We probably followed each other on Deadbird, so just go with that.

Current status: There's about a week and a half in early December that is neither Black Friday nor Boxing Day.
When they finally meet, the low low prices will merge into one Mega price, and Jeff Bezos will become Voltron.

I was trying to write something about ice (the frozen water) and my phone autocapitalized it to ICE (the Gestapo) and frankly this is far worse than when it started autocapitalizing Jar because I was spending too much time in Star Wars groups.

Good I'm glad we're doing this. Not that I'm buying their food anyway, but some people are.

We'll call the new department "Fentanyl Czar".
Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.
CFIA monitoring U.S. move away from science-based decision making, documents show
The ‘U.S. Risk Task Team’ will keep an eye on the impact of regulatory changes on food imports

My unpopular opinion on this: don't kick him out, he's perfect.

A perfect embodiment of MAGA, to sit festering in our midst and reminding us to maintain our boycott, hold the line, strengthen Canada. Through the summer when Trump didn't mention annexation at all, this guy kept Canadians on target.

Hope you all had a fabulously devilish Halloween!

And now it's time to roll out ol' Satan Claws.

Ha ha ha. "This is the United Nations General Assembly. It is not a Signal Chat"

This is how you deal with MAGA. Tell them we will not be lied to, we will not be propagandized at. That might fly in your house, but it doesn't fly in ours.

This is how we should respond to the US ambassador to Canada

Ahem.

We give you Gander. The app. On a phone.

Not public yet… but it’s real, in our hands, and soon in beta.

The timing is a bit nuts… given we just opened investment to all Canadians (at frontfundr.com/gandersocial) but we’re over the moon.

Amazing what can get done with community.

I hate to sorta agree with Ford, but he's not far off. Whatever else you migbt think of it, the Reagan ad has been extremely successful in every import at metric: viewership, viral spread, changing national conversation in two countries...

Defiant Ford defends ‘most successful ad in history of North America’ | Globalnews.ca
A defiant Doug Ford said the commercial his government launched, to the fury of U.S. President Donald Trump, derailing trade talks, has 'achieved' its goal and will now end.

I admin my neighbourhood FB page, which is just as full of stereotypes as you might expect. Who's cat is this, who's setting off fireworks..

Anyways I was laughing with my wife about what people in horror movies would post on their neighbourhood FB page. I'd love to hear yours.

This speech really made me feel like Canada really means business about stepping up on the world trade stage.
Carneys been playing his cards close to his chest over the summer, but this and the other speeches this week made me feel better about it.

Ha ha, he's such a dad.
CARNEY: "In fact, we have free trade agreements with 15 jurisdictions around the world, two-thirds of global trade. Now, some of those free trade agreements operate a little more predictably than others. No prize for guessing which ones."

Nursery rhyme question. Is the fifth piggy singing happily or crying?

I always thought "whee whee whee" sounds like a damned happy piggy.
However I've been informed by randos on the interweb that that piggy is crying.
You know what, who cares what they think. Happy piggie, the end.

Toronto: not an igloo in sight

Population (GTA): 6.4M, 4th largest city in N.A.

Ranked one of the safest cities in N.A. even though it is considered the most multi-cultural city in the world where 160 different languages are spoken.

Tolerance is our superpower.

As @brittlestar.com said last spring, Canadians have been training for this our whole lives. Snowstorm, spring, winter, spring, snowstorm, tarrifs, spring, no tarrifs, snowstorm, spring, tarrifs, summer, flurries...
Trump walks away from trade talks? We've got our Storm Chips, see you next Tuesday.

This is something that has been on my mind. The people on Venezuelan fishing boats are getting a death sentence with no trial for an alleged crime that doesn't carry the death penalty.
How will Canadians react when its a Canadian fishing boat that the US claims is full of fentanyl with no proof?
What are we 🇨🇦 going to do if a Canadian fishing boat gets struck by US Dept of War (claiming that it was loaded with drugs)?

What will we do?

The new AI features on my S24 that I didn't ask for have already failed me.

Country, Sammy? Really? It's like you don't even know me.

Facebook can show me an ad for a car I pointed out to my son in the street 20 minutes earlier, but you've never picked up on my feelings about country?

Further to my post the other day about not engaging with the official US government trolls that joined Bluesky en masse on Friday just before the No Kings protest, here's one of several article that confirms they are verified US gov't accounts and they're here to troll.
