This is an op-ed written by former Canadian PM Jean Chretien in the Globe & Mail. Well worth reading. Maybe 45 needs a Shawinigan handshake from him.

This guy has NOTHING - the Axe the Tax bullshit is all he's got - and that is the LEAST of our worries! If he could gulp his water more due to fear of "oh shit, I'm in over my head" - just watching him gulp water to cover his fear was tickling but seriously Canada? Him?

Deciding which book to start 2025 with. ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ is the last book of Amor Towles I own. I adored the two I read last year so have been saving this 1. I love Liz Moore. So start with ‘The God of the Woods’ ? Claire Lombardo? My first Elif Shafak? Decisions…

Under that pile are some of the Classics owned. Want to try and read one Classic a month in 2025 too.

For 2025 I am going on a book buying ban for the whole year as I have over 300 books on my physical and digital tbr list. For every book I read I will be putting £10 in a jar to try and save some money. My aim is to read 75 books this year that I already own!!

The lack of international response to the Taliban’s torture of women and girls is proof that we are still second class citizens both at home and abroad.

Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity in a mass rape trial, so that "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" could change. Her courage unfathomable, no honour too great, she stood up for ALL women, changed history and yet Time's Person of the Year is a male sexual assaulter:

Because like Elon ensuring Trump win the US election, he’s going to be buying the Canadian election to install a CON government. Distressing

The dudes that shut down DT Ottawa, the Rideau Centre, closed schools, delayed children's cancer treatments, abused the staff at food banks, harrased citizens, pissed on the War Memorial, and defaced Terry Fox, sure have strong opinions about slowing the Gardner for 20 mins.
