Received a special note from Lisa Bobbi Schreiber-Hughes, the former U.S. Consul in Calgary. She wanted to express her condolences and sadness over the tragedy in Wainwright. We can never forget that the vast majority of Americans and Canadians are friends, close friends.

The new word for someone who is fired very soon after being hired is to be “SCARAMUCCI’D”. Thanks to this U.S. Administration hiring ability, we can add a new word to the dictionary!

It seems that if the U.S. Administration actually bans CNN, MSNow and Politico from White House press conferences, every network should boycott. Freedom of the Press is fundamental to Democracy. @PBS

There are a few political leaders that this great quote might apply to: “His personality is the best possible birth control.”

In older more corrupt times, people would stand outside the voting booths and give away bottles of rum to those who voted for them. Apparently inflation has raised that bottle up to $5,000.00 @CNN

Filling out the mail-in ballots for the Alberta Referendum will require a piece of identification accompanying the package. Get a photo copy of your driver’s license before marking your ballots.

When Alberta does not revert back to Mountain Standard Time in the fall, let’s agree that we will stay on Mountain Daylight Time. The world is confusing enough without calling something Alberta Time. Did we have a plebiscite about this?

All of the Boomers, Millennials and Gen X folks wringing their hands over Trump’s ridiculous trade war with Canada; remember that our parents and grandparents survived a real depression and a real World War. All we have to survive is a narcissistic bully who is confused.

In supporting Carney and all Canadians, let’s not forget that the American position is also a distraction to keep American attention focussed away from the Epstein files.

Does anyone else hear the sound of Canadians buying tickets to Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and Costa Rica? If the U.S.Administration doesn’t want us in California, Hawaii or Florida, well by golly………we don’t go where we’re not wanted. It’s a small world after all…………..🇨🇦

In regard to the Canada-US tariff discussions, it would be good if media called today “President Trump’s Artificial Deadline.” Canada cannot kaotao to this narcissistic buffoon.

Prime Minister Carney…….”It is never the good deals you miss that break you; it is the bad deals you make.” Remember the Disney song “Never smile at a crocodile.”

Why do Canadians need their Premiers to keep American wine and alcohol out of the liquor stores? If Canadians want to protest the childish and ridiculous Trump administration, just don’t buy their booze. You don’t need the government to make that decision for you……..do you?
