I'm really at the point where I have to start blocking anyone I stumble across who has any combination of Jesus and/or Christian with any combination of Trump and/or MAGA. Anyone who has ever read the Gospels knows that they are mutually exclusive and even heretical.

@GunnerManAFC @layxsnv You literally said "everyone" - not "most." For the record, I'm inclined to "C" and usually find the Oxford comma unnecessary. Formally correct, but usually unnecessary.

You have all gone crazy in the comments. So instead of responding to you all, I will just highlight your lack of reading comprehension. I clearly said most would say “C”. I did not say “C” is correct. Like it or not, the majority would’ve said “C”. However, AI has standardised the use of a comma before “and” which has led to masses adopting it. Which is a new phenomena, because it is a new practice by those who wouldn’t have before. Again, for you poor literary analysts, I did not say “AI invented the Oxford comma” lol. Take this as my reply and now continue to post, these are funny.

@KarenLa21271377 Ontario has 22% of senators but 40% of the population. It's the way Confederation was brought into being. Just like in the republic to the south California has the same number of senators as Wyoming. That was the deal down there when their Constitution was written.

Why does Alberta have only 6 senators with over 5 million people, Nova Scotia have 10 senators with ~1.1 million people, Newfoundland and Labrador have 5 senators with ~550,000 people, New Brunswick have 9 senators with ~870,000 people, Manitoba have 5 senators with 1.5 million people, Ontario have 23 senators with ~16.2 million people, PEI have 4 senators with ~182,000 people, Quebec have 20 senators with ~9.1 million people, Saskatchewan have 6 senators with ~1.27 million people, BC have 6 senators with ~4.82 million people? How is this fair and equitable??? Unreal. This system is outrageous and no I don’t live out west, I live in Ontario and I knew that the seats in the house were not fair and I didn’t look that up but I had the senators list when I called all of them to ask them to vote against bill C-9 and I just can’t believe how unfair this is. We should all have equal seats and senators as per population! Is there something I don’t understand here.

@KingFarmer13 @mattgurney Trump is a weak and childish man prone to temper tantrums who surrounds himself with people who tell him he's a good boy. That's all. Those who repeatedly tell others how great they are, how smart they are, etc. do so because they know that they're actually none of those things.

@mattgurney Trump is forcing China to play by 🇺🇸 rules, on 🇺🇸 turf, where Washington holds all the leverage and can seize or shut down assets if 🇨🇳 steps out of line.

@w_terrence Trump met with many foreign leaders after leaving office in 2021 and nobody raised a peep about it. Because it's not at all strange. Former leaders and current leaders meet all the time.

Dear Republicans, grow a freaking spine, for crying out loud and go after Obama. Obama was in Canada meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister, talking about relations, the future, and whatever else they want to dress it up as. If Trump were a former president meeting with foreign leaders while a Democrat sat in the White House, they would’ve screamed Logan Act before the meeting was even over. They would’ve accused him of running a shadow government. They would’ve accused him of interfering with foreign policy. They would’ve accused him of undermining the sitting president. So why does Obama keep getting a free pass? Republicans need to stop acting weak and start asking what exactly was discussed — and who gave Obama the authority to speak on behalf of America. Obama is not the president. Trump is. Act like it.

Submitted the 2026 Canadian #census. Very simple and straightforward. I am gobsmacked (love that word) by the number of poeple I see posting that they're refusing to fill it out either because they think it's some sort of conspiracy or because they don't like Mark Carney.

This morning at St. Mark's United Church I started a four part series on "Our Purpose." Readings from the beginning and end of the Bible (Genesis and Revelation) led into Part 1: "Created For Connection." youtube.com/watch?v=WrQKiD…

@DanielTurnerPTF What changed is that unlike Biden, Trump got conned by Netanyahu into starting a pointless war that bottled up the supply of oil. Supply and demand. Supply of oil decreases because it's stuck; price of gas goes up.

@LiberalBang @RasmusJarlov @onlycoolstuff22 No single country ever ruled the entire USA other than the USA. Countries that ruled parts of what are now the USA: England, France, Spain, Russia, Netherlands, Hawaii, Mexico, Texas. Some might include the Confederacy on the list.

@neilstitfer @OfOccam13625 @RasmusJarlov @onlycoolstuff22 But Hanover did not rule England. Two distinct nations shared the same monarch until Victoria became Queen, because Hanoverian law didn't allow for female succession. But even under George I (the first Hanoverian) England was "ruled" by the Parliament in London, not by Hanover.

@killemall2024 @alleria_eh There is no such thing as the British Commonwealth. It's called the Commonwealth of Nations. (Trump has actually expressed interest in having the US join.) The monarchy is a constitutional monarchy - the King reigns but doesn't rule. Decisions are made by elected governments.

@alleria_eh You are aware that Canada is part of the British Commonwealth, right? You already bend the knee to King Charles III. Let me guess. You also attended a No Kings protest... in a country that bows to King Charles III and his pedo brother?

Crazy how people cannot figure out the difference of becoming literally another state in the United States and losing our status as a country Versus Joining the EU for trade purposes and NOT being taken over by another country and losing our independence as a country.

@EricLDaugh What he didn't say but is becoming obvious is that a non-nuclear-armed Iran can do whatever the hell they want with the "Strait" (it's not plural) and there's nothing anybody can do about it - although they weren't doing anything until Trump started this stupid and needless war.

🚨 SECRETARY MARCO RUBIO JUST TRUTH NUKED THE WHOLE WORLD "They could make our gas $8 a gallon and we wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING about it!" "A nuclear-armed Iran could do whatever the HELL they want with the Straits — and there's NOTHING anyone would be able to do about it!" "And that's one of the many reasons, apart from the massive loss of life and a nuclear strike, why Iran can never have a nuclear weapon." "I mean, so this is an example of if they had a nuclear weapon, they closed the Straits and they would tell the world, what are you going to do about it?!" "We have a nuclear weapon, we can attack you with it. That's the world NONE of us want to leave behind." "It won't happen under this President's watch, but some future President and future Americans will have to deal with this. So just one more example by these guys can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon." He said it perfectly.

@Certified_TonyG My guess is that, if he really could manipulate everything the way people think he does, Gary Bettman would prefer to have Auston Matthews playing for an American team.

Ah okay, so THIS is why the Toronto Maple Leafs were gifted the #1 overall pick in the 2026 #NHLDraft… Matthews was threatening to not return to Toronto next season. What a fucking joke 🤣🤣🤣
Chris Johnston@reporterchris

New, for @TheAthletic: Auston Matthews isn't yet sure if he'll be back in Toronto next season. The Maple Leafs are on the clock with their captain 🔗⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/72539… nytimes.com/athletic/72539…

If this is what the #NHL is now, I think I’m done. How are actual bad teams supposed to improve? Toronto is one of the least deserving teams in the league. You have actual talent on the team. It’s not our fault you decide to lose trades and hire an idiot coach and GM. #NHLDraft

@HaroldWren22 It's almost as if we owe them for responding to the 9/11 Article 5 when every single one them saw that live when it happened. They seem to forget that we entered WWII on their behalf- and propped up their crumbling monarchies and gov't for 80 years since.

@Mark_Warden59 @TheTorontoSun Yup. Only team I go to see live are the Jays. $45 for a 500 level ticket pretty much behind home plate or one of the dugouts. Decent view of the whole field.

@TheTorontoSun Pro sports ticket pricing has long term implications. If a kid has no hope of ever seeing a game live chances are he will look elsewhere for his passions.
