In a press release Jack Daniels was whining that their profits and Canadian consumers are being hurt by our own boycott. They still don't get. They say sales dropped 62%. C'mon people we can do better than that. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
Thanks to the crews for making that extra run.
There's lots of boardwalk on the Fogo Island trails. Lions Den had lots. So so beautiful. ❤️
Where do you live that a boardwalk assumes private property? I find that a very odd assumption because where I live, there are many public parks that have boardwalks. Interesting....
Moraine Lake, from the rockpile. Shuttle access only. Was closed to private vehicle access two years ago due to overcrowding. It's near Lake Louise inside Banff National Park, Alberta.
Tatshenshini-Alsek is just so gorgeous and amazing. I thought it was better than Kluane.

Across social media (TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook) you might notice a new trend: posts that include the word “protest” are often suppressed by platform algorithms.
Welcome! Finally!
I don’t know who needs this today, but here you go..
WOW what an incredible show of solidarity with flight attendants fighting for a fair deal at airports across the country. I stand shoulder to shoulder with them and call on the Government to fix the labour code and end unpaid work. It’s about #Values. It’s time to fix it #Solidarity
I once punched one in the breastbone as it was coming in for the French fries, and another time one came off the roof behind me and wacked me in the head with its wings as it yanked half a grilled cheese sandwich out of my hand. Do not underestimate these birds. Weapons required.
There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Most Canadians are against fascism so yeah, sure, I will wear that label.
He won't honour it.
Public sector freebies can't hold a candle to private sector freebies. For goodness sake let them have a free lunch once in a while.
I bet his kids are tired of having their school friends show them another meme. For their sake, I am sorry.
Colbert is going to be JUST FINE. He is revered and will have his choice of new contract options. CBS will get flushed.
I wish I could actually watch the tour. I already pay too much for my basic cable and internet connection to drop another $200 to listen to irritating US based commentators.
I do feel for his kids. They don't need everyone piling on like this. All the kids at school will be showing them all these different memes and laughing. It's gonna be brutal on them. They didn't ask for this.
Study finds A.I. LLMs advise women to ask for lower salaries than men. When prompted w/ a user profile of same education, experience & job role, differing only by gender, ChatGPT advised the female applicant to request $280K salary; Male applicant=$400K. thenextweb.com/news/chatgpt...
It's learning. They learn prey species from hunting with their family. But they are curious and playful and pretty fearless. If they decide humans on paddleboards make good food, and the mothers train their calves on us, watch out.
Oh yes they have! Not generally a recognized prey source but the risk is real. And they are very playful, but the playthings are frequently killed in the game.
Abso-freakin-lutely! They were curious but also, that is a hunting family pod. They were testing the unfamiliar thing to see if it was edible.
Mad about what #CBS did to #stephencolbert & what #congress did to #NPR & #PBS? Drop #Paramount & for around $10 a month you can support NPR or PBS. I have had PBS Passport for years & it is the best streaming service IMO. Every show & documentary ever! plus.npr.org help.pbs.org/support/solu...
I'm on my way!!
Year Pierre, that definitely was personal....
Canadians know this. Most Americans seem surprised (which is probably why they are letting it happen in the first place). #elbowsup

Unless you use the other name for it: climate change due to GHG emissions.
I see you! Alt National Parks social media channel is AMAZING. The truth is there, but you have to find it. The Resistance is still too piece meal, too reactive. You need to ORGANIZE.
Populism is, well, popular. Carney needs a mandate to lead and as much as I agree with you, he can't do this from the sidelines.
This is holding the line FOR America, not against. When you are ready to lead a true resistance, we have your backs.
youtu.be/0raUwo2S70A?... Come hug it out, girlfriend.
They think we are going to stand around and cry. Nope. We are going paint our faces, retreat into the woods, and send special ops down to dismantle their electrical grid. They won't know what hit em. #elbowsup
Do. Not. Yield. A narcissist just keeps trying to take more and more and more. Any psychotherapist will tell you: there is no way to deal with a narcissist. You just have to leave.
My heart goes out to the people, but I hope they remember who was there for them in the crunch!
...and then they came for me, and there was no one left to stand up.
Oh Christ! mJT wants to stop CO2 being put into the atmosphere to prevent climate change! Damn, call it what you want, but that's what she just said.
Okay, my mind is being blown a bit. 🧵 I’m spending the 4th riding roller coasters 🎢 at #CedarPoint in Sandusky, OH. There are probably about 30-40k people here, it’s a huge theme park. I’ve been here for 8 hrs & counting. TONS of USA, flag, Red, White & Blue apparel. Patriot AF! However… 1/

