Nice to see a bit of colour on the Ottawa horizon tonight. It’s been a long Winter and a dreary Spring, and world events haven’t helped…can we look forward to a little warmth and brighter skies anytime soon?
IN THE DANCE 😤
Althia Raj characterized M.P. Gladu as “lovely” and “compassionate” b/c she supported the Freedumb Convoy thugs who were being “forced” to get vaccinated. Any compassion for the residents of Ottawa who were essentially held hostage by the Convoy criminals? For that matter any compassion from Althia?
Marilyn Gladu “Let those truckers roll 10-4. Standing up for freedom!”
“Let those truckers roll 10-4”
Liberal MP Marilyn Gladu promoted the Freedom Convoy’s GoFundMe fundraising campaign in the lead-up to the occupation of Ottawa
I sure hate to quote Ben Mulroney, but when he said Marilyn Gladu would be more at home with Maxime Bernier as her Leader than Mark Carney, Ben was right. Regardless, Tom Mulcair was still full of praise for her. Mulcair reminds us constantly why he was never the correct choice for Leader of the NDP
So the latest convert to the Liberal Party of Canada, M.P. Marilyn Gladu, was supportive of the Freedumb Convoy and also spread Covid disinformation. Will the Liberals play footsie with anybody who can get them that majority they crave? Of course they will, it’s always just been about getting power!
Alberta separatist movement is gaining steam, and Canada is starting to feel like a sports team with a member that’s going to walk. So instead of losing Alberta to free agency, I propose a trade now: Alberta for Minnesota, Michigan, all of New England, New York, and a state to be named later. Deal?
I’m afraid Jeremy Hansen isn’t “your” astronaut, Senator. Check the sleeve…Canadian! But, if you’d like to lead the charge to make Minnesota into Canada’s 11th province to escape Trump, you may claim him then. And speaking of Senators: this afternoon, Ottawa Senators vs. Minnesota Wild…Go, Sens, go!
The Unexpected Journey by Emma Heming Willis (wife of Bruce Willis) is the story of the care partner of a spouse with dementia, whose journey is obviously very different than most…yet it’s uplifting to hear her encourage and support us care partners, unlike the many “experts” who can only criticize.
I’m stumped as to why all 3 At Issue panelists thought it was smart of Poilievre to appear on Joe Rogan. Rogan has a history of conspiracy, racism, antisemitism, anti-LGBTQ, anti-vaccines, etc. If Poilievre just wants to shore up his MAGA-loving base, then Rogan’s show is the right place. Otherwise…
I wonder if the @senators.bsky.social are cool with the team's captain being a MAGA dork.
So, Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson have agreed to attend the State of the Union speech tonight to see their new buddy Trump and their new drinking buddy Kash Patel? I hope it’s the longest, most awful 3 hours of their lives. I’ll never be able to root for those two Sens the same again.
I’ll never understand…while Santander was sitting around in the Winter, couldn’t somebody have addressed his shoulder issue, instead of at the start of training camp?
Oh, well…bang the drum and hold the phone, the sun came out today: Jays pitchers and catchers reported for duty.
Dear Michigan, you twice voted to put Trump in the White House. He couldn’t have won without that Rust Belt support. Here comes your reward: Trump threatening to block the Gordie Howe Bridge completion. Everything going as planned?
As caregiver to a person with dementia, I've discovered YouTube is full of "advice" videos from "experts." The common thread of these videos: everything we caregivers are doing is wrong, wrong, wrong. But wait, there's always a simple solution, but first, stop doing what you're doing, and subscribe.
Groundhog Day data: Punxsutawney Phil SAW his shadow, meaning 6 more weeks of Winter = it ends March 16 (!)
Wharton Willie did NOT see his shadow = early Spring.
Reality: most places in Canada, Winter lasts from mid-November to at least mid-April. Five months. No suspension of disbelief necessary.
Trump is supposedly concerned about saving "ice hockey." Is "ice hockey" something for ICE agents to do when they're not shooting protesters?
Hey, we call hockey, hockey.
Mark Carney was just informed by Bonhomme Carnaval that Trump has rescinded Canada's invitation to join Trump's so-called "Peace Board." Devastated!
77 days until Dodgers come to Toronto to begin a 3-game series. Anyone care for a spot of revenge? Go, Jays, go.
On the latest The Numbers podcast, Eric and Philippe included an over-under on whether PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamadon would temper his zeal before election day in Quebec for another referendum on sovereignty. Conclusion: probably not. What a waste of Quebec taxpayer dollars this could be.
Isn’t Marc Miller a longtime best friend of Justin Trudeau? Yet as Carney continues to dismantle Trudeau policies, Miller is still pleased as punch to be returned to Carney’s cabinet in a lesser role than before. Does Minister of Culture get a free car and driver? Beats friendship any day.
So, now that Steven Guilbeault has resigned from cabinet (out of principle) can we expect him to cross the floor to join the Green Party, where he should have been all along? No?
I was happy to see the “sandwich guy” was found not guilty today. He was very open-faced at his sub-sequent press conference despite being grilled by the media, and denied that he had ever used a club against officers. Obviously a well-bread young man. Anyway, that’s a wrap.
As a Jays fan, I can now appreciate how Edmonton Oiler fans have suffered the past 2 years, especially when your nemesis is a powerful, loaded team from the southern U.S.
But Goliath shouldn't rest easy...David will rise again!
The celebration of the life of my friend Darragh Mogan will take place at West Royalty Community Centre in Charlottetown on Thursday October 30, 7:00 p.m. Darragh passed away October 12, aged 79. Family, friends, DVA, NDP, Ellen’s Creek Watershed Group, PEI Symphony, etc. were all part of his world.
Getting my hate on
Frasier? sucked
Nirvana? overrated
Starbucks? corporate shitheads
Space Needle? hahaha
Microsoft? antitrust evil
Amazon? fuckers
So Polievre wished Freedumb Convoy leaders a happy life? Does this guy seriously even want to be PM? How many votes did that statement just cost him, especially in Ottawa? Did losing Carleton teach him nothing?
I wore my lucky Blue Jays World Series sweatshirt today, personally autographed by Duane Ward himself at the Charlottetown Dairy Queen. But the Jays don't really need luck against these Yankees.
This guy has obviously been fed too often by local residents. No fear, but keen for a handout. I had to talk him into getting back to foraging in the leaves with the rest of his crew.
An actual sign on Rideau River Eastern Pathway!
