I crochet, I listen to books, I play in my little garden, I bake bread, I dabble in watercolour. I keep a raging eye on politics here in Canada, and in the US. I am liberal and whatever the opposite of elite is.
OMG! that was some unbelievable baseball! the wrong team won, obviously, but still - what a series!

Blue jays at my feeder this morning! I don't see them often, so I am sure it is a good omen.

So a couple of times each day I approach my computer to check the news. And each time I say aloud 'Is he dead yet?'.
Please tell me I'm not the only one to do this!

I just completed the verification/registration process to vote for the Liberal leader. It was a bit of a nightmare for me - on my phone, which I loathe - but I got it done. The really good news is it was much too much trouble for the clowns to go through to mess with the vote!

This isn't particularly insightful, I know, but I think there is no doubt that the gutting of American institutions in the name of 'America First' is going to result in America alone and failing. If there are no safeguards on any US products/services the rest of the world will not buy them.

Like so many others, I am feeling a whole lot of things about the current political climate on both sides of the border. One of the things I have been feeling the most strongly is helpless, and I hate that. So I joined the Liberal Party and made a donation. It's not much, but I feel better.

I'm feeling very discouraged this morning. PMJT leaving, DJT arriving, PP endlessly yapping and EM just crapping all over everything everywhere. I fear we are in for a very rough ride. Canada doesn't feel like a safe space today.

🧶 Very irritated with myself this morning. I planned my new project, chose colours from my stash, bought MORE yarn so I would have enough for the blanket and got started. The colour scheme is awful! Ugly! I have 25 octagon centres, 8 rows in on each, and I refuse to continue. Aaargh!

🧶I got it done before the year is over! I worked on this one off and on all year, with lots of breaks to make other things (mostly sweaters this year). I am so glad it is finished!

🧶 Finally finished my latest sweaters. I had to do the tee-shirt twice because I foolishly followed a pattern that did not work, so I rewarded myself by making up the cardigan as I went along.

Actually, we do know that Canada isn’t going to go along with it. Get bent, Watters 🇨🇦 You may want to hand your country to a felon idiot, but we do not. #cdnpoli #uspoli
Watters: So many reasons to make this a state. I think it has the third largest oil reserves in the world… I don't know if Canada is going to go along with it, but there's ways to maybe change their opinion.

Trump will pick his tariff items according to his personal 60 year old "get even list" while China, Mexico and Canada will be putting 1,000s of economics PhDs to work mapping out the US economy block by block just like political campaigners map out a redistricting.

You're not going to be able to develop a highly informed, nuanced take on every conflict in the world, but I'll give you a good heuristic
Always, in every circumstance, be opposed to the wanton slaughter of civilians, no matter what elaborate excuses folks throw up about why this time is different
