If I fired up my computer 20 years ago and saw the number of ads I see today, I'd have assumed I had a nasty virus.

Yeah, as much as I'd like that in theory, the federal government can't overthrow or overrule a democratically elected provincial government. They can force them to follow certain laws like the Canada Health Act, but otherwise the separation of powers is clear.

I am adding bizarre and unusual new acts to my product offerings this year including bookmarks, trading cards, new original work and MOAR WEIRD BABIES!!!

I'm still adding more events to the list, so gather 'round folks. You won't want to miss this show!

XOXO

F*ck That: An Honest Meditation YouTube video by Jason Headley

I felt a colleague needed this today, and then it occurred to me, so could everyone else.

It's been a few years since I posted it.

Ever since Trump shat all over CUSMA last year by putting Tarrifs on Canada, Canadians have been saying any trade deal with Trump is as temporary as his current diaper.

And here he is saying it out loud to the UK on SkyNews:

And also his facial reactions.

Carney's final line here made me laugh.

“Watch till the end”as they say on the internet.

This looks like a shit Play Group.

(From my Facebook memories.)

BREAKING: Trump’s Pentagon Threatened to "Crush" the Pope — Just Like Medieval France Did The Avignon Papacy was the most humiliating chapter in Church history. The Trump administration just invoked it as a warning to Pope Leo XIV.

The Pentagon “Allegedly” threatened the Vatican with a re-do of the 1309-1376 Avignon Papacy if they don't support the Iran debacle.

The Avignon Papacy was a period when the Papacy was forcibly relocated to France under the thumb of the French king Phillip IV

I agree with you. I've opposed almost all her social conservative and her pandemic positions since I first heard of her.

Even Scheer's pixels are crossing the floor.

Yeah honestly I'd rather the cons kept this one.

Someone said you can mess with chatgpt results by dictating a specific IQ.
So I thought, what if I asked it to develop a war strategy as if it was a low IQ commander who ignores experts?
Well... It wouldn't develop a war strategy but it did give me some sample tweets from this fictional commander:

And they're jsut getting started too, that's what I'm worried about.

But my son reads a lot, follows the news, and reads history too, and has decided not to support Kanye anymore on his own.

Which I believe is a far superior outcome than me forbidding it.

My 15-yr-old was a Kanye fan, but not anymore.

We had a few frank discussions with him between ages 13-14 about what Kanye stands for, but we let him choose if he wants to separate the artist from the art. (But told him we won't pay for any of Kanye records on his Christmas list...)

Oatmeal Crips.

Walking up and down the grocery aisle with their pimp sticks, looking for Oatmeal Bloods.

These guys adapted their murder masks so they can earn some extra cash at Easter.

... The “regime change” framing isn’t about Canadian suffering. It’s about American mobilization — specifically the mobilization of voters who believe the United States was founded as a white Christian nation and that its neighbours are harbingers of demonic modernity."

From the article:
"... needs two things to consolidate power: a culture war enemy and a messianic narrative. Canada, with its trans flags and its publicly-funded death panels (as they’d call it), is a perfect villain....

On Behalf of Canada, Tucker Carlson Can Go F*** Himself Let's break down Tucker's latest "Let's take over Canada" campaign, sponsored by Russian State Media

This article articulates better than me how that framing is developing in the background now, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed it.

I've seen a huge number of US-based Anti-MAID propaganda posts on FB lately, and I've been saying all along that they are laying the groundwork to use MAID as one of the justifications to “Liberate” Canada.

From the article:

"The next morning — Good Friday — the Pentagon sent an email to more than 3,500 employees: “Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel.” A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed it."

Trump-Vance White House Escalates Holy Week Assault Against Catholic Church A judge forced ICE to open the doors. On Holy Thursday, four priests washed the feet of fourteen detained migrants. The next morning, the Pentagon excluded Catholics from Good Friday services.

As many have said all along, you let the Holy Rollers take over government, it's only a matter of time before they start narrowing things down to “the right kind of Christian”.

We all knew that Catholics supporting Trump will eventually find themselves in the out group with the rest of us.

We should all be looking at our professional relationships and making principled statements like this.
Canadians should do what Markham Hislop has done, call out and cut ties with those who threaten our sovereignty.

Ahead of Trump's speech tonight, it wouldn't hurt for Canada and Europe to recall the words of Pierre Trudeau when he heard that Nixon had called him an asshole:

"I've been called worse things by better people."

Indeed I think Canada has been embodying this Philosophy for over a year now.

Trump's Ballroom is Just the Lid My grandmother passed away today, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with that.

My understanding is that it's more of a massive data centre.

This writer says you should think of it as just a lid.
