Standing on guard for thee 🇨🇦
Private, opinionated, learner.
I stand with WWII soldiers and what they fought against.
Celebrating the suffering of others is the worst plague on humankind.
I block those who DM without permission.

Today in iconic Canada: the Maple Leaf.
Truly a unique flag, easily recognizable, and to me, looks "happy." The flag reflects our land and values, founded on peace, not war.
It became our official flag in 1965, introduced by Nobel Prize-winning PM, Lester B. Pearson.

"It's not about women's rights. It's about spoiled bitches..."
😅😅😅
No. It's about misogynists who don't understand that women have rights and that cultural misogyny regularly overrides those rights - both legally and personally.
But go ahead. Keep breathing through your mouth.

This spot is iconic because, for many years, the phrase "I smell burnt toast" was synonymous in Canada with Eureka moments, learning and understanding.

Eby spoke of refining our own oil today.
I asked that question not long ago and found a myriad articles explaining why that wouldn't work.
Still, I'm not buying it. That wouldn't be ideal for the US, but I suspect it would work well for 🇨🇦, including for our exports.

How about making Alberta wholly responsible for any pipeline spills and tanker spills/groundings. AB must pay huge penalties to the tune of billions/trillions to BC should any BC wilderness and costal water be contaminated due to accidents or incompetence. In perpetuity.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that Trump has done Canada a huge favour.
We lost our way since free trade enforced a reliance on the US rather than ourselves.
I'm old enough to remember who we were before all that, and I see that innovation and independence clearly on the horizon again.
