Job hunting while employed is one thing—job hunting after a layoff is a whole 'nother beast. After four years, I just got notice. My job supported an industry that relies on steel, and the new tariffs are hitting hard.

If you’ve been through this, any advice?

Some sage advice as the United States provokes a trade war with Canada.

We will not back down. We will fight like hell.

🇨🇦 Happy Flag Day, Canada! 🇨🇦

On this day in 1965, the maple leaf flag was raised for the first time. Nearly 60 years later, it remains a symbol of unity, resilience, and Canadian identity.

Drop a 🇨🇦 if you're proud to call Canada home!

If America thinks tariffs will crush the resolve of Canadians – they’re wrong.

We will not roll over.

BC is stepping up to do our part by:
❌ Pulling US liquor off shelves
❌ Excluding US products from government purchases

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada.
Today, it is possibly the most Canadian photo ever. Stompin' Tom Connors shaking hands with a beaver.
#ProudlyCanadian

📸Macleans
The photo features a man dressed in a red shirt, black vest, and black cowboy hat, holding a guitar. He is kneeling on one knee, extending his hand towards a beaver, which is standing on its hind legs and appears to be giving him a high-five or paw-shake. Here are some details: Man: He has a friendly expression, wearing attire reminiscent of a country or folk musician. The guitar he's holding is acoustic with a sunburst finish, indicating it might be a classic or vintage model. Beaver: The beaver is depicted in a very human-like interaction, standing upright and engaging in a gesture typically associated with humans, adding a humorous and whimsical element to the image. Background: The background is a solid light blue, which keeps the focus on the subjects without distraction.

Album cover for Vows by Kimbra. The image features Kimbra with a short, dark, voluminous hairstyle, looking downward with a soft expression. Her body is painted white with intricate, black ink-like floral and abstract designs covering her arms, shoulders, and chest. The background is completely white, giving a minimalist and ethereal feel. The text "KIMBRA VOWS" appears in thin, uppercase black letters in the top left corner.

It's wonderful to see a province lead the way in addressing homelessness. It wasn't specifically mentioned, but it appears as though Manitoba read the "At Home/ Chez Soi"study conducted in 2008 and chose to implement it. mentalhealthcommission.ca/what-we-do/a...

On this day in 1939, Superman was published as a newspaper comic for the first time.
The character was co-created by Canadian Joe Shuster, who put a lot of Canadian aspects into the character.
But he never became rich from his creation.
Let's learn more about his story!

This photo depicts a man dressed in formal attire, likely from the early to mid-20th century, given the style of his clothing. He is wearing a suit with a tie and a pocket square, which suggests a sophisticated and polished appearance. His hair is neatly styled, combed back in a manner typical of that era. Given the name "Joe Shuster," this could be a portrait of Joe Shuster, one of the co-creators of the iconic comic book character Superman, known for his significant contributions to the comic book industry.

The image is the iconic album cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. It features the four band members—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—dressed in vibrant, colorful military-style uniforms. They are surrounded by a collage of famous figures from history, pop culture, and literature. In the foreground, the word “BEATLES” is spelled out in red flowers, and a drum in the center displays the album’s title. The cover has a bright blue sky background and a mix of plants and props, creating a vibrant and eclectic scene.

I wake up in the morning. I sit at my computer. The internet screams at me that the world is on fire. I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.
