Danielle Smith is introducing new vehicle license plates with a “Strong & Free” dog whistle slogan for separatists.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with our #ForeverCanadian license plate frame.
Order it here for a great Christmas, stocking stuffer:

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

Some heritage tomatoes picked green before we pulled the plant. Ripening nicely into their full yellow. The ones that ripened fully on the plant were twice the size.

The @NHL and #Rogers signed an $11B deal to hijack Canada’s game, strip away free CBC access, and slice up broadcasts behind endless paywalls.
They don't care about the fans. They see us as piggy banks to be squeezed dry for every nickel.
Time to cancel subscriptions and let the viewership crash. 🚫🏒💰

In Dagestan, a 45-year-old teacher spends four hours a day walking mountain paths to reach a school with just three pupils, situated 1,800 metres above sea level, reports Mash.
Khadizhat Shekhmagomedovna is the school’s only teacher, covering every subject herself.
She has been making the 14km daily round trip on foot for nine years, braving wolves and treacherous mountain terrain.
Despite the difficulties, she has no intention of quitting, she tells Mash.

When will Maple Leaf fans revolt as uproar over Sportsnet streaming costs amplifies?

Reminder. Do not subscribe to Sportsnet+. It's a blatant cash grab. Let their viewing numbers dwindle to nothing, and they'll hear about it from their advertisers. @Rogers and @Sportsnet this is corporate greed personified!
PEC will have strong agricultural representation on the next council. Congratulations to Ernie Margetson (Mayor), Mark Henry, Kane Rutgers and Ken Morton. Current and former farmers with Ken Morton being past owner of Deerehaven Farm Equipment.

I’m not paying $35/mo to watch two @MapleLeafs games, @Sportsnet. I already pay for a sports package, meanwhile you’ve got the Jays on 5 channels instead of the Leafs–@NHLFlames game. You’re pushing people to grey market and sealing your fate in bloated broadcaster obsolescence.

🇺🇸 United States: $40.54 Trillion (USD)
• Debt Owed Per Citizen
🇨🇦 Canada: ~$32,000

Every American child is born owing almost 4x more national debt than a newborn Canadian.

Asked about this... PM Carney just said:
"To the extent any progress has been made is because the U.S. is coming closer to our position."
