I don’t care if Jason Kenney gets a maple leaf tattooed on his face, I’m not praising him for his stance on separatism. He was the PC leader when they merged with the Wildrose. He legitimized separatists, just so he could have power. It’s too late, you are responsible directly for Smith.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Xfinity has just released its Jurassic Park-themed Super Bowl ad that features a digitally de-aged Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. https://bit.ly/4rmRhrK

My radio station played this song 5 days ago, and it’s been stuck in my brain ever since. So I’m passing it along to all of you, to be stuck in your head for the next week.

Me: “cool, we’re a winter wedding in a poorly lit church that will have limitations on where you can stand”

I like them together, but I’m not sure which setting is weirder. Katy Perry in Davos for WEF, or Justin Trudeau at the Grammys. Plz continue with this low stakes weirdness in a world dominated by high stakes chaos.

Happy Groundhog Day. I was in my 30’s when I learned that Balzac Billy is just a mascot, not a real groundhog, and the day has lost some of its magic.

My mom is a retired nurse, and I had a medical question about my toes. I had to describe it to her via which little piggy it was. Not only does this little piggy have no roast beef, he also is injured.

Today was less about the kms, and more about the views. We were skiing on tourist hot spot, Lake Louise.

I keep betting my mom that the CPC will deal with Poilievre, and I keep doubling down that the *next loss*, they’ll move on from this loser. And the CPC keeps doubling down on him and costing me money.
Do you WANT to keep losing? In what world is this guy seen as a rival to Mark Carney?

Very tired of people joking that they should just trade Alberta away. Like we’ve got vocal idiots trying to collect signatures for a referendum. But we already successfully had Albertans sign for a referendum to reaffirm that we will ALWAYS be Canadian. Stop throwing us away!

I‘ve been dealing with bad eye strain symptoms this week, and I have no clue what to do because literally everything revolves around screens now. Work? Screen. Entertainment? Screen. Phone? Screen. Music? Screen. Reading? Screen. Crafting? Pattern on screen.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Actually, Narco Mennonites was probably recommended to me because I live in Alberta. Alberta has less Mennonites than provinces like Ontario and Manitoba, BUT we have the largest Hutterite population. Unrelated, we also have the most Mormons.

They put Mark Carney in the ACTUAL fleece from Heated Rivalry. The real one, that Hudson Williams wore in the episode.
We are such an unserious country most of the time. I love it.

One of my top Crave “For You” recommendations is Narco Mennonites.

Confession: I actually watched Jon Stewart for the first time last night, and he is so much more annoying than I anticipated.
But my fiancé LOVES him, so I will never say this out loud, and I will happily watch every video he shows me, even if his mannerisms irk me.

I truly do not understand people who think Ted Lasso had a good ending. Season 3 was just awful. I don’t get it. We just are fundamentally on different wavelengths.
