Interview w Chrystia Freeland. Fascinating. Her take on Trump is something to take note of. It reenforces my stance that we need to not beg but to say "whatever" and stand our ground.

Canada, boring? Nope, its a land of bizarre events and crazy people. Join Rhys (A new Canadian) as he attempts to convince Jesse (Your average disengaged Canadian) that it’s actually a fiery rollercoa...

Random thought. With books on the enslavement of Black people being removed from library shelves, what will happen to the Smithsonian?

Just an FYI to our doctors stateside who are looking to leave the US, come to Toronto Canada and and have patients who are mainly gay men this may be just the place for you.

(mind, I am sure the clinic will be happy to have Canadian applicants too grin)

I think the city is afraid of getting sued. If the issue is city property I think this is where houses of worship and homes for humanity can step up.

So far, regarding email to the 4 main parties regarding food labeling, only the Green Party has responded.
February 13, 2025 at 9:12 PM
I emailed this in part to all four main parties:

Canadians want to follow the call not buy goods from the USA.But foodstuffs in this country are NOT clearly labeled. Prepared by, made by, and produced by, are misleading.

We need to have these products clarified at the supermarkets and shops.

Sometimes you have to ask. Email reply from Unico
Our products are grown in Canada except for certain items such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Passata which come from Italy. We also have some products from South America and Turkey.
