Hello! I am a friendly, progressive, secular Canadian. 😀👋✌️

My focus is Canadian/US politics, but humour and animal related posts are a welcome balance.

I'm an avid reader, a fan of black & white movies, and a music lover. It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded folks!

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.

The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business
