Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the Excited States of America.

As you know in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving in mid October as a harvest festival. Screen print for today's weather in case you wonder why mid October.

After the Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners for the American League Championship over 150 Toronto fans made donations to the Seattle Children's Hospital..../2

Dear CPC

Getting Charity Seat Pete to resign in the next couple of days will save the leadership review.

Mark Carney will still be PM.

Find a leader from the historical PC side of your party. Another leader from the Reform side will ensure failure.

Step up or fold. We deserve better.

What tonight demonstrated was that the Dodgers have the stars but the Blue Jays have the team. $57K a year rookie in his 7th ML start strikes out the "best ballplayer of our generation" Then a pinch hitter in his first WS at bat hits a historic grand slam. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Tonight American League champion Toronto Blue Jays meet to defeat the LA Dodgers.

In unrelated news Donald will not be watching the game because he hates LA and he hates Canada.

The rest of us love LA, love Canada and love baseball. May the best team win. (y best team I mean the Blue Jays in 7)

Here I am agreeing with Ronald Reagan and Doug Ford. Maybe this is the year the Leafs win the Stanley Cup: Hell has definitely frozen over. 🇨🇦💪🇨🇦

A thought from Dr.King for No Kings Day

"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence."

Be safe. Be peaceful.

I come from a long line of antifa men and women. That's my dad and his antifa buddies in their antifa uniforms. Half of them died for the antifa cause.

And because of their antifa activities Canada has a strong democracy.🇨🇦💪🇨🇦

Thinking about Robert Redford, and his film Three Days of the Condor. He plays a CIA analyst whose life is endangered because he has discovered a coverup. In the end he gives the story to the New York Times because they have more integrity than the US government.

Yeah that's dead too. RIP

Ya know, Charles' grandfather did not invite Hitler to dinner. But then again, his prime minister was Winston Churchill.

200 yards. Single shot to the carotid artery. No witness.

For comparison Oswald was 88 yards away from JFK. Oswald was an ex-Marine certified marksman. He needed three shots. His gun was seen poking out of the window.

Clearly a professional hit. Who has the resources and motivation?

Our 🇨🇦 boycott of US tourism is not a government to government action. It is millions of individual Canadians choosing to not travel to a fascist state...

Questions:
Does a discharge petition resulting in a House vote that passes require a parallel vote in the Senate?

Can the House alone compel Bondi to release the Epstein files?

If the Senate doesn't join is the next step to hold more press conferences?

With the promise of a signature from Luna the discharge petition is one Republican short.

Surely there's +10 Republican parents of young children who have the most immediate reasons to sign.

A more immediate reason than the morally repugnant behavior that is documented in the Epstein files.

Russian Tsunami? Heck yeah, why not. You already have a Russian pawn president.

Is this biblical retribution?

Only if you believe in the Bible.

If you don't then it's probably the result of verifiable geological forces working in an unplanned random manner.

Love for you to learn a bit about the best little music festival on the planet. Read my Substack.

Totally irrelevant post about anything other than politics.

Can someone please help me understand? They call this a couple's pillow but I only see one person.

Also, that doesn't look very "ergonomic"

Total failure in industrial design and in marketing.

July 1st 1867 the Dominion of Canada came into being as a confederation of the British colonies in North America. In the ensuing years our people have come to this country from all over the globe. We have embraced each wave of immigration and joined with each other to create the caring, abundant...

Last light... Toronto...Starry Night kicked off Toronto's annual Pride weekend. Proud poppa to have my daughter join Hollywood Jade in supporting an awesome parade of drag queens on stage. Happy Pride Toronto

The last President to have a parade through the streets of Washington was Jack Kennedy. It was not a celebration.

Neither is today.

Hey Canada: review the fascist history: after mobilizing the armed forces to suppress dissent and to round up "undesirables" one of the very next steps was to invade neighbors. California is the front line Canadian defense. 🇨🇦
