My life happily revolves around canoeing and music. For canoeing, every year, I disappear on lakes and rivers in the Yukon! And for music, I represent some very kick ass artists (Kobo Town, April Verch, Wesli, Pharis & Jason Romero) @ Near North Music.
Trump was in no real panic to call in the NGuard on Jan 6 for the Capitol Riots .. but hey LA ….

President Trump, "We don't do much business with Canada"

PM Mark Carney, "Canada is the largest client of the United States"

Trump fact-checked in real time 👏

So Trump and Putin will meet to decide on Ukraine, and Trump and Nethanyau will do the same to decide on Gaza … anyone been left out of the negotiating equation here? What can possibly go wrong, eh?

No Trump .. the people of Canada don’t want to be part of the USA, we do quite well as is and have done so for a long time. We know your deceitful way of working things … so STFU.

The next weeks, months, and years will test us as Canadians.

Whatever our political affiliations or where we happen to live, we need to come together as Canadians. We live in an imperfect but great country that we need to defend.

It's time for #TeamCanada. ❤️🇨🇦

With all the deep troubles in the world these days, seeing the love and sense of community that Taylor Swift shares amongst her audiences, I find totally heart warming .. it might date me to say but I recall that the Beatles were equally such a positive force in their early days!

I understand the passion and conviction on part of Luigi M to take action, but after all is said/done he has ruined his own life and from the sound of it he had the world open for himself. There has to be a more effective way of dealing with corporate - insurance rip offs and misery they create.
