You and the government you were part of were the most anti-armed citizenry group since…Alan Rock, for God’s sake. You’ve got no business chirping on this.

I get asked, what’s there to be proud of being Canadian? A 🧵

I'm very proud and thankful that I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States of America.. Canadians have a lot of passion for their country and I understand it.. You booed our country and I said you're terrible.. Let's shake hands and move along 🤝 #PMSLive

An MP who restricts comments doesn’t want to have a conversation. She wants to talk at you. It’s a terrible practice that contributes to division.

This is a pretty funny thread 😉

MPs barking at us but restricting comments is really, really poor form.

“See that little stream — we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it — a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs. No Europeans will ever do that again in this generation... This western-front business couldn’t be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn’t. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren’t any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remember Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather’s whiskers. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle — there was a century of middle-class love spent here. This was the last love battle.” ~ F Scott Fitzgerald

Finding a male painted bunting out in the wild isn’t easy. In fact, my brother once told me he thought these birds were merely a myth. He knew a local spot where these birds would occasionally show up, so he spent days crouched in the bushes, hoping to catch a glimpse of this feathered flash of color. He found out mosquitoes really liked him. He solved many complex math equations and he found a nice sense of inner peace, but the elusive male painted bunting decided to remain hidden from him for weeks. The one day, the tiny leaves of a Spanish Needle plant quivered and shook. My brother knew this was more than the warm Florida breeze that had cultivated a nice crop of sweat along his brow, and the moment one of those stinging drops rolled into his eye, guess who made a flashy appearance? The male painted bunting. Afraid to reach up and wipe the sweat from his eyes for fear of scaring off the little jewel of a bird, he sat motionless and watched gleefully. Let’s not tell him that I filmed this one from the air-conditioned front seat of my car. 😂

A lovely orange on this varied thrush in Delta BC 🇨🇦 Thank you to all my patrons for their unwavering support over the last ten years - their help pays for my file storage - I have over ten years of video footage of at risk bird areas in Vancouver like Roberts Bank 🇨🇦

I’m starting to really like Mark’s timeline. His obsession has become so crazy that it’s morphed into sone kind of comedy. It’s better than a train wreck. 😉

US citizen or not, I say we keep him.

My cousin tragically died of a fentanyl overdose three years ago. His roommate found him on the floor of his bedroom hours later. He was taken to the hospital, and eventually, my uncle had to make the difficult decision to take him off life support two weeks later. He passed away within hours of that decision. He was a young man in his mid-30s, starting a new life in a new city. Just three months after he moved, he was gone. Don’t tell me this isn’t a big problem in Canada, it is!

The cost to be a decent person is $0

I think the kids say "based"?

Many are feeling this way.
