We definitely have our radical conservative ideologues here in Canada. We were just able to cut the head off the snake when we dethroned their king, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, after 10 years of utter bullshit.

It’s tempting but we need somewhere to send our oil.

I live within view of the US border. I am preparing packages in the event of a Trump presidency. Anyone crossing near my house will receive a litre of syrup, a toque, a 24 of beer, a detailed explanation of the off side rule, and pamphlets on bear safety and how to have sex in a canoe. Welcome/Bienvenue.

... This short is almost old enough to drink. I feel old.

I guess technically Futurama’s Robot Santa isn’t actually Santa, but still worth a mention in my book!

I’ll probably stay in the greys, but I just wanted to say something. The narrative that Canada is some sort of utopia or free of the same racist shit as America is actually quite dangerous to the marginalized people in Canada that are affected daily by racist structures of power. If you need any confirmation that…

Look. Here’s the thing that people can’t get through their heads. ISIS type fundamentalism is an ideology. There are ways to combat that, but you aren’t going to enact a policy that prevents its spread into your country, no matter where you live. You aren’t going to simply prevent every single possible terrorist…

I am so proud to be Canadian!! I still cannot believe the change we have seen once we ousted the dictator Harper. I did not recognize my country under him. Trudeau may not be perfect but he has restored my faith in my country and that we can restore our reputation on the World stage. Growing up I was taught about the…

Things are pretty emotional here. After years of rule under the Evil Lego Man Disguised as a Human Harper, it kind of feels like we are truly being our Canadian selves again. Not gonna lie, I have been kind of weepy with pride since Trudeau was elected. Also, making mittens for refugees, because it does get right cold…

I saw these photos on twitter this morning and I swear to god, either my heart grew three sizes or I ovulated. (If the latter, better drag my life partner to bed tonight...)

The people who have been supportive and volunteers working hard to make sure these people have places to stay, clothes to wear, and beds to sleep in once they get here has been astounding. There were people waiting at the airport and cheering as refugees left the plane, holding signs and giving hugs. It’s a nice…

Tell it to the Indigenous Tribes.

Thank you for writing this. I love Christmas as a Christian, but I wish my fellow religious believers would understand that the holiday has a ton of value outside the religious observance.

Completely agree with you re: it’s about giving, not belief. But if I never watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ ever again for the rest of my life, it will be too soon. I like the Alastair Sim v. of A Christmas Carol, myself, in the original black-and-white. (The colourized version ruins some rather good cinematography,…

We need to. Every year at around this time we get assailed by nosey religious types intent on interrogating us on why we should celebrate this holiday if we don’t believe the specific religious beliefs somewhat associated with it. As though they can just claim ownership over it and the positive emotions it embodies by…

It’s almost as if race is just a modern social construct and that international trade has been around for forever.

I should not have gotten high before watching that.

Good point. I don’t remember plot arcs existing before Babylon 5 in 1994. Plot arcs were for the day time soaps, not the evening dramas. Old Who, Lost In Space and Old Trek may have occasionally referred back to earlier episodes but essentially the characters existed in a state of grace. Except for occasional cast…

I thought about posting that same picture, but I figured why bother...

I had the perfect image for this
