As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon

It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find them

The darker it gets, the more you shine

Do not lose your humanity

If you shop at Loblaws and see this, please turn the package upside down. Help your fellow Canadians boycott the USA. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ 🍁

I can’t put this book down! Mina’s art β€” I can see and feel it like it’s right in front of me. Same with the characters - their world and concerns feel real and immediate. If I had a book club I’d want this on the list!

Friends in Kingston Ontario, could I call on you for a small favour? I lost a pair of glasses downtown near St George’s Cathedral, and might have a lead on where they are but I can’t get to Kingston for a few days. If you can swing by that area today, let me know and I’ll give you the details? 🀞🀞🀞

Yet you capitulate to the bullies, dropping your fact-checking spot with Rachel Gilmore. Shame

No transcription but it's Jeffries on fancy letterhead saying Hegseth should be fired.

Ouf, that's a bad line break. Especially when a significant part of your political identity is 'verb the noun.'

What is he hiding! What’s he hiding from! How is it even legal for him to be leader of the official opposition without security clearance!!

It’s way past time for PP to agree to security clearance. How is it even legal to lead the official opposition without being cleared for security? What’s he hiding? What are he and his people hiding and why?

They’re cutting me off? They’ve been doing these delaying β€œsecurity checks” lately when I log in. It’s back to normal now but the surveillance is just so obvious and seems like efforts to silence
