- Honestly...? If you're spouting off about Canada being a "totalitarian regime" lead by an "authoritarian dictator", what you're actually spouting is: "I have no sense of world history, reality, or what big words mean!"
- Stop acting like pandemic mandates are a tyrannical attack on your "freedoms" & "rights". You aren't free to drive drunk or smoke in restaurants. It's not "your right" to take a dump on Main Street. When you live AMONG OTHERS there are rules to protect the group. This is not new.
- I had an eye exam today and you can't convince me that little "puff" of air they blast right onto your eyeball tells them anything. That's some inside gag they do for their own sick jollies.
- Ever since I tweeted a joke about "Beiber being Tim Horton's second choice after I said 'no' to their Butt Holes idea", the graphics have been swirling fast and furious. Each one better than the last! It'll be hard to beat this one by @JeffQuigley.
- Ordering breakfast in Saskatchewan this morning... HER: How would you like your eggs? ME: Over easy. HER: White toast, rye, or multi-grain? ME: Multigrain. HER: Hash browns or perogies? ME: ...? HER: Hash browns or perogies? ME: Hang on, I just have to tweet this.
- Our garbage bin sits on a sloped alley and it always rolls away or tips. So I cut a hockey puck in half and screwed the 2 sides to the bottom. Join me next week for more "CANADIAN SOLUTIONS".
- If there's one thing history has shown us over and over and over... Be VERY WARY of any politician trying to turn the public against journalism.
- Ok...I got a little angry & couldn't fit it in a tweet, so I put it here:
- HONEST QUESTION: Have you ever encountered anyone who used the phrase “virtue signalling” who wasn’t also clearly a dipshit?
- My dad would've turn 105 today. And he would've said something like "I don't look a day over 103". He fought nazis, raised 7 kids, built our house, played harmonica & step-danced, told stories, wrote poems, kicked ass at the gameshow "Definition" and I straight-up idolized him.
- Deepest apologies to any of my supporters who have been cut in half.
- I don't think journalism is supposed to be "balanced". It's supposed to be true. Honest. Factual. Relevant. If candidate A is an arsonist, report they're an arsonist. You shouldn't have to follow up with a story about how candidate B once burned the steaks at a family BBQ.
