Agendas

Seeing that picture of that tiny boy drowned upon the beach is upsetting. Hearing the Prime Minister use it as a reason to increase war efforts? Disgusting!

Is there no one in this world without an agenda? Must everything someone does have an ulterior motive?

We're all human beings. Maybe some are kinder, more considerate, and more empathic than others, but we're still human.

It's things like this that make me worry for the future of the planet. How can we have voted in a leader so devoid of humanity?

Canada has been long known as the country that helps out. We provide aid. We help the bullied fight back. Under his rule, our entire reputation is crumbling along with our oil-based economy.

If we're going to make a significant change to our constitution, it should be to allow impeachment.

Thankfully, I'm not a public service employee.

Thoroughly disgusted,

    Well said. At least we can vote! I'm disgusted too. I've been angry and disgusted for 4 years since this crisis started and everyone just stood around and watched. I can only hope we finally get rid of him and his poor excuses for ministers.

    I think we should have had an election when he was found "in contempt of parliament". No sitting minister, let alone the Prime Minister should be allowed to stay in his seat after that.

    I'm ashamed to admit that when he first ran, I voted for him. His economics sounded correct and his interest in defense kept my then husband in work as well as many of my friends and their spouses. I regret it now. I didn't vote for him in the last election though and I definitely won't in this one.

    They should be forced to respect the constitution, not try to change it unless there is an outcry from the public about something that makes sense like gay marriage rights. There should also be a level of reasonable lies and once they pass that, they lose the privilege of being our leader.

    Don't be ashamed. First of all, you voted. Second of all you were making what you thought was a responsible choice at the time. Now you know better and hopefully we can make a change. :)

    I hope so! The Cons sure are doing a lot of idiotic things lately... I mean more than usual. Peeing in a mug? Pictures with boy scouts? The oil-based economy? Duffy? All a bunch of stupidity and morally wrong things.

The Gauntlet That Was October

I had a lot of things happen in October. I watched Frankenstein in the cemetery with friends. I had tea with a friend. I started a new sport: curling. This is really fun and I'm enjoying the level of activity it provides and all the strategic elements. I'll do a separate post on it soon. Unfortunately, soon after my first game, I came down with Covid and so did the friend who I had tea with, so I think we both caught it at the place we went to. That wasn't fun. I already posted about that. I was fortunate to be free of it in time to attend Can-Con where I took in lots of panels, saw some of the wonderful writer community, bought many new books, and volunteered to help out in the rooms. The following weekend, I went to the livestream for Danielle Allard's new album release, followed by the in person release. As part of this, she has a 6 video series that releases every Sunday on her YouTube at 1:15 PM EDT. Video number 2, Falling Into Place, is one that I feel fortunate

Under Siege

My city is under attack. I wish I was being facetious.  The so-called "freedom" convoy is here and so far this is what has transpired: 1. They parked on the war memorial. These people who call themselves patriots. This is where the Unknown Soldier rests. This is where Corporal Nathan Cirullo lost his life in October of 2014. The cars were towed, but who knows what actual repercussions they will face. 2. Later, when asked to move away from memorial, one stood and jumped on the tomb itself while others cheered.  3. Despite having port-a-potties provided for by the mayor, they've been defecating on Parliament Hill, in snowbanks, and on streets nearby.  4. Flags being flown include the Confederate flag of the United States, Trump flags, the Quebec equivalent to the Confederate flag, upside down Canada flags, regular Canada flags, Fuck Trudeau flags, libertarian flags, and ones adorned with swastikas. Yeah, this is totally about freedom rather than racism, white su

2023 - Week 39

Starting curling season out right with this lovely gift from a friend and Bengal Spice tea. Normally, I work in-office on Mondays, but after such a busy week, I couldn't deal with an environment filled with distraction and socializing. Most of my team wouldn't be in anyway, so there wasn't a lot of point to making the transit trip. I spent the day working, catching up around Tiny Condo, taking in another Scrivener webinar, playing Minecraft, and attending my friend Danielle Allard's studio stream. The webinar was focused on using Scrivener as a tool for academic writing, but he demonstrated some features that are making it easier for me to continue reorganizing my novel into scenes. Later, I set up my Google calendar with the dates for round 1 of Rainbow Rockers (RR) curling. On Tuesday, I pulled the Death card for a second day in a row. I try to do a daily tarot though sometimes I forget. I know it's random and woo, but it's interesting that lately I've pul
