How many tattoos yall got? And which is your fave and why? This is my fave. It’s a portrait of my son Aidan before he passed away from childhood cancer. When I took the photo I asked him what he thought about cancer and the finger was his response! It became a pretty viral pic amongst the cancer community.

Proud to stand with #SmokeFleet and #CanadianBakin. We’re done watching MAGA and MapleMAGA tear democracy apart and saying nothing. We fight back. Every day.

Is it just me, or did someone get into the bronzer that night? Why do strong women just turn him into this?

Canada wastes almost half of all the food it produces every year. Nearly $58 billion worth. This is a system failure. The average household throws out 140 kg of food annually, costing them over $1,300 they’ll never get back, and 63% of what gets tossed was still perfectly edible.
The Liberals already put $20 million into the Food Waste Reduction Challenge to start tackling this, and now they’re building on it with a No-Waste Food Fund aimed at helping everyone along the supply chain, farmers, processors, retailers, find ways to cut, repurpose, or redirect food before it hits the bin.
So thanks to PM Carney for actually addressing this. Real policy targeting a real problem that hits Canadians in the wallet every single week.
This isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s a grocery affordability issue. When nearly half our food supply never gets eaten, that inefficiency gets baked into prices. Less waste means more food actually reaching consumers, and that matters when one in four Canadians is already food insecure.

Good Evening, my Muchachos. Tonight I have someone fresh out of the slammer. It seems she asked too many questions about the Epstein files, so Donald told Elon to put her on lockdown. Brains—looks like she has it all. Follow @Jordan_TeT this #LiamsAngels #smokefleet member today to get the whole news story!

Calgary guy claims Loblaws has small margins and doesn’t make a lot of money.
Jun 12
What’s more important to understand is what drives inflation in the first place.
Loblaws has a tiny profit margin, they aren’t gouging you no matter what Carney and the NDP says. If you thinks they are making too much, I’d encourage you to invest in their stock. You can start small with WealthSimple with zero commission and as little as $1.
Ok, so what causes inflation?
It isn’t necessarily the cost of the product going up, but more likely the value of your dollar going down.
This is caused when government creates currency faster than productivity increases. Why would they print money? Because they have no plan to pay back the debts.
Building more bureaucracy through deficit spending will devalue the currency, thereby driving up inflation more than any tiny difference this ‘plan’ will solve.

The Carney government just dropped a $3.2 billion food security strategy and it’s worth understanding what it actually does.
Right now, only 11 cents of every dollar you spend on groceries reaches the farmer who grew it. Five companies control 80% of the grocery market. And Canada exports billions in agricultural products while turning around and importing processed versions of the same food from the US at a markup.
This plan attacks that problem structurally. $1 billion goes toward food terminals and distribution hubs so independent grocers can buy directly from Canadian farmers, cutting out the middleman. The Competition Bureau gets a funding boost to go after the property control tricks big grocers use to block competitors from moving in nearby. And Farm Credit Canada gets $1 billion for domestic food processing so we stop exporting raw product and importing it back as something more expensive.
The targets are concrete: expand the Ontario Food Terminal by end of year, open two new food terminals and 10 regional food hubs by 2028.
This isn’t a handout to Loblaws. It’s infrastructure to break their stranglehold on the supply chain.
Will it fix your grocery bill overnight? No. But building real competition into the system is how you get lasting price relief, not a rebate that disappears after one quarter.

PM Carney: 75% of grocery stores are the same five large retailers. Those retailers dominate the supply chains and they leave independent grocers with fewer options and higher costs.

If the only thing you can come up with against someone you disagree with is an attack on their looks or intelligence, you’ve already lost the argument.
When you have facts, you use facts. When you have evidence, you use evidence. When all you have are personal insults, you’re just admitting you have nothing of substance to say.
It’s the same lazy playbook every time. No counterargument. No discussion. No facts. Just cheap shots.
Weak. Pathetic. Predictable.

One of the strangest things in Canadian politics right now is hearing so many Albertans warn that every new policy is a step toward digital IDs.
Alberta is already one of the few provinces that actually has a government issued digital ID system. The Alberta.ca Account lets residents verify their identity online to access government services, and it has existed for years.
Yet somehow the loudest voices claiming Canada is about to force everyone into a digital ID system are often coming from the province that adopted one first.
There is a legitimate debate to be had about privacy, security, and government data collection. But if we’re going to have that conversation, let’s start with the facts instead of pretending digital identity is some brand new concept being secretly introduced tomorrow.
If having a digital ID is a threat to freedom, why wasn’t there outrage when Alberta rolled one out?

The proposed social media ban for children under 16 is not about creating a digital ID system. It is about protecting kids.
Social media companies are designed to maximize engagement. Their algorithms push endless content, collect personal data, and expose children to cyberbullying, predators, scams, misinformation, and content that can negatively impact mental health.
We already have age restrictions for alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and driving because children are not equipped to handle certain risks. The internet should not be treated differently simply because it is digital.
Critics claim this is the first step toward a national digital ID. There is no evidence that banning under 16s from social media automatically leads to a government controlled digital identity system. Countries around the world are exploring age verification methods without creating universal digital IDs for all citizens.
Parents cannot monitor every app, account, or algorithm 24 hours a day. Requiring social media companies to keep children off their platforms places responsibility where it belongs: on the companies profiting from children’s attention.
This is not about government control. It is about child protection. If we agree kids should be protected in the physical world, we should be willing to protect them online too.

Most people have no idea how different life was 25 years ago.
No smartphone.
No GPS.
No streaming.
No social media.
If you got lost, you were lost.
If you missed a TV show, you missed it.
If someone wasn’t home, you just had to call back later.
Kids disappeared for 8 hours and came home when the streetlights turned on.
What is one thing from the 1990s or early 2000s that you genuinely miss?

Want to block a pipeline from crossing your province? That’s your right.
But let’s be honest about what that choice actually means.
If you refuse to be part of the infrastructure that moves Canadian energy to market, you don’t get to collect a share of the revenues that infrastructure generates.
No equalization payments funded by oil royalties. No federal transfers propped up by energy sector taxes. No “we’ll take the money but not the pipe.”
You can’t opt out of the responsibility and opt in to the reward.
Canada’s energy wealth belongs to all Canadians, but only if all Canadians are willing to be part of making it work. The moment you draw a line and say “not through my backyard,” you’ve also drawn a line around your share of the benefits.
This isn’t punishment, It’s just basic logic.
If Ontario blocked every highway connecting Toronto to the port, we wouldn’t expect Halifax to send us a cut of their shipping revenues.
Energy is no different.
Either we build this country together, or we don’t. But we don’t get to have it both ways.
