While many enjoy the holiday season with loved ones, frontline workers continue to keep our communities safe, healthy, and supported. Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you make every day – during the holidays and all year long.

This message is perfection. My dad was away 4 times on tours of duty during Christmas when I was growing up setving in the Cdn. Navy. I remember it well. This brought tears to my eyes. The true north strong and free forever...
Thousands of members of the @CanadianForces are spending Christmas away from home – standing on guard for our freedoms, and those of our allies. In this increasingly dangerous and divided world, we are ever more grateful for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas.

"And so it was decreed that, each year, the various districts of Panem would offer up, in tribute, one young man and woman to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice." (The Hunger Games, 2012)
Trump has announced an "unprecedented four-day athletic event" with "one young man and one young woman from each state and territory."

So let me get this straight. Soybeans could have been profitable like every year but instead Trump killed the market with tariffs on China and then we gave 40 billion to Argentina who China went to for soybeans instead. Now Trump is bailing out farmers with tariff tax money

Franklin the Turtle was created by Canadians Paulette Bourgeois (writer) and Brenda Clark (illustrator) in the 1980s. The books were written to teach children about self-respect, friendship, courage, honesty, empathy and overcoming fears.

It's almost that time of year when my wife sits next to me on the sofa and glances at me like I'm a piece of shit. Because of what Alan Rickman did to Emma Thompson in a fictional film, released over 20 years ago.

I think if you’re Canadian, you’ve basically won life’s lottery.

Not a single woman. I'm begging you to read “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Gilman. Women have been masters of short horror, and the short story in general, since its inception.

Cranberry in a can, blob style, is the best and most respectable cranberry dish for Thanksgiving. Your cranberry chutneys and other culinary hijinks involving whole cranberries are inferior to blob cranberry in a can. This is an official decree.

Re-upping...
So, Danielle Smith's real name is Marlaina Kolodnicki. Pierre Poilievre's real name is Jeff. I like politicians who don't change their names to avoid scrutinizing their pasts. Maybe we should be looking into that...
