I feel there is a smart ass response I should be creating but I've got nothing. Well done you.
I’ve worked in public libraries for 20 years, today was the first time we’ve had to tell someone they couldn’t bring their chainsaw in the library.

This is such horseshit. There was no secret about who Trump was, how nuts he is, what he wanted, how dangerous he is. This is just blaming the media for the problem that the voters just didn’t care.

Cripes ... what idiocy. The rain over the past couple of days kept anyone with an ounce of brains in doors (as much as possible). Doing walkies was not required.
It's raining super hard, let's go on a hike with the dogs on a small island in a soon to be raging river! Dumbest folks out there!

I went out to get some supplies today.
Guess what?
I was the only one wearing a mask.
Many people coughing.
Why are people so fucking stupid?
Does everyone enjoy being sick?
I don't.
I am surrounded by fucking idiots.
My Ted Talk for today.

The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Don’t you dare forget their names.

Could be is without merit. Chose the better option for Canada and it’s true allies.
"American F-35s could be serviced in Quebec"
"Could be" - as in not likely.
The Gripens will be serviced in Canada, that is already guaranteed.
L3Harris could do it.
And they will be built in Canada for Canada and possibly other customers.
That is also guaranteed.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.
Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.
