Tell Carney we say “Fuhgeddaboudit!” to a tariff deal It is increasingly obvious that Canada isn’t going to get any kind of “trade deal” or tariff deal from Trump
He is incapable of figuring out what he wants or negotiating a deal, or sticking t…

I wasn’t going to do a post tonight, but today’s news about Trump losing control of the Epstein cover-up conspiracy story is so incredible I just can’t resist sharing. And I’m calling it Epstein-gate because why not:Feels like a tell.[image or embed]— …

I know I usually do a funny post for Sunday, but this week I think we need it earlier! So, here we go:

I’m sick and tired of talking about tariffs. Aren’t you? But here we go again –  just when we started to think there might be some kind of progress toward some kind of agreement, Trump throws another spanner into the works.
Tariffs on,…

Hunting down posts about the coming AI financials implosion helps take my mind off the tariff chaos/human rights tragedies/natural disasters/utter chaos everywhere else.

Before doom befalls us on August 19, I wanted to recommend some interesting articles and comments – they aren’t exactly a beach novel, but good reads all the same.

First, the more I read journalist Cole Bennett, the better I like his stuff — his c…

Prime Ministers and PM wannabees always go to the Calgary Stampede.

I have never seen the Statue of Liberty in person and now I never will, because going to New York is not going to be happening anymore. But for Americans, Lady Liberty exerts a powerful force of symbol and aspiration. Now, as the United States sin…

Just to entertain everybody while we wait for the apocalypse, here are some recent articles I liked:

It only feels like its been a decade since July 1 2024, doesn’t it? Time for some celebration:      Trump to Canada: “I’m not talking to you.”
Canada: “Thank God. Now off to enjoy the Canada Day weekend in peace.”

Canada hasn’t had to do as much “Elbows Up!” cheering lately as we did last winter — we are rapidly getting used to the new reality of not travelling to the US, not buying US products, and laughing at the Orange Buffoon as often as we can.
But I thin…

I’m seeing random stuff all over tonight, so here’s a few of my comments on the passing scene. First, the destruction of academic and scientific research in the United States continues. I just do not understand why they are so angry and what they…

First, here’s Trump. How stupid is this?

The night the Iran bombing was announced, this is what I posted:
I suspect Trump bombed Iran tonight because his military parade was a bust & the G7 leaders laughed at him & Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov rid…

I usually save most of my funny clips and posts for Saturday night, to make a funny post for people to read on Sunday.
Tonight everyone is doing hot takes on Trump’s decision to bomb the nuclear sites in Iran — but we don’t know yet how Iran will res…

I’m seeing some funny posts tonight about recent news stories so I wanted to share. It looks like the G7 may have had an uninvited guest: View on Threads

Well, the Oilers won’t be bringing the Stanley Cup back to Canada this year. They played well overall but in the end they just gave up too many goals. Tonight’s game was not a joy to watch.

Sorry about the Oilers. I prefer the Leafs win the Cup …

Hundreds of people on social media predicted all weekend that Trump would leave the G7 in Canada early because he is:
1. mad that his parade was a bust
2. bored with Canada
3. outclassed by Carney
4. hurting in his fee-fees because all the other l…

On October 1st 2022, the Government of Canada removed all COVID-19 border measures such as required proof of vaccination, random testing, and mandatory isolation for high-risk travelers. For the first time since early 2020, the Canadian border is operating under “normal” conditions. For example: Americans interested in visiting Canada no longer need to download the […]

As of April 1st 2022, the Canadian border will no longer require a pre-arrival negative COVID-19 test from fully vaccinated travellers entering or returning to the country. Previously, a rapid antigen test or a PCR test indicating a person does not have COVID was required by border authorities. This rule change should encourage Canadians to […]

After being closed for nearly 19 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on November 8th 2021 the United States land border officially opened to all fully vaccinated Canadians. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced they will be staffing their border at pre-pandemic levels, but warns that wait times may be longer than in […]

On August 9th 2021, Canada opened its border to all fully vaccinated Americans allowing tourists from the United States to visit the country once again. The US border remains closed to Canadians, however, and American authorities recently extended the border closure until September 21st citing COVID-19 transmission rates south of the border as well as […]

Most Canadians are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Consequently, Canadians are starting to think about international travel again, and are beginning to research possible vacation destinations. This leads to the question, which countries can a fully vaccinated Canadian visit? As of July 2021, Canadian citizens who have received two doses of the Pfizer, Moderna, or […]
