I just randomly discovered that Magda Szubanski has stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma (rare blood cancer that's spread) & is undergoing treatment.

It was found when she had a breast screening done & they found abnormal lymph nodes. 😞

I hope she'll be ok.

Get your mammogram done....

Supporters of the nincompoop can be found everywhere, even in Colombia

There's a family here that literally said. We weren't fans before, but now we are. They like to wear shirts with MAGA stuff on it like "Florida vs All Y'All" too.

I guess some people like to advertise their lack of humanity

Good, we should never be a safe haven for those who are responsible in any way for the genocide happening

Trump announces travel ban and restrictions on 19 countries set to go into effect Monday President Donald Trump is again banning people from countries his administration deems dangerous from coming to America.

Trump announces travel ban and restrictions on 19 countries set to go into effect Monday

This is why we are not dropping our guard & making sure people know we are Canadian

What the???

This tweet aged like milk in the sun

Musk-Trump fight: The tech billionaire and the president trade barbs The US president and his former close ally are trading insults and threats - and the fall-out could impact contracts worth billions.

I'm kinda disappointed that I'm missing part of the show due to a flight. The inevitable is unfolding... 🍿🍿

I am relived & sad today about the Election.

Carney won which is great, but it did come at great cost to some of the other parties.

I hope that this doesn't mean we are forever stuck with 2 parties like the USA, we can all see how crap that is

167.... will the Liberals get the 5 seats they need to be a majority?

Icing on the cake would be PP losing his seat 🤞

I never heard that one 😞

Votes are still being counted, which will help to determine if it's a majority.

Nice to see Mark Carney made it. Shame that so many NDP areas are now conservative. I feel for Jagmeet 😞

Watching the results roll in from Colombia with the kids

Elbows up 🇨🇦

Please don't screw this up Canada.

Watching the polls, as the very slim margins between PP & Carney get even slimmer.

I don't understand how anyone could be a PP fan when he's such a terrible human. Same goes for DT fans though too

This week's roll call image for the sailing group....

Sailing Happily Between Sharks by Hernam Paravic

DOGE, National Gallery of Art Representatives Meet to Discuss Museum’s Legal Status Members of the Department of Government Efficiency visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, last week to discuss its legal status.

WTF???

It isn't even a part of the government. They get some funding from Congress, but this is ridiculous.

Good advice

Having seen the impact on some of the islands in the Caribbean & similar schedules ... not much good comes from it (definitely met our fair share of upset locals)

I wonder how accurate the numbers are given that tourism is down overall 🤔

I am not religious, but he certainly seemed to use his voice well. So many others could learn something from him

Rest well

Last week's roll call image for the sailing group I am admin on

Sailing Boats On The Beach - Vincent Van Gogh

Have to admit I laughed when I first saw this & had to fact check that it was indeed true.

The guy is so out of touch, it feels like he keeps looking to the USA for inspiration

One can only hope his desperation is apparent enough that people vote to keep him out of office

Disappointed to discover how many PP & DT fans we know, given both have been pretty good at showing who they are as individuals.
Some friendships will never be the same from this, no matter what the outcome politically.

Thursday afternoon, so here's this week's roll call image from the sailing group I look after in the Pacific

Blue Boat Painting by Violetta Kurbanova (Australia)

We have one job, lets not screw this one up.

There really is only one person fit to be Prime Minister of Canada, who is equipped to deal with the the task at hand.

Mark Carney is that guy.

We all need to get out & vote. Don't leave it to chance.

🇨🇦 Elbows up Canada 🇨🇦

All ready to vote!

Grateful that I can vote whilst in Colombia

Here's to Canada's continued sovereignty!

Guess whose postal vote is on the way (after over 2 weeks wondering if I was ever going to see anything).

This election, I'll be voting for the Canada 🇨🇦 that I value (hint that means voting to retain sovereignty).

I am Canadian!

I got called Canadian as an insult recently.

I actually said thank you. I'm pretty proud to be Canadian.

As a collective, we stand up, speak out, don't take crap from others & think about the needs of others.

Some don't see the value in those qualities, but for me, I'm super proud! 🇨🇦

This is today's sailing related painting that I'm using for roll call.

I love the simplicity of this piece

This is a good thread to explain the bigger picture (not pretty) behind these ridiculous tarrifs

Backbones are hard to find still, as Trump continues to call "emergencies" to suit the current agenda.

Marine Traffic sent an email that March was International Women's Month on the 31st & then went on about attending a tradeshow recently, the real basis of their email.

*Laughs*

If it really mattered maybe they could have mentioned it in last months newsletter that was sent at the start of March?
