We came
We saw
We walked
We made a wrong turn at Albuquerque (oops)
We raised $26,411 (or perhaps more on final count) for the Cedar Centre
We recuperated with dogs
We drank adult beverages
We burned things

Thank you to everyone who supported my #rideforrefuge (got my gold pin again, woo-hoo!)

This was an experiment, based on stuff in the fridge I needed to use up. EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS!!! Holy hell, this was good. Cold-smoked salmon, blueberries and blue cheese, basil and fresh ground pepper. All organic. All locally sourced. ALL GONE, because it was too delicious.

Just an FYI, if someone tells you they're disabled and they don't look like they are... the chances of them lying about it are way smaller than the chances of you just not understanding how hidden disabilities work. Hope that helps.

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other.

Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity.

Ontario has reintroduced Bill 6, which will punish encampments even though people have nowhere else to go. That's why we've formed the Encampment Justice Coalition. We're asking Ontario to rescind Bill 6 and commit to housing — not punishment.

Some of the #CanadianElection #Disinformation I’ve seen this week just boggles the mind.
A caution that the disinformation machine is working hard – especially in the last few days before the election.

Check your sources, check your own cognitive bias, and don't believe everything you read.

Worth checking out, #CanadaSky

This is not an endorsement, I haven’t had a chance to look deeply. But I do very much like the bit about my data staying in Canada, especially.
After a long bit of toiling, we're proud to announce the launch of Gander Social—a project to bring a new kind of social to Canadians.

Canadian owned and hosted, a feed you control, privacy-first, consent-based, respectful by default.

Join the Early Access program: gandersocial.ca
Gander: The Social Media You Want, Built for Canada
Fun, private, and ethical. We're changing the way social media is done around here, all without your data taking an unexpected trip south.

No matter what polls say, this Canadian election could be VERY close.

Don’t be overconfident, apathetic, or unstrategic, like too many were in the United States.

Look how that turned out for them. And for the world.

TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS.

2 more advance voting days.

Make Mark Carney our PM.

Project 2025 was the roadmap for DOGE and the destruction of a non-partisan civil service.
Conservative insiders are bragging that enacting DOGE NORTH would be even easier in Canada.
Trashing the public service is key for the fascist playbook.
Please read my latest.

DOGE NORTH: Another Chapter in the Fascist Playbook
It was called the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. This lofty-sounding legislation was the battering ram by which Hitler destroyed the independent civil service in Germany.

If I may, a few basic thoughts thread on the debates and platforms.
No particular order.

Taxes
PP claimed Canadians are paying more in taxes since the Liberals took office.
Other than the neutral carbon levy, taxes have gone down for most people. Liberals also added benefits etc for many.

Marking myself “safe” (so far) from the ice storm, since people on FB were apparently concerned - but I can’t log in because power and Internet are down, & I think some cell towers too, because only intermittent texting possible. Am preserving my battery, so please let those on the other sites know!

Trump has insulted and threatened to destroy our country. The Americans are waking up to the fact that when you threaten us, Canadians play for keeps.
The boycott is causing major economic mayhem.
Other nations are joining Canada in the resistance.
