Does anyone actually believe the data being released by the US right now?

Mark Carney has paused campaigning to deal with severe turmoil in the global financial system. He has the knowledge to safeguard Canada's economy.
Meanwhile, PP is posting genuinely dumb policy proposals that are proven losers (i.e. 3 strikes, new war on drugs.)
Vote Carney.

Pierre Poilievre may not have been looped in on the planning, but he knows damn well why the Indian government (who assassinated a Canadian on Canadian soil) wants him in charge. It's the same reason the Russians and the American far right want him.

Because I am a lucky person I got to hang out with this absolute king last night. He's got a little skin situation that requires a onesie but he's making it work.

Boots, Not Suits.
Really? Has Mr. Lifelong Politician ever worn a pair of work boots? Maybe when he tours his many rental properties he puts on a shiny white hard hat and new steel toes. Not cringe at all.

Northern and Central British Columbia look forward to meeting the US invaders.

Going to take a little break from the sunshine and positivity of the online world for the rest of the day. If the Dipshit decides to bomb Canada, someone give me a call.
In the meantime, here is Ralph. He and my novels-in-progress have asked for my full attention.

At my gym there were not one but TWO Conservative anti-Carney ads on a loop on different channels. It is hard enough to do cardio without being subjected to PP's ridiculous red commercials threatening that Carney will be responsible about climate policy. The horror!

The sunset last night was exceptional. 5 stars. Or rather, one star being dramatic on its way down the driveway.

RALPH
1. Threatened Ranger for looking at his food.
2. Strutted around looking macho.
3. Did feats of acrobatics during frisbee.
4. Threatened Ranger for existing and being a wussy show kelpie.
5. Was cute and snuggly, but in a threatening way.

Buy Canadian. Cancel your trips to the US. This is not a drill. We are stuck between Putin and this absolute f'ing idiot.🇨🇦

A week in Oaxaca and two days in Mexico City and I am smitten with the art, the food, the fashion, the vitality! All apologies to those who had to listen to my Google Translate attempts at Spanish.

If anyone is in Oaxaca, Mexico, on Wed, Feb 12 at noon, I will be giving a reading and talk at the public library! I have not brought the duck suit due to space constraints, but will bring the duck suit attitude.

As Ranger becomes more committed to wandering (ranging, if you will) and Ralph's career in vomiting takes off, it occurs to me that I should have named them Obedient and Iron Guts.

But before I attempt to disengage for the night, I leave you with these photos of two very fine dogs.

From the boycott files: Ralph likes this frozen kibble from Primal, a US company, for a treat. I asked our excellent local pet store for a Canadian alternative and they said I was the third person who asked today. They are currently sourcing a new Canadian product to take its place.
