Guess what? If you park where there are no parking pylons, the tow trucks hammer on their horns at 7am to wake up the neighbourhood so you will move your vehicle. Do not be that arsehole. Park somewhere else!! Be courteous.

Trump is no JFK during the Cuba Missile crisis. He is the opposite of a president with a cool head - a maniac who only knows escalation and the world is at grave risk. I discuss the insane state of affairs with the mighty @charlieangus104.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

Laura Babcock and I discuss the state of the world as we live through a time as frightening as the Cuban missile crisis. At least then, they had credible leaders - we have Trump, Vance, Netanyahu and Leavitt.

Picture of the day today comes from Sandy Miles who spotted this sleeping lynx along the road near Shamattawa First Nation in northern Manitoba.
Don't let its sleepy good looks fool you, stay safe!
