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.

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)

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.🇨🇦💪🇨🇦

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.

Total failure in industrial design and in marketing.

LA police state that the protests remain peaceful. Calling up the National Guard without support of the state's governor is the move of a fascist.

Elections Canada shows Carney currently 4 seats short of a majority. Counting resumes this morning.

Also shows just over 67% voter turnout.

But imagine a National Unity Coalition government with NDP and Greens in the cabinet. Give Canada an opportunity to see how much a united left has to offer.

April 9 1917: Vimy Ridge . Bloodiest single day of combat in Canadian history. Nearly 4000 killed. Over 10,000 wounded. My grandfather (pictured) and my great uncle Lyndon were there. The Canadians did what the Allies had failed to do. It was the beginning of the end of the first world war. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Gov Shapiro of PA spoke with a local coffee roaster: the Trump Tariffs will raise the price of coffee by 40%. Coffee and Tea do not grow in the continental US.

Here are some US grown substitutions:

Chicory, Camomile, Peppermint, Ginger.

Tariffs will help you become caffeine free.

Not the day to get righteously indignant about the news.

Except for this very real photo of a baboon butt faced moose.
