Love The Saint. I have another fave movie with an even worse Tomatometer score.

Rotten Tomatoes score of the movie, Mrs. Winterbourne is 15%. There is a picture of Ricky Lake and Shirley MacLean who star in the movie.

Mrs. Crachit is ready to throw hands at Mr. Scrooge. Unlike Scrooge, Drumpf is incapable of any transformation.

A scene from The Muppets Chtistmas Carol in which Miss Piggy, dressed in Victorian clothes & cap, is playing Mrs. Crachit. She's raising her purple gloved hands about to hit Mr. Scrooge, played by Michael Caine. Kermit the Frog as Bob Crachit is horrified & tries to intervene. TMCC is the best!

That haircut always reminded me of someone else's. Stop trying to make fetch happen, Hollywood!

Kevin Costner in the movie, The Bodyguard. Short haircut.

Jim Carrey in the movie Dumb and Dumber. A distinctly short haircut with a boxy hairline.

Beaver & Canada Goose are ready to block for you!

A beaver carrying a hockey stick & the Canadian flag rides on a Canada goose. Both animals have their mouths open like they're making aggressive sounds & appear to be on attack. (Weird, I know.) 4 moose are in a river behind them. The river runs through an evergreen forest.

A beaver is on the back of a flying Canada goose. The beaver is carrying a hockey stick & a Canadian flag. In the background, there are 4 moose around a lake, which is surrounded by tall evergreens.

If you see this, share an image that you saved because it made you laugh.

A picture of Snoopy dancing & the phrase: If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I'm self-employed & we're having a staff meeting.

I've kept this meme on my phone to make me smile when I come across it every so often. Even though it's not dog related. #UglyDogs

I am frustrated, but accept the result. I voted in my predominately blue-signed neighborhood. I'll continue to vote with my community, country neighbours, friends, family, education, & healthcare in mind. She, as Alberta's premier, better work with the federal govt for all Albertans.

❤️❤️❤️ this message of remembering our family members, friends, neighbours, & other community members when we vote. We can do this, Canadians!
(This reminds me a little of Matthew 25:40)

Sign written in a rainbow of colours.
Vote as if: your loved one is an immigrant, your daughter is a sexual abuse survivor, your child is unsafe in school, you can't afford housing, your skin is not white, your land was stolen, your child is trans, your sibling is gay, you are a woman. Vote as if your life depends on it!

Hi there, fellow Canadians! Just a reminder that the federal election is on Monday, April 28. Please encourage, help & set the example to others in your family, friend group & neighborhood by voting. I think Mr. Dressup, Casey & Finnigan would approve. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I've seen a few of our Canadian mascots pictured together. I kind of like this one. The cobra chicken looks particularly angry & the beaver is caffinated while holding a hockey stick.

I don't know how to describe this beyond Canada pride. This is an illustration of a screaming beaver holding a hockey stick & the Canadian flag while riding on a Canada goose.

The UCPs are stuck in backward thinking. This is their bumper sticker

2 bumper stickers on a truck with an Albertan license plate. "Please God, send another oil boom & I promise I won't pass it all away."
"Me again, God...listen, you knew I was just kidding about the whole promise thing, right?"

Officially recognized since 1842...pause. You can fill in whatever pejorative at the end you feel appropriate. I'm partial to what he would use.

In 1842, the Webster-Ashburton treaty officially recognized the 45th parallel as part of the Canadian American border in most places with slight deviations.

Oh my goodness! Recently spotted at the mall. I think band-aids should be merchandised right beside these cat bonnets & cat pants. Some doggos might be more cooperative to wear these.
