I’ve always disliked the phrase “have a good day” or worse “have a good one”. They are such meaningless comments. I’ve changed my thanks to anyone providing service to “I hope your day is filled with happy customers”. It’s amazing even the grumpiest clerk returns a big smile. And I mean it!

To best prepare take the U of A online course Indigenous Canada. It’s free and an excellent starting.

They also have Ted Cruz yea

They look like Canada Geese. Our contribution to No Kings Day.

Always important to remind us of help available. As a grateful receiver of help in the past I know there is a way thru with that help. Thanks to all who serve.

Currently in Cancun. Supermarket I visited had a pallet of flats of eggs (24) for about $3.50 cdn a dozen. No shortage here

What mystifies me as a Canadian is that in America the party of the Governor or President who pick a judge matters. As if real justice and laws are so flexible that political party matters in a legal decision.

Always concerned when anything starts with “I’ve heard”. Where are the facts and proof. I’m ok with trashing PP but not with innuendo.

Thanks. Great to connect with you.

Thank you. I’ll search for the book.

Yikes! Just got a blast of almost 1000 new followers in the last day. Thanks to my friends for including me. I’ll be going thru the list over next couple days. I check each follower to make sure it’s a positive connection.

Two more suggestions:
Endeavour - incredible story of Ernest Shackleton’s escape from Antarctic disaster.
Bonhoeffer - the life of a hero on Nazi Germany

I’m building a list of books and movies of people who demonstrated real courage in a fight for what is right. If you have suggestions please comment.
Just finished Long Walk to Freedom - Nelson Mandela.

Thank you

As a Bob I’m a little offended. 😄

The Nazis would have sent him to a camp just for being black.

🇨🇦 At a time when so many political and business leader are such cowards , buckling under to tyrants and personal financial greed, I’ve built a reading list of hero’s.
A Woman of No Importance
Three Young Girls
The Hiding Place
Stories of real heroism. So far mostly women heros. Going to continue

Canadian friends, I urge you to consider this petition to prevent the Canadian government from making an exception to its ban on felons entering our country. Keep Canada Trump-free! As of right now, there's over 46K signatures. 🇨🇦🍁

Love Britbox and Acorn. Excellent selection of British, Aussie and NZ originals.

I will sign this e-petition without hesitation.
Fellon47, you are a menace. The only thing you are going to create are graveyards and ruins.
I am Canadian 🇨🇦

When it comes to Donald J. Trump, let's, "Keep him out! Keep him out! Keep him out!"
Sign here: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

As of this morning, all ten provinces and three territories are represented through signatories on House of Commons Canada Petition e-5345!
Thank you to the citizens and residents of Canada for making it happen!

Canada

Still a great Canadian piece. This interview is heartwarming and inspiring as we face real existential threats.

This is the start of the “brown shirts”. Predictable in the fascist playbook.

In all my reading of history I can’t find an example of a democracy dieing in a month. American institutions are all compromised by MAGA leadership. An oligarch has taken the most valuable data on millions of Americans. Threats to take over sovereign territories. And protections nowhere.

I’m now sure the overall strategy of Trump and his minions - Lebensraum.
If you don’t know the reference read some Nazi history.

Doug Ford is the Neville Chamberlain of Canada. Every political leader in Canada needs to relearn that bit of history from 1938. The worst is to come.

Don’t let this a “Neville Chamberlain” move. We must not give in to a tyrant that can’t be trusted.
