And have home invasions increased? Are Canadians wringing their hands over the use violence, or lack of use, or are we worried about things. PP is so far out of touch. He hasn't been back a month and already I am tired of him.
Husband, dad, granddad, thriving and alive. Happy to continue contributing to the world in my post-retirement. Hoping that we find a way to understand each other in our differences so that we don't make mortal enemies, but collaborators on a loving path.

This is a very good read. Carol Off re-claims some of the words we use to divide. She has added to the conversation.
A clear-eyed summary of which governments have done what over the years, for those freaking out about where the Liberals are right now. Provides a lot of perspective.
Great responses. Thankyou.
The headlines in mainstream media are screaming that the appeals court threw out the massive fraud penalty against Rump. However, the court didn't overturn the conviction. He still defrauded people. He is still a crook. It's just less punitive. This is not a story.
PP is not electable as PM
We are enjoying our google pixel 9
I am most not a binary thinker. And yet, this article provides moral clarity. It's exact, precise and piercingly straightforward. I also know where I stand. substack.com/@johnpavlovi...
Stupid people dont realize how stupid they are
What a stupid man. Does he think we don't know?
Absolutely!!.
He is a completely stupid man
Thats fucked!!
🕺🕺🕺🕺🤸🤸🤸🤸🎉🎉🎉🎉
It can be changed back.
Nooooo!! 😭
No wonder he was boo'd at the Junos
Girl. Im gay. I recognize the behaviour. That boy is threatened by something deep within himself.
He is repressing something.
I continue to be completely uninterested in what this person has to say.
Kristi Noem is a monster dressed as Barbie
Is this real?
Perspective. Step away. Get to someplace where beautiful people are enjoying the gift to be alive. We come with only so much resilience. Take in an outdoor concert where kids are laughing. Breathe. Find joy. Tomorrow's mess will be there tomorrow.
Happy Canada Day beautiful people. Here is an image from the Junos to brighten your holiday!!
Summer flowers gladden the heart.
Is America great yet? You all picked this.
Yup
You have no idea how much I needed this
Anyone else absolutely fed up with the overwhelming nature of social media? Where can we find the goodness in the lives of our friends without the barrage of everything else?
Sounds like you are reading it correctly.
It is all distraction. The real shit is coming to the US. SCOTUS is freaking nuts. And Canada needs to cut our losses. Who cares what Rump is doing.
Blair was a very good PM
It makes America great again. Don't y'all feel proud?
Is America great yet?
He got boo'ed at the Junos. Very awkward.
I love everything about this. I bet you are an amazing parent.
Is America great yet?
Excellent piece.
Just finished watching six seasons of Schitt's Creek. Crying my eyes out. When you need something other than chaos and vitriol, watch what love among the ruins looks like. There is goodness in the world. Brilliant television.
Alberta exceptionalism at its finest. What a bunch of BS. Albertans don't have enough to do.
Is America great yet?
Sad but true.
Is American great yet?
It's disgusting in every way. Incubating a baby inside a dead woman's body was the most barbaric. Pro-life except when it comes to starving children in Gaza. Is America great yet? Disgusting in every way!!
This is a horrible decision and consistent with a SCOTUS bought and paid for by the deranged despot in the oval office. Is America great yet?
This all tracks. The US has a deranged, narcissistic, despot who gets his intel from Fox News. Is the US great yet?
The US is now the world's axis of terror. Inside its borders and outside. Led by a deranged psychopath, ICE is the Nazi SS and Christo-Nationals are the US version of the Taliban. Trump is the plaything of both Putin and Nehtenyahu, while oligarchs get richer. Great yet?
Bush was also tanking in 2001. He needed a war to boost his popularity. And we got 9/11. Republicans seem to do this.
He doesn't have enough to do.
Attended the 50th reunion of my high school graduating class. It was a remarkable weekend and in case you'd like to read about, here is a link to my substack. open.substack.com/pub/blairodn...
I don't think he should speak. Obama. We may be agreeing with each other.
Well, for starters. POTUS began a trade war with Canada, your biggest trading partner. As I noted elsewhere, canadians pay attention when you elect incompetents with his finger on the nuclear arsenal. As Robin Williams once said, living in Canada is like living above a meth lab.
