It’s that time of year! The dog is confused about the forbidden indoor plumbing his dad just dragged in. Sorry Henry, you still have to do the yellow snow plan we discussed.

I should mention this is part 1 of 2. The exiting conclusion to this story will come out next week!!!
The colony may have been small in 1640 but that didn’t stop Acadia from being the grounds of one of the most dramatic stories I’ve ever read about early Canadian history. Move over Madeleine de Verchères and Laura Secord and make way for Françoise-Marie Jacquelin!

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I have been in my feels today. Now I’m watching Avengers: Engame with my 10yr old and it feels like a great choice. I’m hoping the Jays can have their “On your left” moment next year.

If anyone has any advice on how to comfort a sobbing ten year old about this loss, send it my way.

My poor dog with my reaction to Clement coming home. He was on my lap and I got loud. He’s back now so all is well.

Scherzer must have wanted to ball because his blood was up from that near brawl. I thought he’d be done after the 4th.

Smart move to let Barger take that. He has a much better arm than Varsho these days.

Coach Earl (my grumpy old dad) says hitting is contagious. I’m also not overlooking Lukes’s bunt. That showed they were getting back to executing their game plan and put them in control.

If there is a walk and a Blue Jay on base doesn’t wait until an ump personally tells them to move to the next base I’m gonna scream. Getting caught off the base is rookie league shit.

Get your shit together boys!! Learn at least one damn thing from the other games when you did boneheaded shit.

This poor dude had to go trick or treating with his older siblings before coming home to the game. He works security on those candy mission so he’s pretty wiped out now.

I’m pretty sure I saw flames trailing behind Gausman as he walked off the mound after that strikeout.

Canada just shows off with the anthems! The gospel singer the other night was good but the crowd gave tonight’s Canadian anthem singer the win in my books.

It feels like if King Charles could drown Andrew in a vat of malmsey he would. The dirt KC has on him must be appalling for him to level Andrew like this.

Earl (Dad) calls a double play. Let’s see how this prediction plays out.
My dad called it. Pass ball for the run.

Helluva snag by Vlady. I loved that slap to first too.
