Pope Francis molded a Catholic Church where I felt comfortable calling myself a Catholic again.

May we choose another Pope who continues Francis’s legacy of inclusion, hope, compassion, and ecological justice.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

46 students?!?!

Good lord.
Looking just at core subjects (math, LA, social science) the largest K-to-3 class size in EPSB this year has 38 students.

The largest core academic class in high school? 46 students.

For just under $1000, your child can experience the exuberance of a McDonald’s birthday party! It comes with 10 happy meals and 10 cones!

www.breitbart.com/politics/202... Smith tells Breitbart that US should pause its tariffs against Canada because it is benefitting the Liberals. Trump should want the CPC to win because "the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America."

I tell ya, I am absolutely loving sunset Charlie Angus. His brand of pugnacious indignation is exactly what would bring the NDP from the ashes of the next election. We need more former punk rockers in politics.

So if you told me a year ago that we’d be living through Canadian Bacon, I wouldn’t have believed you. But here we are.

The Democrats need to grow a pair. This sign bullshit is not it. They should either have not attended that spectacle or heckled the absolute hell out of that man.

Do something. Get dirty. Don’t let this happen with a whimper and curling over.

I will quibble by saying that someone who avoids riding level debates hasn’t run an excellent campaign. One should have the decency to engage with their opponents for it to be excellent.

Just my two cents.
London North-Centre is probably a coin flip right now? Maybe incumbency slightly weighs the coin to the orange side?

This is the #ldnont race to watch.

The Kernaghan and Pribil teams have both ran excellent campaigns, but can Pribil make up 4,000 (the margin in 2022) votes?

My youngest boy asked for sloppy joes tonight. I told him that I’d make them extra sloppy for him.

He appreciated the sloppiness of the joes.

It’s time for us to tear down our inter-provincial trade barriers.

I want to buy wine from the Okanagan valley not the Napa valley.

I want to buy Albertan beef not Texan beef.

Buy Canadian, folks. Or more accurately, just don’t buy American.

Doug Ford is doing what is best for his own self interest and not the self interest of Ontarians. He fears he will lose government if the headwinds keep blowing the way they are in 2 years.

Govern, you cowards.

For most of my life, I thought the relationship the United States and Canada had was infallible. After today, I just don’t know anymore. Regardless of whether or not Trump actually makes good on his threats, our relationship with the US is irreconcilably altered.

So BlueSky is essentially Twitter before the cretin ruined it.

I think I’m going to like this place.
