Police in my town requested homeowners register their video camera’s & even that creeped me out. I don’t have one but if I did I wouldn’t register it w the cops.

Your anti policies are harming girls in sports.
A screenshot of an article in the Edmonton Journal dated September 18, 2025 with the headline: “Early dropoff in girls' school sports linked to new gender confirmation forms” 'Girls are taking a hard hit, while nothing is happening with the boys' Screenshot of a paragraph from the article explaining how Alberta’s archaic policies harm girls. “There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender," said another parent. "Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified."

Shopify defended Trump’s tariffs.

Now their stock is tanking thanks to Trump’s tariffs.

That’s what you get for defending Trump. And Nazi merch.

Another screenshot of a paragraph from the same New York Post article: "Canada thrives when it works with America together. Win by helping America win.

Less than a month ago he told Canadians “believe nothing you see or hear on CBC”

Pierre doesn’t like scrutiny.
Screenshot of a tweet (I refuse to call it anything but Twitter) from Pierre Poilievre stating: So, barely 60 days before an election, Liberals promise another billion dollars of your money to CBC to give the corporation extra incentive to campaign day and night to re-elect the Liberal government to a fourth term. A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC. Sign to defund the CBC: (link to the Conservative Party website so they can get your info - and your money) Pierre has a Defund the CBC meme with the tweet - if you can call it that. It’s black background with a red “Defund” and white “the CBC”. Beside is the CBC logo distorted with a $ with a line through it (diagonally as opposed to the straight line that is already in a dollar symbol).

There’s a Great Lake on the other side of this snow #LakeHuron
A massive snow bank beside a road with some small Canadian Flags in the distance at the top of the snow bank. A silver mini van in front of a massive snow bank for scale - the top of the snow bank is several feet above the roof of the minivan.

Today brings the total snow days for the year (so far) to 4 entire weeks for the kids where I live.

And this is the size of our snowbanks along our highways so makes sense lol

Here’s another from the winter of 2014 during the Olympics.
A wall of snow with the words “Go Canada” and the Canadian Flag in red spray paint on it. There is a person Ontario clothing standing in front of the wall of snow and looks to only come up halfway to the top of the wall of snow.

Is this just a Bruce County thing or does everyone spray paint their snowbanks once they get higher than 6 or 8 feet?

Not my picture, not my art but I endorse this message 🇨🇦
#TariffThis #CanadasWall #TeamCanada
A wall of snow so high you can barely see the sky at the top of the picture. It’s spray painted with “Tariff This!” in green on the left hand side and “Canada’s Wall!” in red on the right hand side. The wall of snow from further back to show a man with his arms raised and the wall of snow is still a couple feet taller than him. There are other sayings and hearts etc spray painted in various colours on the wall of snow.

Car crashes.
Train crashes.

I’m sure that’s all the crashes we have to worry about though.

It’s fine.

I just filled out a survey which was obviously commissioned by Telus - apparently they’ve already decided the Liberal leadership winner 😂

According to Ekos the Conservative vote in 🇨🇦is collapsing 👏👏👏

Dec 20 Cons up by 25 points
Jan 17 Cons up by 11 points
Jan 22 Cons up by 7 points
Jan 24 cons up by 5 points
Screenshot of a tweet by Frank Graves of Ekos Jan 23/25: “Quick update. The margin between CPC and LPC has now shrunk to a barely significant 5 pts in our most recent 4 day roll up. I have rarely seen such straight line decline. The NDP are now at 13%. This is a profoundly different voter landscape than even a month ago.” And a screenshot of Frank Graves original tweet Jan 22/25: “Liberals Break 30 Points Following Trump Inauguration”

Wait but she knows more about masks than public health & the hospital. Make it make sense
Screenshot of a paragraph from the Western Standard article titled “EXCLUSIVE: BC nurse risking it all in stand against mask mandate” stating “Lindsey drew attention to the type of mask being mandated, surgical, noting that they "do not effectively prevent the transmission of airborne viruses" and are "primarily designed for droplet precautions." She said N95 masks would at least provide "better protection."

Sometimes living in a small town cracks me up.

Suspicious person or a beaver? Better call the cops to investigate 😂
Screenshot of a police report in the Shoreline Beacon titled “Beaver Found” with the following details: A carved wooden beaver has been returned to its owner after being left in the middle of the road. On January 12 at 1:30 a.m. officers were dispatched to a call of a suspicious person in the Town of Port Elgin. The suspicious person turned out to be a carved beaver sitting in the middle of the roadway. Officers took it back to the station and the owner was located later that day.
