@Kevin00054414 @acoyne Come join us, Kevin. Lower taxes, overall and universal healthcare. Our kids come home from school. They do not lay dead in the hallways. More than 99% fewer mass shootings. No bankruptcies from illnesses.

He’s barricaded himself inside the cockpit and flying the plane straight into the ground.

@theliamnissan Oh Debbie, Come back. There is still time to escape the cult. Do not give up on yourself. You could’ve been somebody. Perhaps look for other role models than a convicted criminal, sex abuser with intelligence of a flea. (Apologies to fleas everywhere.)

Ope we lost Debbie, folks

@tribedotca @acoyne It seems he’s in the lead because those who have been so angry at an ineffectual liberal government want an adult in the room and Geoff has not shown himself to be that adult.

@acoyne He'll postpone it to Oct. Prorogue again because of an 'emergency', then sign away Canada to the United States, just like he recently moved his own company to New York because he thinks the prospects are better there. We don't need a PM who is a US citizen.

KERRRANNGGG!!!!

@AussieMaritimer So sorry.

After 5 weeks of Chester on oxygen since battling with pneumonia had a reasonable day yesterday with no oxygen. Yesterday evening seizures returned with vengeance which required heavy medication a result shallow breathing requiring oxygen no wins at the moment. #MightyChester

@elonmusk Do you even know where your children are?

He did this while kids are dying in trenches on the war front

@MikePMoffatt Given this call and will be open to both Canadian callers and American callers it offers a mutual dialogue about a terrible idea put forward by an unstable man to cause chaos. It will strengthen resolve and be educational on both ends.

@AussieMaritimer Too close! Glad it is just a limp…

Reversing the snowblower I slipped over the accelerator lever must have been frozen as it kept on reversing over me my foot jammed underneath the auger getting closer I kicked frantically with my other foot it loosened & stopped. I’m limping around but I still have my foot😦

@AussieMaritimer Strength to you all!

My little boy is being airlifted to ICU in Halifax. Please pray as I I make the arduous stressful journey to Halifax by myself in the car. This is all so heartbreaking yet again. #MightyChester

@alandrummond2 Beautiful

Hilary, Hawaii and Helicopter and dammed if Somewhere Over the Rainbow didn't come over the headset as we saw this rainbow. Eight months before she died. I'll never forget it.

@mdhiggs Rumour has it as a vessel of conservative tears.

@RickSteves Thanks for sharing.

