Michigan Republicans fault Canada from wildfire smoke entering the US. Republicans don't understand wildfires or climate change. Offer a few water bombers to assist and we'll put them to work. Morons.
The new Rolling Stones Foreign Tongues album is available. A stunning use of AI to de-age the Stones, but very true to their original style. We like it.
It's not easy being green, but being orange like that mother fucker is a level of delusion that I can only aspire to.
Imagine thanking Iran for settling the political thugery of the trump regime. Imagine
Large crowds attend Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa, far greater than the 250 year state fair in D.C. Prime Minister Carney on hand. Canadian Super Star Bryan Adams releases pro-Canadian song, Never the 51st State.
Oh please no. I live for Halloween to do my scary clown for kids and parents. The show is hilarious. Most kids aren't fazed by it. We take videos and selfies.
Trump has blocked the opening of the new Gordie Howe bridge from Windsor to Detroit for political reasons. Canada paid for construction and wants to recoup the cost from tolls. Trump is trying to skim off the tolls. Another example of the US obstructing cross border trade.
Best news that I've heard in days. My Canada has Alberta in it. It also has Quebec, Indigenous lands and all other Provinces and Territories. We stand on guard for thee.
Toronto Blue Jays are clobbering the Tampa Bay Rays 13 - 0, bottom of the 5th Go Jays
Hypo-allergenic non- shedding dogs are cool. I loved my beagle, but not his fur. Give me hair.
My Sister and her Husband have been buried under a mountain of snow in sub-arctic temperatures in Ontario. I sent her a photo of our first crocus that opened in British Columbia. She's gone dark.
NATO was essentially guaranteed a very bad future when trump was elected. You don't need to be psychic about this.
I saw their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Jurassic Era
That's nothing. Watch 2026! Some of you people are not doing your part. There's an economic war going on. I don't care how warm you like it. There's no enemy like a friend betrayed.
Nothing much seems to piss trump off lately more than either being Bad Bunny or a Canadian former ally. What's not irrational about that?
For those of us who may be forgetting the message, or starting to travel to the US for warmer specialty purpose trips, WAKE THE FUCK UP BECAUSE THERE IS AN ECONOMIC WAR GOING ON THAT WE DIDNT START. AND IT'S ABOUT TO GET WORSE. DO YOUR DUTY. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Either Canada stands in support of NATO and Greenland, or we stand alone. This is a non-starter. We are a NATO nation in the truest sense. Stand with our allies against Trump.
The Toronto Blue Jays have shot themselves in the foot again, by failing to sign Bo Bichette for the 2026 roster. Bichette reportedly signed a mega deal with the Mets to play 3rd base. The Jays will miss Bo in the batting order.
The 2026 version of Elbows Up! Get ready, Get serious. We Stand on Guard for Thee.
This is my wife. Her hair is the first thing that I noticed about her. I loved her hair then, as I love it now. Red heads!
A productive day today. I baked a birthday cake for my wife, made a Christmas treat we call Christmas Crack, and a tray of Scottish shortbread. Time to walk the dog and ice the cake. Almost no supervision required.
First Plum Loaf of the year, from my orchard of one tree. It was going to be for my Mother in law, but my Wife said we better test it. Bake her another one tomorrow. Being retired has a lot of moving parts.
