Good interview that needs to come with a trigger warning. The instant you click play you see and hear a former conservative PM’s extremely annoying son. 🤢😂

I have decided to mute or block - in extreme cases - anyone insisting that Canada is a hair away from going the way of the neighbours. First, we are not. Second, there are a lot of solid reasons that it could not be replicated here. Do we have conservatives with those ideologies? Yes. But /1

Americans continue to insist that they live in the best country in the world.
Paying for day care is so unaffordable that it threatens the very bedrock of New York City’s economy by pushing many parents to quit their jobs. More than two out of every five New Yorkers say an adult in their household turned down paid work due to child care.
Can Anyone Afford a Job Around Here?
Since the pandemic, the cost of child-care centers in New York has risen twice as much as inflation and is four times the median family income.

How does “more than 2 inches of snow” disrupt flights in a city that is not in the south? This is a light dusting of snow.
New York City received its most significant snowfall in several years this weekend. Central Park saw more than four inches of snow for the first time since January 2022, with higher totals in the wider metropolitan region.

Pizza is a good metaphor for religion. The kind you grew up with is the only real kind and the bastards who like it different from you are all going to hell.
But it's all the same ingredients*.
*Except for those infidels that put the sauce on top. You and your stupid casserole will burn forever.

I’m sitting back, enjoying a fresh coffee, reminiscing on the year that was - I refuse to give any quarter to the horrors, the grifters, the monsters, the republicans, the conservatives & war mongers.
I’m only thinking positive, good & hopeful notions for this brief slice of time.

Blanchet argues that Quebec has more to fear from Ottawa than the US. I don’t see this as winning him favour here in Quebec. We’re not imbeciles, after all.

The American media, including the Atlantic and CBS, can go fuck themselves. Canada, my beautiful country of birth, is a sovereign nation, NOT part of the US, and NEVER will be. You cannot dictate to us what we can and cannot broadcast.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."
