Just a caution to folks deciding to follow me... you will get rants about a variety of things (usually make the world better stuff), cats, kids, what ifs? And too much about LongCovid. On that note. I need a rest. Later kids. Be kind.

Some people have their panties in a bunch. There is a defined process that triggers review. 2 constituencies are going through this process now. It is not a freaking conspiracy. Grab a snickers or something man.
Ffs. It is a pencil. It has always been a pencil. You walk your ballot over to a sealed and secure box. Get over yourself. There is real stuff to be concerned over other in the world.

On April 4, 2025, the provincial government announced the end of provincial (departmental) examinations for Grade 12 students where an accredited teacher is not in place. The PVSD Board of Education, a long-time advocate for this, applauds this decision as an important step
Having had Long Covid for 5yrs today, I can say with certitude that it's a chronic, inflammatory brain injury. The autonomic dysfunction, neurological visual disturbances, tinnitus, base-of-skull pain, concussion feeling, derealisation... The explanation is experientially obvious

Stepping outside my wheelhouse to tell you what I learned about tariffs today 🤓
Apparently things got heated between Trump and Trudeau during their latest phone call, with Trump using “profanity” during the discussion. Reports say he’s big mad about existing Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy products — tariffs he agreed to when HE NEGOTIATED the USMCA in 2018.
I’ve seen a bunch of people pointing to Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs) on dairy as a reason for Trump’s new tariffs.
NOPE, they’re not. Here is an EXCELLENT explanation of what they are and how they work 👇 The main point: U.S. has an open dairy market with minimal regulation. Canada uses supply management for dairy production, so our dairy is better quality, with fewer supply chain & disease issues (why our eggs are still affordable!)
The U.S. agreed to limit their dairy exports to Canada so they don’t crush our Canadian dairy producers. Only when they go OVER THE QUOTA, do they pay the higher tariffs.
It’s a fair deal — good job Liberal government — I had no idea about this system! If Trump doesn’t like it, he should take it up with the guy who agreed to it 7 years ago (Trump).
Watch below to learn something! 👇
Watch all of this phenomenal address by Danish PM Frederiksen. Every single point is absolutely correct. Outstanding moral clarity and vision for European security. putin's biggest fear is Europe united behind this. Let's make his nightmare reality.
”So far, we have not seen any sign that Putin has any genuine will to negotiate a lasting agreement — on the contrary. A week ago on Monday, on the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Russia launched the so far largest drone attack on Ukraine.
That is not what you would expect from someone who is truly interested in peace.”

The only Canadian retaliation measure that has caught American attention is Doug Ford saying he is willing to cut electricity off.
Ford was on CNN this morning, NBC last night.
American conservatives are noticing this and commenting.
Among the hurricane of lies generated by the Oval Office, none is more insidious than the hoax that punishing Canada with 25% tariffs is about protecting Americans from Fentanyl. You have to be well south of gullible to buy that bull.
