As a Canadian, I want to know what the politicians think so I can understand what's going on and I fully expect cooperation from all. No whining, finger pointing, or joking please. Don't waste everyone's time and my tax dollars.

A decade? How about those who have no decades left?

Astounding! I've been looking at it for at least 5 minutes to understand what I'm looking at and I need a lot more . . .

Thanks (I think)

Thank you for that! I had an "uncle" who was a Skywalker; I just knew that he was a Mohawk who worked on bridges and high places. I'm delighted to know the term even after over 60 tears.

Where do you get all the otters? Does Steve grow them at the bottom of the garden? I would like some seeds if you can spare them.

Seriously, where are they coming from? You don't seem to have an end to the water sausages. Are they taking over the world?

Exquisitely done.

You should sell them in Finland; the brodalisques are the epitome of being pantsdrunk. Check wikipedia: "it's a way of life in Finland".

They also remind me of getting weed and planning the activities (mostly eating) in the early 70's.

Good times . . .

Just to be clear: not dead. Disgusting that the word "right" might not mean what it used to.

How public grocery stores could work in Canada - CCPA Chances are you spent some of your holiday gatherings talking about the price of food. Costs to consumers have increased by almost 30 per cent since 2020, while mega-grocers doubled their profit margins, and total profits ballooned by over 120 per cent. The growing distrust of Canada's oligopolistic food retail system, where five large chains…

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians Our plan is moving Canada’s economy from reliance to resilience, though some of the biggest long-term payoffs of this transformation will take time to be felt.

#CDNpoli Have you seen the latest announcement from the PM? Poor Skippy, what will he complain about next? Other than the cost because he won't agree to anything other than "money in your pocket". I want my money to go further.

At first look, I thought it too busy. Then I saw the women and table, then the garden, and then I started again. I could imagine the sounds and temperature of the garden and thought how wonderful I would feel standing in front of the painting.

Having a more subtle tone would feel very different.

Hang on to your hats boys and girls, we're in for a bumpy ride.

I read the whole thing and, to me, the only good thing was the use of the Oxford comma. I am impressed that the document effectively insulted the entire world (with notable exceptions), an astounding accomplishment.

I've seen the beauty and culture of Ukraine, the day to day life (with many, many bookstores and art galleries). I'm honoured to learn about your history and what a determined and resilient people you are.

A Canadian publisher has called out the United States for using the image of a children's book character to brag about murdering unarmed people in international waters.
This is a decrepit gangster state.
This is the world of Donald Trump.
This is demonic.
