Born and, one way or another, will die 🇨🇦

Canadians are born all over the world, it just sometimes takes them a bit of time to get here

All opinions my own
The front page of cbc.ca this morning. Two separate stories highlighted in the MOST PERFECT WAY POSSIBLE. Well played, CBC! Well played

The USAers aren't okay.

Leaving aside that the NSA has no role in auditing elections, and that the CIA is a foreign intelligence agency rather than a domestic one, we now live in a world where USAers believe any election that wasn't won by their team was stolen.

I want off this rollercoaster

LMFAO YEAH RUSSIA. YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT

The "decision to launch... Strikes on the territory of a sovereign state, REGARDLESS OF THE JUSTIFICATIONS OFFERED, constitutes a blatant violation of international law"

Pot. Kettle.

The hypocrisy is too much

Is it like a requirement for US citizenship now to deny the election results if your team loses?

I have so many words. Most of which contain expletives. This shit is so frustrating - like no you DID elect this guy, this IS who you are as a country. You ARE responsible for this decision.

Hey Yanks,

I watched some of your dictator's birthday parade yesterday. Looks like your army needs some marching lessons, so here's a handy visual guide

Note how the CAF marches in synch - I'm sure we'd be willing to send you some NCOs and officers to train you, if you ask nicely

My latest acquisition from the Royal Canadian Mint!

The detail on this Avro Arrow commemorative coin is stunning, and frankly it wasn't overly expensive either. Highly recommend picking one up if you're into coin collecting

This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard from the Hockey Canada trial. You're telling me that neither defense lawyers nor the judge know that Uber automatically retrieves your pick-up address? Are you joking???

Not linking the article since the overarching topic deals with sexual violence

Sooooo I guess this means the relationship between the world's richest human and the President of the United States experienced a... rapid unscheduled disassembly?

Gonna be honest, I didn't even know trilliums came in velvet red. My god are they ever beautiful

Gatineau Park hike was VERY worth it!

Day 1:

Leaves = gone
Weeds = weeded
Perennials = out
Mulch = mulched

Next step: potted plants in the terrace

I love spring

To quote de Gaulle: Les États n'ont pas d'amis, juste des intérêts

What a depressing perspective.

Out for a walk in Gatineau this evening and saw dozens of signs for @gregfergus.bsky.social like this one.

If you don't support the Liberals that's very much your right; but defacing campaign signs like this is both morally reprehensible and also actually illegal

Very saddening to see

This was probably the best moment of the entire debate - it appeared to shock everyone on stage, you could have heard a pin drop.

It makes me wonder how many of our politicians actually realize this truth

Your biannual reminder that Daylight Savings Time is dumb. We should all make like Saskatchewan and just... Stop.

Who had "Germans see France as their most trustworthy partner" and "Germans consider reintroducing mandatory military service" on their 2025 Bingo cards?

Happy #FlagDay Canada!

60 years of our beautiful standard, symbolizing our True North Strong and Free!

And always remember: "it's cool in many ways to be Canadian! I won't say that we're better, it's just that we're less worse"
