I just voted!

I rendered my verdict.

I find the Ford Government GUILTY of:
EXTREME CORRUPTION
EXTREME INCOMPETENCE
REPEATED LYING
DERILICTION OF DUTY CAUSING DEATHS
SEVERE CRUELTY AGAINST THE MOST VULNERABLE

As such I voted to fire Doug Ford and elect #TeamBonnie!

A stunning view of the partial #SolarEclipse from #space! 🌒

Captured by @eumetsat.int's Meteosat-12 satellite, you can see the Moon’s shadow sweeping across Earth between 06:00 - 12:30 UTC. 🛰

Unlike a total eclipse, part of the Sun remained visible - did you catch it from the ground? 👀

On the eve of war in 1914 or 1939, western civilization had revolutionary alternatives to the status quo and totalitarian alternatives. 2025 has none that are deeply rooted in ordinary people.

So Nazism is merely "controversial" now?

As a person who would definitely be among the first to be condemned to "relocation" never to be seen again, I find that rather distressing.

Today I feel good about humanity because neighbours are helping neighbours who need it without them having to ask for help.

That's what our street does.

I needed help with the snow today and my neighbours were there for me.

I'm proud to call my neighbours my friends.

It is URGENT the rest of the planet treat RFK. Jr's confirmation as a full scale global public health emergency.

The US govt is a hostile evil agent.

It must be resisted.

It must be isolated.

It must be aggressively countered & outfunded with truth.

The rest of the world must step up to lead

How was your week?

Me: Pleasant. Very chill.

Except a terrorist organization [Proud Boys] made a meme attacking ME and distributed it. So yeah except for the terrorists...just another week.

These are the stars in the sky above us right now.

Never ending.

It feels like a metropolis of stars. The opposite of lonely. So much life?

Until you think about interstellar travel and light speed.

*We can't ever talk to them or visit.*

We're alone even if we're not.

Laura is bang on.

Also for 30+ years I've followed and studied Ontario politics. Yes there is a curse on provincial parties after their federal cousins win federally. Ontarians ALWAYS choose to divide power.

I think this year is unique: Ford could win after a CPC win BUT not with an early election

So I literally got frostbite to take this long exposure picture.

🤣

It's a beautiful starry night.

This is looking south facing the Winter side of the Milky Way, which is the dimmer outer parts of our galaxy.

I saw it.

We all saw it.

Elon gave a Nazi salute.

I'm still gasping from the horror of that sight on my television screen.

I remember the lessons passed down to me by my grandparents who risked their lives and endured horrors to stop Hitler.

That's why today I am not swayed by fascist rhetoric and I can identify it when I see it.

We must not take our freedom for granted in Canada. We must guard it at all costs.

Outstanding hat defence from Melania.

Happy Inauguration Day, Americans.

Long Live Canada and her freedom. 🇨🇦

Just got word from our neighbour that a giant Hawk or Eagle was bathing in the pond yesterday!

It was drinking water, bathing AND leisurely sitting on the bench!

It even posed for the cameras! People stopped in their cars to take pictures! And I missed the whole thing! 🤣

My parents will be saying this affirmation out loud every morning:
"Our son Michael knows what he's doing. Everything he does is for our safety, comfort & pleasure. I shall not offer comments unless requested & constructive. I will not yell unless I'm dying or literally on fire."

Dear Americans:

I've seen your apologies.

I get you're sorry.

But it's not good enough.

I don't know if I can ever forgive Americans for letting this happen. I don't think you're the right people to lead the world anymore.

I've lost faith in America.

No one is talking about the NDP.

They are also facing a catastrophic electoral outcome. It's 1993 except this time it's a blue landslide which means it could be even worse than 1993.

Traditional NDP voters, except higher educated, are going Blue.

NDP support could evaporate.

And just like that, it came and was gone in just 20 minutes, Mother Nature decides to change our world with a Lake Effect snow squal.

Yay let there be snow!

The dude with "Fuck Trudeau" sprawled on the front window of his house a block away still hasn't taken it down.

It makes me so angry.

Kids don't need to see that every day on their walk to school.

We don't need politics in our face like that.

It is so disrespectful of everyone who lives here.

We have a government and a Prime Minister.

Until further notice, the Prime Minister is Justin Trudeau.

No one can negotiate for Canada and no one speaks for Canada unless they are authorized by the govt of Canada.

Period.

This is what our winter pond looks like.

That corner is managing to stay ice-less even on the surface as long as pumps are running.

Local wildlife are very happy, foxes and birds are using it for drinking water.

We'll probably be iced over until February.
