@CraigBaird I love this show so much, it is hilarious! If you're exploring british TV, watch Googlebox, a reality show about people watching and commenting on TV programs. There is a regular folk version and a celebrity version. Another laugh out loud show!

Let’s clear something up about MAID in Canada.

It does not apply to children. You must be 18 or older. Mature minors do not qualify. Full stop.

It does not apply to people simply because they are poor or struggling. To be eligible, you must have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability, be in an advanced state of irreversible decline, and be experiencing intolerable suffering that cannot be relieved in any way you find acceptable. Financial hardship alone is not a criterion.

It is not a rubber stamp. Approval requires assessments by two independent practitioners who review your medical records and confirm you have seriously considered available treatment options. When death is not reasonably foreseeable, a minimum 90-day assessment period is required.

People whose only medical condition is a mental illness are not currently eligible either, that eligibility has been postponed to March 2027 while further safeguards are studied.

You can have moral or religious objections to assisted dying. That is a legitimate position held by a lot of Canadians. But spreading misinformation about what the law actually says is not an argument. It is just fearmongering. Know wtf you are talking about before you talk about it.

On a per-person basis, Canada is attracting more foreign investment than any other G7 country - roughly double the next closest and our highest level in 18 years.

More investment means more jobs, more growth, and more opportunity.

🌞Good morning Canada. My sunday thoughts.

Watching, reading, reflecting on the Conservative media messages for the past week, especially since the by-election results were announced, I'm more baffled. Is this what a party-in-waiting believes will convince voters?

Exaggeration. Fabrication. Source laundering. Coordinated message flooding. This isn't opposition accountability. It's a disinformation infrastructure. Canadians just delivered a verdict at the ballot box in 2025. And the CPC responded with more of the same.

Multiple Conservative MPs flooded social media with the same "legacy media is Liberal" talking point within hours of each other. That's not independent thought. That's a coordinated communications operation with a single author and a distribution list. The goal isn't persuasion. It's pre-emptive inoculation, poison the press before the fact-checks arrive so the base never has to process them.

Poilievre claimed Carney "hasn't uttered a single word" on tariffs. Verifiably false. He ran an entire election on tariff sovereignty and has engaged the US administration directly. A real CBC headline attached to a fabricated conclusion.

He labeled Toronto's condo collapse "the Carney housing crash." The structural failure (developer financing costs, interest rate tightening, pre-sale absorption failures) was documented throughout 2023 and 2024, before Carney held any elected office. Real data. Fraudulent attribution.

He cited a right-wing British opinion columnist in large bold type as a verdict on Carney's central banking record, stripping out COVID supply disruptions, the Ukraine energy shock, and Brexit trade friction because context would destroy the claim.

So the question stands: why should Canadians trust and vote for individuals who govern their own communications through exaggeration, obfuscation, manipulation, and cherry-picked facts?

You grab your coffee ☕️. I'll pour myself a glass of wine.

Enjoy your Sunday.

🌞Good morning Canada. Happy weekend.

In the last 24 hours Poilievre posted six attacks on Carney. Not one holds up on causation.

The intent is volume. The cause is an opposition with no affirmative economic vision. The effect is a scrambled timeline where accountability becomes impossible and governing becomes harder.

📌 UK inflation: peaked two years after Carney left the Bank of England.
📌 Toronto housing crash: built on rate hikes Tiff Macklem ordered, in a pipeline that collapsed before Carney took office.
📌 Federal debt at 100% of GDP: achieved by combining provincial and federal numbers, then attributed to a PM who has governed for months.
📌 Tariff silence: demonstrably false.
📌 GFANZ "bankruptcy": GFANZ still exists.
📌 The Telegraph quotes: a single opinion column by a financial commentator, laundered as verdict.

This isn't opposition research. It's a coordinated saturation campaign designed to make every bad economic number feel like Carney's before anyone checks a single data or fact.

Meanwhile Carney spent his day in talks with 50 countries on the Strait of Hormuz, meeting Quebec's new Premier, and confirming a Groceries Benefit top-up of up to $267 landing June 5 for millions of Canadians.

One man is doing the job. The other is tweeting. Substance vs. Noise.

You grab a coffee ☕️. I'm off to farmers market.

Imagine waking up and not being able to turn over.
Not today.
Not tomorrow.
Not for years.

Your legs go numb. Your shoulders burn. Your back aches constantly because your body isn’t meant to stay frozen in one position.

