party is running in Salmon Arm-Shuswap. Can we trust a party whose members want Canada to fall under American control? Alberta may have dealt the separatism movement a blow last night, but it is not over. Vote to protect our sovereignty. #bcpoli #bcelection

Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star

Denmark is trolling Trump.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

🙋‍♀️ in 🇨🇦

Words from the lovely Land of Oz. And there are words of coarse, of course. And much mocking of the US regime. Fortunately, our Aussie friend also includes a useful translation guide for some of the words. Worthy.

A thread of notes I've made about my dad. You can read the full thing here: www.tom-cox.com/31-notes-i-h...

Today I read the best amicus brief ever and I’m sharing it with you www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22...

The awesome Bryan Adams, who has never really been overtly political, just dropped a banger of an anthem for Canada Day called 51st STATE. 🇨🇦🍁 And yes, it’s a giant middle finger to Donald Trump. Check it out: youtu.be/LyyFIbaU45w?...

Trump's post about Robert Mueller's death is absolutely disgusting. I hope we are all committed to using the same wording when the great day comes...

🔴 WOW... This defiance and solidarity video for Greenland is EPIC. 👌🏼

OMG! that was some unbelievable baseball! the wrong team won, obviously, but still - what a series! #wantitall

Blue jays at my feeder this morning! I don't see them often, so I am sure it is a good omen. #wantitall

Canadian grandma here - what did you expect to happen when you decided to put idiots and assholes in charge of your cuntry?

So a couple of times each day I approach my computer to check the news. And each time I say aloud 'Is he dead yet?'. Please tell me I'm not the only one to do this!

#cdnpoli I just completed the verification/registration process to vote for the Liberal leader. It was a bit of a nightmare for me - on my phone, which I loathe - but I got it done. The really good news is it was much too much trouble for the clowns to go through to mess with the vote!

A better world

This isn't particularly insightful, I know, but I think there is no doubt that the gutting of American institutions in the name of 'America First' is going to result in America alone and failing. If there are no safeguards on any US products/services the rest of the world will not buy them.

🧶 I finished my latest sweater. I love to work with lots of colour but OMG - I hate sewing in all the ends!

#CDNpoli Like so many others, I am feeling a whole lot of things about the current political climate on both sides of the border. One of the things I have been feeling the most strongly is helpless, and I hate that. So I joined the Liberal Party and made a donation. It's not much, but I feel better.

I'm feeling very discouraged this morning. PMJT leaving, DJT arriving, PP endlessly yapping and EM just crapping all over everything everywhere. I fear we are in for a very rough ride. Canada doesn't feel like a safe space today.

🧶 Very irritated with myself this morning. I planned my new project, chose colours from my stash, bought MORE yarn so I would have enough for the blanket and got started. The colour scheme is awful! Ugly! I have 25 octagon centres, 8 rows in on each, and I refuse to continue. Aaargh!

🧶I got it done before the year is over! I worked on this one off and on all year, with lots of breaks to make other things (mostly sweaters this year). I am so glad it is finished!

Fred Yang would like you to know that Hillary beat Trump by about 3 times the margin that Trump beat Kamala.

🧶 Finally finished my latest sweaters. I had to do the tee-shirt twice because I foolishly followed a pattern that did not work, so I rewarded myself by making up the cardigan as I went along.

Actually, we do know that Canada isn’t going to go along with it. Get bent, Watters 🇨🇦 You may want to hand your country to a felon idiot, but we do not. #cdnpoli #uspoli

As a food writer I feel it's important to report that sometimes the solution to your problems is eating as much mac and cheese as physically possible

Trump will pick his tariff items according to his personal 60 year old "get even list" while China, Mexico and Canada will be putting 1,000s of economics PhDs to work mapping out the US economy block by block just like political campaigners map out a redistricting.

You're not going to be able to develop a highly informed, nuanced take on every conflict in the world, but I'll give you a good heuristic Always, in every circumstance, be opposed to the wanton slaughter of civilians, no matter what elaborate excuses folks throw up about why this time is different

There is a 0% chance I am voting for Doug Ford in the next election, and I know I'm not alone. Not even close. I don't care what the polls say. Like and retweet if you feel the same. #onpoli #cdnpoli #onted

Seriously. Biden pardoning his son will not have any impact on Trump’s self-serving spree of corruption.

Trump pardoned Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, as well as his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner—who he just appointed as US ambassador to France. Sorry, but President Biden was right to pardon his son Hunter in order to protect him against Kash Patel’s weaponized FBI.

When I joined here - a long time ago - I didn't know what this place was going to turn out to be. So I didn't put my name out there. Now I see that it is a good place, and I have replaced my original user name. No need to be anonymous when I am among friends and allies. That's nice!

So did JD Vance drop out, or what?

This. Every time someone calls this place an echo chamber I'm likes YES BITCH AND? I'm 49 years old, why should I spend my time listening to bigots and dipshits

And just to be perfectly clear - and yes, I am aware that no one asked - I fully support Justin Trudeau and wouldn't vote for PP under any circumstances.

I am a Canadian watching the US, and I can't shake one thought. So many on the right seemed to be gleefully looking forward to the 'civil war' following a Trump defeat; I am afraid they are going to be mad not to get it. They WANT to fight. Is vigilante ethnic cleansing the next big thing?

#ShowMeYourKnits Crochet, not knit, but I love the colours in this one!
