Have I told you lately that ... ? - and do you forgive this 80-year-old Canadian for stealing (I DO say it's from you!) your most brilliant passages to share on every social medium I can find? There are some brilliant writers publishing on Substack, but for condensed information, thoughtful opinion, and biting wit- you outrank them all. And you even mentioned our Charlie Angus in one of those newsletters. I quoted a lengthy piece from him explaining why our family was not going to attend a lovely wedding on Long Island last week:
"Canadians take the security of the border very seriously.
In fact, we take it so seriously that our citizens refuse to and will continue to refuse to cross this border because we are no longer neighbours with a nation where it has become possible to arrest judges in courts and kidnap people off the streets.
We will boycott everything American – your wine, your produce, your tourist destinations – as long as you are under an administration that denies our fundamental right to sovereignty while demonizing our nation as some kind of terrorist gang haven.
Patel, Noem, James, Cruz, and Trump are people who live by the lies, the smear and intimidation. But you will not intimidate Canadians.
Our refusal to cross the border isn't about fear. It is because we will not stoop to spend a single dime in a country where decency and the rule of law count for nothing.
[Kristi Noem], you could have reached out to our leaders, law enforcement, and border communities to discuss, as neighbours, how to make everyone safer. But you don't know the first thing about being a good neighbour.
And MAGA America are not good neighbours.
There are many good American people who are friends, relatives and allies, but we will not cross the border at this time. Not until the rule of law returns."
Love your name Daina Janitis . Forgive us -the peeps down under here- for we claim no part in the debacle , to boot are dedicated to doubled destroying de facto desperados. Topping that ..our utter amazement of his (dwindling )base being so entrenched..while remembering their names. They actually believe(d) him.
It was point blank shocking.
We are so grateful for your Carney stand (et al) and yes please continue your boycott 👏
If mailed votes rig the system, how did Trump win in 2024? Then show evidence as to how 2020 was “rigged”. So, that’s what the president, in search of peace, got out of the Alaska summit?
We keep applying fairness and logic to the shameless and spineless. We're the Golden Retrievers and they are Wild Dogs, the most dangerous animals in some zoos. They do not want to be friends if you don't look exactly like them and if you're not part of their pack.
And here we are, dear Mary, knowing full well how we got here, struggling to stay afloat and positive in this torrential downpour of misaligned deeds playing out in Washington, but still so ready to smile a bit with your words each and every day. "Indentured servant with a casserole dish" brought a giggle along with a vow never to go back to that description again. Glad Marz is standing guard for you even with diminished eyesight. He's a keeper and so are you!
I don't want to cast aspersions - no, really, I don't! - but I'm pretty sure Hegseth wants his wife to vote. Two votes for Trump from his household.
Re the OO Gift Shop: nothing catches my eye. Those phony trophies on the mantel are beyond tacky. I would have that portrait of Lincoln, though.
As for agents of whatever stripe milling around, I had a thought: issue each one a pokey-stick and a bag or bucket. Instead of loitering in hopes of throwing down a delivery person, they can pick up litter and beautify DC.