A Letter from a Bishop to You Via Me: I get emails all the time from a bishop. (My girlfriend, Shelley, is a Lutheran bishop.) As bishop, Shelley oversees a synod of about 100 churches in the northwest corner of Washington state. (A bishop’s responsibilities are similar to those of a superintendent who oversees all the schools in a particular school district). While there are several families of Lutheran churches, Shelley’s a leader in what’s by far the biggest and most progressive branch, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (@ELCA). In these times of angry politics, hard divisions, and hyper-political churches, I fear that when unchurched Americans think of a Christian, many think of the extremely conservative ones who play such a high-profile role in the right wing of our political landscape. While the term “evangelical” can apply to a broad range of Christians, the most politicalized have come to be known as “Evangelicals” in the US. These groups are generally fundamentalists (who take every word in the Bible literally) and Christian Nationalists (who believe Americans are exceptional in God’s eyes, are sure to fly the Stars and Stripes in their churches…and might even think God would recommend a certain Bible that comes with the US Constitution stitched into it). On the other hand, the quieter wing of Christianity in our country (“Mainline Protestant” denominations like Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, and many others) tends to be more liberal. In these churches, women and gay pastors are commonplace, sanctity of life includes much more than a fetus, our Jewish and Muslim neighbors are welcome, and we understand that all people are children of God and, therefore, equally beloved. Sadly, while noisy and angry fundamentalists and Christian Nationalists grab the headlines and stoke the cultural wars that divide our country, the rest of us — who take “love thy neighbor” seriously — have been bullied out of the public eye. Shelley sends a monthly “Letter from the Bishop” to the congregations in her synod — and during this election season, I wish all Americans could receive her November dispatch. It offers what I consider to be a truly Christ-like approach to the issues facing our country. As a Christian, Shelley’s message (which is more “love thy neighbor” than “what’s in it for me”) inspires me, and it will guide me as I vote in this election. And — as an American citizen who cares deeply for his country — I hope that, whether you consider yourself a person of faith or not, Shelley’s message will also bring a new dimension to your thinking as you prepare to vote. From the Bishop: Dear Beloveds, As the election season is here, I have been doing some reflecting on what it means to vote as a Lutheran Christian. Please know that I am not telling you who to vote for in this election. It is not for me to tell you who to vote for. I mean, after all, God is neither Republican or Democrat, or even American. But in saying that, I am not abdicating the responsibility that we have as Lutheran Christians who live in a country where voting matters. As children of God, we are called to vote beyond our own self-interest or individuality. As people who follow Jesus, we are called towards God’s vision of a just and mercy-filled world. As people who have received grace upon grace, we are called to stand against injustice, and to remind everyone that, in God’s eyes, every single person is loved and beloved. So, here are a few thoughts and questions: 1. Jesus is all about loving one’s neighbor. Even when it’s hard. When he’s asked, “Who is my neighbor,” Jesus expands his answer. In Jesus’ stories and actions he constantly goes to those who are on the outside, those marginalized, those without status, and shows how they are loved by God – how they are, in fact, his neighbor. As you vote: Who is your neighbor? 2. Throughout scripture, hospitality to the stranger is embraced. In the Old Testament, the command to welcome strangers is repeated 37 times. In Matthew, Jesus says, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” As you vote: Who is the stranger? 3. God’s will and God’s calling is towards equity and justice for those who have been silenced, oppressed, or harmed. As we hear in Isaiah, “Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, and plead for the widow.” As you vote: Who are the silenced, the oppressed, the harmed? 4. The eighth commandment declares that we are called to not bear false witness against our neighbor. This, of course, means not lying about another but seeking the truth. This means no name-calling or false accusations. But it goes beyond this. As Martin Luther tells us in his Small Catechism, we are to defend our neighbor, speak well of our neighbor, and explain everything in the kindest way. As you vote: Who is speaking truth? 5. God created this beautiful earth and declared that we are both part of the creation and are also called to be stewards of it. As we read in the ELCA social statement called “Caring for Creation: Vision, Hope, and Justice,” we affirm that it is God’s intention for us to join in the healing and wholeness of creation. As you vote: Who is caring for creation? Dear Beloveds of God, there is so much more that could be written about the state of our country and what voting means. We could make this all complicated and intricate and difficult. But truly, it comes down to this: God’s love is unconditional and unending. Jesus came to this earth to show, to embody, to be God’s love for us and for all people. And so, knowing this, trusting this, believing this, we are called. We are called, as children of God, to show this love to the world. We are called to vote against hate. We are called to vote for God’s love. As we hear in 1 John, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear … We love because God first loved us.” +Bishop Shelley Bryan Wee

@RayDoesData As someone who travels a great deal across the Prov I would wonder about the 385. It is all moose & deer. (It always has been so perhaps fewer collisions because of awareness.)

@elonmusk Given the erratic behaviour from Mr. Musk it is very hard to know what to believe or if you can believe anything he propagates on this platform.

Early votes in Pennsylvania now show Republicans doing 435k better than Democrats vs the same date in 2020. Biden’s margin of victory was only 80k in 2020. Trending towards a crushing victory.

@nationalpost JP should launch the lawsuit. He should also expect that the Prime Minister has the receipts. He will not sue. He knows it’s true.

'I don’t think it’s reasonable for the prime minister of the country to basically label me a traitor, and I don’t find it amusing' Jordan Peterson says he is considering legal action against Trudeau nationalpost.com/news/canada/jo…

@shawnrouse I will be shocked if the green vote in this seat is anywhere near this low.

Of the thousands of things I do not understand this could be near the top of the list. #crazy #lifetooshort

@CanadianKayMD Life long learner. :) I didn’t know that either.

Working on fruit and I just learned something new about one of my favourite kitchen tools, the apple peeler/corer/slicer and feel a bit ridiculous that it took me this long.

@joshryanjames This is not how positions are filled. You should know better perhaps you do when you’re simply trying to offer some click bait. It’s also extremely sexist to think she would be named to a board of directors because her partner. Have you looked at her resume?

Justin Trudeau has given Nancy Déziel, who is the Bloc leader Yves-Francois Blanchet's wife the position of Chair of the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s Board of Directors. Don't expect an election any time soon. Bloc can be bought just like the NDP.

Oct 21st time for change.
