Career re-bout, Arctic Bay, Nunavut Canada ... it’s never too late. Life at 73 degrees north is very different from farming in Nova Scotia. Interesting times.
BREAKING - YOUR REACTION: In case you missed this today, President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Nancy Pelosi and described her as the "greatest speaker of the House of Representatives in history,” adding that “On Jan. 6, Nancy stood in the breach defending democracy,” and
that "She used her superpower to pass some of the most significant laws in our nation's history.” Biden added, “Nancy is a brillant, practical, principled and determined leader." What do you make of all that? The praises? The highest award to a civilian in the United States?
Dear Canadian women: Pierre Poilievre can't win without you. If you're a woman who is against Pierre Poilievre, retweet this. I'd love to see the women of Canada take him out.
Italians didn't believe the polls and now they have a far-right government.
The Dutch didn't believe the polls and now they have a far-right government.
Same for Venezuela.
It's happening around the world.
We need to make sure it doesn't happen here.

Chances are we have all had a meal at Swiss Chalet at one point or another, so let's learn a bit of the history of this Canadian brand!
The first Swiss Chalet opened at 234 Bloor Street in Toronto in 1956. It was opened by Rick Mauran, the son of Maurice Mauran, who founded the Chalet BBQ of Montreal. Rick was also a co-founder of Harvey's.
The first location was designed with exposed-beam ceilings to give it the style of a Swiss chalet, hence the name. The chicken was also cooked in the Swiss way, which involved cooking on a rotating spit over an open flame on charcoals.
That location remained in operation until 2006 when it closed. The building is now gone, having been demolished in 2009 to make way for a condo development.
After the original location opened, it became popular enough that two more locations opened in the city.
The business continued to prosper and by 2021, there were more than 220 outlets located around Canada.
While there were attempts to get the business to branch into the United States, it didn't have much luck. All the locations in the United States and the one in Puerto Rico closed eventually.

I just read a dozen random articles that mentioned Biden’s age (80) but NOT Trump’s age (77). Just three years separate them, and Biden is in much better physical shape.
Why does the media ONLY focus on Biden’s age, and not Trump’s? 🤨
The new Main and Mersey Coffee Bar, Liverpool officially opened today. And with a bit of luck the Main and Mersey Restaurant will open tomorrow. The new Japanese fusion eatery is the brainchild of owners Andreas Arnmar and Shani Beadle who moved to the town several years ago.
BREAKING: 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy sets off alarm bells as he announces that he wants Twitter owner Elon Musk to be his presidential adviser if Ramaswamy wins the nomination and is elected president — and his reasoning is downright terrifying…
Ramaswamy says that he wants Musk to be his presidential adviser “because he laid off 75% of the employees at Twitter, and then the effectiveness actually went up.”
This should strike fear in the heart of every American voter, because Elon Musk single-handedly destroyed Twitter in only 6 months by firing most of the moderators and reinstating the accounts of countless previously banned neo-nazis, white supremacists, and dangerous bigots — turning Twitter into a cesspool of far-right hatred and unhinged conspiracies that advertisers are fleeing from as fast as they can.
Now, Ramaswamy wants to hire Elon Musk to do the same thing to the United States federal government.
This dangerous extremist must NEVER be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office.
Please retweet and ❤️ to expose Vivek Ramaswamy’s dangerous plan — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