That’s life for a mother #pig in a gestation crate. A metal cage so small she cannot even turn around.

We would NEVER treat a dog this way.
We would NEVER treat a car this way.
But for pigs, it’s considered “standard.”

No one should live their entire life like this. Don't turn away just because she's a pig.

Admin Post:
Heavy snowfall warning—15-30 cm possible starting tonight. And I'm still trapped behind ice I can't cross from New Year's snow. My heart #&*%ing hurts. Gutted. Exhausted beyond words.

Weeks of great weather: no snow, above freezing, paths I could've used. Days to get out with my service dog or walk the puppy, feel alive, fight the darkness in my mind that grows and smothers me when I'm housebound. But it's bigger than mental health—it's total isolation from the world.

Two houses on my street never cleared their sidewalks. Thick, rutted ice like a wall. My power wheelchair can't cross. That blocks my route to the nearest bus stop. Impossible to reach transit. Parking a van with a ramp in winter in most areas? Forget it—"accessible" stalls too small, windrows piled high, street designs like snow covered boulevards that are hostile to anyone with mobility issues who needs to drive. No safe spot to deploy the ramp without risking the street or getting stuck.

So what does that mean? Cut off from doctor's appointments. Groceries. Pharmacy runs. Community resources that keep me going. Everything essential. My world shrinks to this house while the city claims "accessibility is a priority." I call BS. Priorities are the things that get done.

Reported to @CityofEdmonton via 311 two weeks ago. Screenshot attached: photo of the ice, report still "open." No update, no officer visit, no warning. Their process: investigate within 4 business days, then often a "courtesy" warning (not required) for voluntary compliance. This means a disabled persons right to access the community is less important than someone's opportunity to comply with a by-law. Weeks get wasted. Melt days gone. Beautiful weather I could've used—slipped away while I waited, trapped.

The bylaw requires sidewalks clear of snow/ice. Enforcement? Drags. Warnings first (even after weeks), $100 fine + cleanup only if ignored. No priority for accessibility complaints, even though blocked paths don't inconvenience—they disable. They isolate. They harm mental and physical health. Year after year, it's the same failures. No change.

I'm not just sad. I'm furious in a quiet, bone-deep way. My dog stares at the door, tail low, confused why we don't go. I choke out "not today" and it rips my heart out every time. This isn't living. This is surviving.

@CityofEdmonton @AndrewKnack: This system is failing disabled Edmontonians. Fix it now.

For accessibility-impacting cases (mobility/mental health/transit access at stake): skip courtesy warnings. Issue the fine immediately after confirming violation. Make it waivable—if homeowner proves cleared (photo/receipt), waive. If valid reason (illness, disability) and they contact the city within 2 days—waive if legit, connect to community shoveling resources. Escalate fines for second/third offenses to deter chronic neglect.

Benefits: One officer visit vs. multiple follow-ups. Faster compliance. Less burden on bylaw. Real priority for people who can't wait weeks/months to access their city.

The only real reason not to change this—to hold negligent homeowners more accountable—is that it would force the city to hold *itself* more accountable too. And let's be real: the city's own snow-clearing delays, windrows blocking paths, slow responses to complaints, and hostile designs have been huge accessibility fails for years. If we're serious about inclusion, everyone—including city operations—needs to step up.

This incoming weather buries paths deeper. Buries hope. More snow coming, and who knows when the next chance to successfully get anywhere will come.

If your sidewalk's blocked, or you've been stuck waiting on 311—reply, quote, share. Tag the city and mayor. Make them hear us.

We deserve access. Not excuses. Not "open" status while we're shut in.

I’ll say it plainly: Mark Carney is the right person for this moment, and the people losing their minds about it are proving exactly why.

Canada is not weak. Canada does not “suck.” And we don’t need to burn our institutions to the ground because a loud minority is addicted to grievance politics.

No leader is ever going to align with 100% of your beliefs, and that expectation isn’t principled, it’s childish. What matters is competence, stability, and understanding how power, markets, and geopolitics actually work.

The nonstop “Canada is broken” rhetoric, born with the convoy and kept alive by Maple MAGA, is a gift-wrapped talking point for foreign interference. Undermine trust. Stoke resentment. Convince people their country isn’t worth defending. That’s the playbook.

I’m done pretending that constant cynicism is patriotism. It isn’t. It’s destabilizing, unserious, and embarrassingly easy to manipulate.

We don’t need louder outrage. We need adults who understand the stakes, and remember what it means to be Canadian.🍁
