"I have some books I would like to sell"
- vague
- unimposing
- could mean anything

"I am burdened with glorious purpose"
- wow who is this suave gentleperson
- what they offer me will surely be worth the price
- this confidence seems trustworthy

⏳🦋⌛️Chinese Cat Goddess Li Shou, tasked with running the world, preferred to lie in the sun or chase butterflies. She suggested Humans would be better suited to the job, so the Gods took speech from Cats and gave it to us - but Cats are the Keepers of Time.

Waiting for even one @UCPCaucus member to stand up to Kenney's lie about Alberta being ignored re Trudeau's childcare deal.

@sunlorrie Canada's success? Perhaps you are unaware that Canada is the largest per capita emitter of GHGs in the world. We were never as dependent on coal as most countries were given our large hydro/elec resources.

You haven't lived until you've watched two 21st century children, faced with a rotary phone for the first time, trying to figure out how to use it.

In 1947, a then-19-year-old Alex Toth had one of his first major gigs - drawing for National Comics (now DC). Unfortunately, he got sick and worried he'd be fired for missing deadlines. Toth's mom Mary called his boss Sheldon Mayer, and here's what happened next...
