So making up alternative facts is a long standing US tradition. I'm reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, about the Chicago World Fair of 1893 and came across this passage, "big enough to hold the entire standing army of Russia".

This didn't start in October 7. This parody aired on Spitting Image in 1989. It was controversial then and is no less so now.

Tommy Douglas. We don't remember his contribution enough. A whole generation takes for granted what he wrought. Let's bring him back to the conscious mind of Canada.
Our next story is about a man who didn’t chase fame. He didn’t build skyscrapers. He didn’t star in movies. But he did something that touched every single Canadian life — and still does.”

His name was Tommy Douglas.

They buy it because they need it, not because we 🍁 are force feeding them. Does he not get that?

In Newfoundland, capelin roll on the beaches early summer, to spawn. It's a celebration. Children squeal, adults splash about, we forget the water is cold. Those with nets help those without. Capelin can be fried, dried, corned, smoked, and pickled. Great fertiliser for the potato patch.

My very Canadian 🇨🇦 question...Meteorological data collected by the USA was a facet of forecasting and modelling worldwide. What alternative sources are available for that information? And if there isn't any, are we and other countries funding increased collection? Extreme events happen here too.

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.

BREAKING NEWS:

The White House was evacuated today after a suspicious package arrived. It turned out to be a copy of the constitution of the United States, which none of them had seen before.

This was not our experience on a recent transatlantic cruise. But we were a small party of 2 who flew under the radar.
