I have been a lawyer, a novelist, a playwright, a poet, a comedian, and some of those things I still am, sort-of. Half Aussie. Half Newfie. All Canadian. Pretty far left. Have 2 grown sons. One husband. One dog. Part of a horse. Also: old (over 65).
Everyone seriously needs to read this. And share it. I know we think we know the deets of Trump's rape history, but this is the complete rundown and it needs to be shouted to the hilltops.
This past week there was a photo from Trump's gala of a barely clad woman frolicking in a giant champagne glass.
She looked like a teen.
It made me think of Jane Doe-another young woman who attempted to shine a light on the darkness in Trumpland.
My latest.

Never thought of that. Betcha that's why they did it, and not just Trump's pathetic attempt to "brand" everything he encounters.

FFS. He's not hitting CANADA with a tariff increase. He's hitting consumers in the USA with an added cost to Canadian imports. A tariff (tax) on incoming Canadian goods. We don't pay it. Americans do. Blah blah it'll affect Canadian sales to the USA. We'll figure that out. We're sick of his shit.
"I don't want to meet with him [Carney]. I'm not going to be meeting with him for a while now. I'm very happy with the deal we have right now with Canada, and we're going to let it run," Trump said.
Trump did not clarify which deal he was referring to."

Also? The canadians aren't coming.
I’m at Gatorland in Orlando, and one of the employees told me that park attendance is way down: “The zip line should be packed, but nobody’s buying tickets.”
He says people just aren’t spending money, and guesses that’s because everyone is struggling due to the “lousy economy.”

I am currently in ireland having a little holiday and can attest to the fact that this is a really cool place. And i'm canadian, so I have a high bar.
Can’t say I know much about the powers of the Irish president but it’s interesting that this woman ran as a left-wing independent, won 63% of the vote, was lauded by her opponent, and is succeeding the man who took his adorable dogs everywhere. Seems a proper country.
Independent left-wing politician Connolly wins Irish presidency in landslide
Catherine Connolly, a veteran lawmaker on the far left of the Irish political spectrum, was elected president by a landslide margin on Saturday in a stinging rebuke to the recently re-elected centre-right coalition.

As a Torontonian, I was already disappointed that the Toronto Rangers didn't make the playoffs this year. Now this.

Lots of us small-l liberals aren't happy about a lot of Carney's post-election decisions and policies. But if we ever needed a clear thinker staying calm and not posturing or slinging monkeydoo (like PP), who has the experience, it's now. Carney knows what he's doing. We might just get through this.
Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

I'm at for Americans but do happy Canada is getting top researchers. Good for UHN for making this possible.