So many of those turds are bots. You can't tell who is an actual human anymore.
They were ready. The American people were naive. Denial is a natural response, but now it's going to be much, much more difficult to recover. Freedom requires courage. They have taken your freedom and now your courage will be tested. Canada holds the line. #ElbowsUp
Yeah, only what...20? 30? years. It's taken a couple of decades to prime the population for this takeover.
Talking to Drumph with words he can understand matters. It's always a game with that idiot.
You recognize a good compromise by how much everyone hates it.
And still...he was re-elected.
And my immediate reaction: Carney has him rattled. Good.
And then the birthday parties eventually stop and you find you have a bin FULL of bags and no one to give them to.
Canada needs to seriously revisit it's position with regards to accepting asylum seekers. Maybe do some advance planning now about where the refugee camp is going to be set up. Needs to be a whole town onto itself.
Should never have become so dependent on one nation for this important service.
There is just SO much evidence that everyone is better off with a more equitable tax structure. History tells the tale.
We have an economic system based in growth. Restructuring the economic system makes sense, and some countries do succeed in developing a tax structure that supports a strong economy without population growth, but the US is not there. The US birthrate doesn't even cover replacement.
I saw a speech from a Catholic nun years ago that hit it on the head - you don't stop abortions through laws, you provide childcare, healthcare, education and housing to give parents alternatives. (Pro choice here, but she was making sense)
This is the kind of support that builds families. Want to grow the economy? Support families to have more kids. It's such a no brainer.
I respect his right to say "show me the plan and I will tell you if I support it or not." What use is it to ask him to assess something he has never seen or been briefed on?
youtu.be/PQOmqA5zgds?... Things to think about.
The rest of the world will... Is... Carrying on without you. The vaccines will be produced, will be distributed...sans USA.
I did. Very USA focussed (because apparently we are arming ourselves against the US, not Russia). I still think it's more about squishing a bug than unifying to throw rocks at a giant. The US has marginalized itself and the centre of power is shifting. They won't get that power back.
I don't entirely agree and Carney said as much in his interview with Amanpour on CNN. USA is not included because they don't want to be. The rest of the world is just getting on with business. It's not a rage reaction, it's just the US doesn't want to participate, so they are being ignored.
This isn't luck. It's a different way of operating.
Assume the detention centres get paid by the day?
A solid foundation is needed for progress. Incremental steps towards the nation we want is the best way.
All good my friend. Now you know. 😁
I was hoping that was some kind of joke that I just didn't understand.
I feel like the US political opposition...is Canada.
Canada's out. Just follow Carney's lead. You'll be right.
I made three trips to the US last year prior to Nov 4 because I was pretty sure I needed to get that done before the election.
Vlad needs him to pull the heat off Ukraine.
In British Columbia, we fly adoptable dogs in from around the world because shelters have so few dogs. Owners are so diligent about getting pets fixed that we have to import.
We boycott in SUPPORT of Americans, not against you. We hold the line in protest because it is a gesture we can make, same with refusing to shop US where we can.

Sadly, Molson and Labatt are no longer Canadian. Neither is Tim Hortons.
Joy=hope. It's the WHOLE battle.
In all of his business endeavours, has Trump ever hired a murderer. I mean, he must have at some point, right?
Fair, and credit to you for standing up in the fight for freedom and democracy. It is exhausting and not over. Hold the line. No kings.
Holding the line against as many US products as I can in support of the Americans who are losing their country to an autocratic dictator.
Easier to kidnap when he's outside the US. ...

Really? Cause the rest of us have been watching the long march to this outcome for at least 20 years. We kept hoping you would wake up and change course, and you never did. And now you have arrived at the place you have been heading and getting out is going to be so much harder.
Resist the urge to "other". Target the source.
What are you talking about?
Huh?
People gonna suffer.
And the lack of checks and balances!! In other countries, the systems have a failsafe that means they don't get away with it. The failure of Congress to exercise any control is the real crime. Why is it all up to the judges?
Or eats food. Or breathes air. Or drinks water.
Food inspections, weather monitoring, health oversight, and air traffic control too. All sources of serious risk. Oh and water monitoring. No way!
“I’m a transgender service member and today was my last day in uniform. After 11 years, eight months and 1 day I’m taking the uniform off for good. I will always be yours bc this rank, these skills, this name will always be me.” ~Technical Sargent Altesse Aurum #TransInMilitary 🫡 🏳️⚧️ @altessaurum
These people direct their energy at entirely the wrong target. This is a protest, not an economic decision. They want us back? Target the source.
Well the alternative is hilariously ridiculous.
Oh god, we aren't even reading anymore. It's a tiresome load of drivel. I don't actually care because he has proven it's all talk with no follow through. We just have to turn off the electricity and the water and it's over.
Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.
I love the people who inject a little weirdness into the day. There is a guy who walks around my work in a full length blue velvet robe. Daily. Love it.
I was so happy to see Mexican carrots and grabbed them immediately (dying for some celery and broccoli but so far, all US...I'll wait). The carrots were SO much better! I'm never going back.
Required by law in Canada. We have a whole department dedicated to supporting learning accommodations.
If you are serious, apply for jobs in the north. They have a more difficult time recruiting for obvious reasons.
Who wouldn't want to with Wabber in charge! Love him.
