Soooo, I excitedly signed up for a Gander account today but am unable to post or comment unless I have an organization email (nope - retired) or I scan an identifying document like my passport (nope - not sending any of my ID through the internet). So, no Gander for me. Sigh. #Gander #Canada

Didn’t get the long-form census? 😡 Me neither. But Tod Maffin made a hilarious long-form censure you can complete, and he’s publishing the results. You can take it now at census.todmaffin.com Seriously, this was very fun to do.

@mark-carney.bsky.social ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Don't even consider Iran for a millisecond, or else you'll find millions of Canadians occupying Parliament Hill. And we'll be very, very pissed. Enough of us have died in American forever wars.
Not one more drop of Canadian blood.
Not one single drop more.
