I was due for a fix of listening to one of Trudeau's speeches. No matter how tough the subject, he is always so uplifting. I do think Carney is the right guy for today's chaotic environment, but I miss Trudeau also.

This is the type of actor that I want to see more of.
OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer.
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

I think this is a US boycott but I'm willing to bet many Canadians and other countries will jump in on this also. You can count me in. 🍁
I reduced my Amazon purchases substantially over the past 6 months. Getting rid of subscriptions was the easiest way to reduce, but I can do even better.

I rely on Amazon for some things; but, I can do without for 4 days if I plan.

Spotify runs advertisements for ICE. Still want to be using their services?
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
