Vancouverite, burner of dinner, and terrible gardener. Using sarcasm and self-deprecating humour as my only defense. Get ready for gratuitous cat photos. 🇨🇦

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Message to the convicted felon in Mar-A-Lago:
Unlike you, Canadians don't need to boast or brag.
They are fair and they are steadfast.
They won't lose sleep when a slob like you hurls insults.
That's because Canadians know who they are.
And when push comes to shove, Canadians are as strong as fuck.

My husband is a big kid at heart. Sometimes I think he does these elaborate setups more for himself instead of our offspring.

History teaches us that dictators like Hitler and Stalin attacked the press to crush democracy. Poilievre’s attack on the CBC, echoing Trump’s rhetoric, follows this dangerous playbook—and it should raise serious alarm bells. #cdnpoli

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

Made the error of recently giving the husband the Lego Home Alone house for his birthday. He’s taken this as a green light to start decorating the house for Christmas as he believes I technically I bought him a Christmas decoration.
