When sloppy snow ploughing of a street leads to two lanes being reduced to a lane-and-a-half but dude-bros in trucks (often Dodge Rams) are determined to pass everyone going single-file because everyone (except them) recognize that there aren’t two lanes today.
That.
That.

Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

I know this Canadian will never ever forget.
Trump didn’t just pardon January 6 participants—he freed violent offenders who attacked police. Some have already been arrested again for murder plots, child abuse, and deadly DUI crashes.

Facebook reminded me that 11 years ago today, the “feels like” temp was dabbling in the sub -40C range. For my American friends, -40 is where Celsius & Fahrenheit agree & what we Canadians lovingly refer to as “stupid cold.”🥶

I know how annoyed I was when DJT mused that Canada ought to become the 51st state… can’t imagine how the folks of Greenland feel after seeing Katie Miller’s map of their beloved home.

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

A Canadian friend sent me this photo of one of their formally busiest border crossings into our country.
This crossing was built with multiple checkpoints to handle the old crowds; with waiting times from 1 to 3 hours to get through.
They no longer come!

Growing up in Winnipeg, we learned early in life how to get a car unstuck using a number of methods including straightening the wheels, clearing snow from around tires & getting a push from a willing passer-by.
Pinning it is not a recognized method.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn’t happy that his name has become synonymous w/racist immigration enforcement.
ICE’s policy of detaining people based on ethnicity is called a “Kavanaugh stop,” named after his ruling that allows it. He’s afraid the name will ruin his “legacy.” Too late!
