So, DJT, Canadians are 'nasty' are we, DJT? www.youtube.com/shorts/oOGiY... Depends on the meaning of the word.Yes, some times.

OTOH, as I understand the meaning of the word, you and your minions, DJT, are always nasty:
N — Narcissistic
A — Arrogant
S — Self-serving
T — Threatening
Y — Yappy
In Canada, “nasty” is just pride with the gloves off.

25 years ago today, a day known simply as 9-/11.
If you don't remember 9/11.
If you were a child or not born in 2011.
If you don't know the story of Flight 93, check my FB page.
May such a terrible event never happen again.
Vote as if your life depends on it.
Because it might.
Never forget 9/11.

Welcome to British Columbia, Canada.
Canada will never become the 51st state.
"Never mistake kindness for weakness."
Well done, Premier Eby.

Dolly Parton made a difference in this world. She modelled compassion, selfishness, generosity, kindness and joy, all wrapped up in delightful creativity and talent.This world is better because of her, for so many reasons. Two handmade cards made to remember her. Rest in peace, Dolly - & thank you.

Words from a wise man whose wisdom is based on countless generations. Thank you, Bishop Charleston. May your warning be heeded. May people listen. May your wisdom become embedded in the hearts, actions of those with the power to make decisions that could reverse the potential existential threat.

The Epstein files have still not been fully unredacted. Survivors continue to do what they can to keep the matter before the American public in large, small, outspoken, quiet ways. Rosie O'Donnell helped some with this project: www.instagram.com/reels/Dc0kN0... Don't let DJT get away with it.

Arva Mills (arvaflourmills.com) is Canadian. 🙂

I've just learned about them and will be ordering a number of things - starting with their potato flakes and vegetable flakes. My fall and winter soups are going to be soooo yummy and healthy! Thanks, Arva Mills.

DJT thinks he can name Lake Ontario. Such ignorance! Again!!

My heart continues to ache for the people of the US who know exactly the kind of leader DJT is & are now caught in the crosshairs of the fascist agenda of DJT. Don't give way to that fear dear Americans. It's what DJT etc. want.

Tod is right ..."Donald Trump has no idea what country he's messing with." Check out this short video to see what I mean. www.youtube.com/shorts/mOdwZ... ...

DJT isn't going to be happy to learn about this work of art, entered into competition at the Sooke Art Show on Vancouver Island (sold for $1800) by Wendy Chartrand .Sounds as if it's going to be the first of a series of manure-media political paintings. cheknews.ca/horse-manure...
Horse manure portrait of Donald Trump becomes unlikely hit at Sooke Fine Arts Show
The artwork, titled "The Don of Dung," was created by Vancouver Island artist Wendy Chartrand using dried horse manure as its primary medium.

Nancy McClure's latest post ("Nancy Unfiltered") on DJT, forest fires, smoke, Canada: www.facebook.com/groups/64227...
"Carney didn't ask me to. Canadians did that all by ourselves. Not because anyone ordered us to. Because that's how democracies work. Citizens decide. Our gov't is doing its job."

US politicians John James, John Moolenaar, Jack Bergman, Lisa McClain wrote to Canadian PM blaming Canada for the smoke drifting across the border. Watch this www.youtube.com/shorts/zB2ZH... & recognize the lack of commonsense & intelligence clearly missing in the letter. By-elections needed now!
Canada is burning, and America is complaining about the view.

Tomorrow is July 4th.“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men <sic> are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”
"Unalienable Rights"?? Read the Declaration of Independence. Do you recognize the US today the way it was intended? I don't.

MAiD, Medical Assistance in Dying, for many, is a difficult topic. Thanks to the Anglican Church of Canada, there are now authorized "Pastoral Liturgies at the Time of Death in Context of Medically Assisted Dying" for trial use, evaluation & feedback. www.facebook.com/share/p/18Q6...

Many describe DJT as a narcissist. Greek god Narcissus, known to be cruel to others & vain beyond comparison was brought down by reflecting water! Nemesis, goddess of divine retribution, delivered retribution.
Time for Nemesis to enter DJT's life.

Thank you, Tod. Once again, you say what many are thinking/feeling. Yes, Canadians are "happy to share, (as we have in so many ways over the decades) ... " just not surrender." Great artist rendition of your tshirt design - and another great YouTube video. www.youtube.com/shorts/ifyPT...

Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) voted to move toward formally excluding women from pastoral leadership. Am in sad solidarity with those who believe they are called to ordained ministry, but will not be allowed, simply because they are women. (The Rev. Dr. June Maffin, Anglican Church of Canada).

Canadians, if you didn't get the long form census and wish you had, Tod Maffin made a hilarious long-form census you can complete (census.todmaffin.com)`
and in a few weeks, will publish the results.

And he's done one for Americans too: us.todmaffin.com