No blocking, just good healthy conversation. I just read Heather CR's article on Juneteenth and it was fascinating. 2 things. The most conservative judge on SCOTUS is African American. Canadians pay attention when the US elects the nutbar with his finger on the nuclear arsenal.
The thing is, all Americans have contributed to the conditions that got us here. The number one problem, I have said this elsewhere, is the "great American dream" that champions the rights and privileges of the individual over and above the rights, privileges and responsibility to the common good.
Oh that's funny. I'm a Canadian too.
They owe you nothing!! You get out and lead. This fallen America is on all of you. You want change? Go make it.
Bluesky is dying?! Really? Repost if you're still actively using Bluesky and not posting on X. www.spectator.co.uk/article/blue...
Alberta exceptionalism is becoming kind of boring. Health care is in the toilet. Public education is in the toilet. And rumblings about separation just show your constitutional ignorance. Geez. Kids whose parents have sold the family farm don't have enough to do.
Shut - the fuck - up
She is a cow
Stephen Harper was and is an ass. His sucking on the air (might have something else) of Preston Manning turned him into a pre maga MAGA
Agreed. Maybe it's a whole new thing.
Thank you for this. Holding it all in prayer
Maybe he is governing like a Progressive Conservative. Sure seems like that to me.
Cuz that's the best way to change your popularity and approval rating. Insane
I'm grateful we have the CBC. He would gut it.
Doesn't anyone see the direct parallel to Nazi Germany? This is Hitler's playbook.
Yes and I want to understand why. I will only explore this quedtion when I know they're willing to hear why I am not.
Thats despicable. Albertans really think this is a good idea? Selling schools? Selling hospitals?
Think of this however. If he wins in Alberta and stays as leader it's good for the Liberals. PP is not electable across the country. He is the cons' liability. He can not win acrois the country. We saw this. Keeping him prevents the cons from ever forming the gov't.
It's disgusting in the extreme.
Bless them.
That tracks
We knew this was coming. Who do you think will be next? Rubio? Miller? Leavitt?
We knew this was coming. Who will be next?
He is delirious. Why would anyone want to come to the US? www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...
Is the US great yet?
Lets stop reposting his headlines, his social media posts, his interviews. Silence the guy. Let what he says die with yesterday's news.
Is this real?
Nothing Christan about cristo-nationalist triumphalism.
That guy is not Christian. Those values are not consistent with the Jesus movement of the early first century. It's not biblical. There is no theological rigor in any of what he spews. What we do see is cristo-national BS wearing the veneer of a christian caricature, that Jesus himself would cleanse
That has nothing to do with Jesus and it's high time people stop using his name in vain. That's #3 in the top 10. And if there's anyone out there, reading this, getting confused about who and what Jesus is about, ask me. What Joni Ernst said Is not it!!
Thank-you, Peter Julian!
Didn't Dolly Parton have something to do with Moderna? This is insane.
Reddit sucked. Deleted everything.
youtube.com/live/Y3M8s1o... What sets us apart. What has the potential to unite us. Nothing comes close. We are Canadian.
Democracy also involves voter engagement. And that extends well past election day. How do we all get involved? How do we do our part in scaling the tall building??
This is classic Trumpian distraction. Let's trot out the next big shiny thing so they can distract us from looking at the Trumpian corruption happening throughout the government. And the mainstream media is lapping it up. We aren't as practiced at maintaining focus. But, Alberta is teaching us.
I don't think I will travel to the US again in my lifetime. I never say never, but I really don't see it happening.
Hottie
Anytime you like
I don't think I have ever read anything so pathetic. What happened in Rump's life that brought him to this place of soullessness. I actually feel sorry for the little boy who is lost inside him.
Stunning
Man of class and wisdom. Thank-you Peter. You're an inspiration.
I wonder what would happen if we all stopped reposting media stories about PP. What if we just let those stories die on the vine of yesterday's news without giving them any more energy.
Thankyou Donald.
Posted my first Substack. Im seriously wanting to shift the conversation open.substack.com/pub/odneybla...

Do not dance with the devil. The golden dome is BS and not the way of peace.
