It might be the most unlikely legacy of 9/11, but 25 years later, the musical “Come From Away” continues to enchant audiences with its story about how Canadians opened their homes to their American neighbors, and the world, in the wake of tragedy.

Well, this just happened at the grocery store.
An elderly woman asked me, “Do you know if this is Canadian-made?”
I said, “This whole section is.”
She smiled and thanked me.
I can only presume she’s doing her best to avoid American products.
Check the label, buy Canadian whenever you can and keep it going. 🇨🇦

This show is worth watching if you can. I think of it every year when this day comes. At this moment in time it’s particularly moving. 🇺🇸💙🇨🇦

Rebel News is vile. Full stop.
Imagine looking at the horrific legacy of residential schools, the abuse, trauma, stolen childhoods and generations of pain and thinking, “You know what would make a great kids’ T-shirt?”
There is something deeply disturbing about turning one of the darkest chapters in Canadian history into merchandise for children.
This isn’t journalism, it’s exploiting Indigenous trauma for outrage, clicks and merchandise sales. Absolutely fucking shameful.
Imagine sending your kid out the door wearing one of these.
Rebel “News” is selling residential school-inspired youth T-shirts just in time for back-to-school.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Canada has two moods.
"I'm sorry" and "You're about to be sorry."
We're at the latter stage.

Our closest ally. Our critical trading partner.
And Trump is hitting Canada with 50% tariffs.
What the actual fuck are we doing?

I'm from Alberta, and am fully on Team Canada.
To hell with Donald Trump.
To hell with Danielle Smith.
To hell with Alberta Separatists.
Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
