Is it not long past time to let some talented women run some things ?! Guys have F@#ed things up long enough . Couldn't hurt! A little more kindness, laughter and cooperation would go a long way .

Considering most conservatives these days remind me of those kids who "challenged" the teacher in high school (while sounding like literal blithering morons) this surprises me not.

Proud to be Canadian.❤️🇨🇦
I'm Canadian.

Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.

Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

I see Mary Hart and Prince Harry sitting just behind the home plate area. Anyone else? Harry was behind Ohtanti as he practiced hisswing before going to bat.

57 Quebec doctors applied for a licence to practice in NB this year. 34 of those were made in October. A massive spike, as all previous months had fewer than 5 applications. QC doctors say they’re feeling pushed out by an ongoing dispute with the Legault government.

Can't stop thinking about Jamaica. The Severe Weather Updates Facebook page reported: "Melissa now holds the record for the most powerful wind gust ever recorded in a hurricane, reaching 241 mph." It is going to be a disaster.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

If early testing and diagnosis is the secret to the most frightening diseases, the labs should be the last place to find a bottleneck, no? Expand the labs so they can handle greater demand?

So anyway sexual assault is ok now, no fatties, women and Black people out, and they can go ahead and kill US citizens as “training.”

But don’t call them fascists.

In a way, this explains the lack of opposition to Trump in the Hollywood / media ecosystem. It's money and lifestyle that matter to them, not principle.

I mean, if you switched out "victim" and replaced with "cause," then, historically speaking, yes.
In other news, tomorrow is Truth & Reconciliation, in which we reflect on how Christian churches committed genocide, but I'm sure the timing of his statement is coincidental.

Hi! PopNB is all out of rapid tests 💔 NS still gives out rapids for free; please contact your MLA to let them know NB can and should be doing this too! You can very likely purchase a single test for $6-15 at a pharmacy. Wish we still had free tests to give out 😢

Saint John city staff & our housing builders need to wake up & stop destroying mature trees & the green spaces in the city. Its hot. Residents need shade. Apartment buildings need mature trees & seating areas. Bus stops need trees & benches. Design cool, pleasant and easy to walk cities.
