My 4yo decided on her own that the lyrics in the chorus of “Blue” by Eiffel 65 are “I would die if I was green” and I was both impressed and questioning my intelligence at 14 when this song was popular.
But I just looked up the lyrics… and that’s not what they are.

Excuse me what?
Born and raised in small town Alberta I can tell you it was extremely common 40 years ago for people I knew to use the terms "Turban heads, Ching Chong food, sand Indians," etc. Racism has always been here. I won't even go into terms used for First Nations.

Worth reading Roald Dahl’s account of the death of his daughter Olivia, age 7
Ontario reported 63 total cases of measles in 2024, the highest in recent years.
Of the 43 cases in children:
*40 unvaccinated
*1 had a single dose
*2 with unknown vaccination status
*7 children hospitalized
Best to stay up to date with routine immunizations

Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.
He won’t be judged by *his* peers, he’ll be judged by the victim’s.
Start the class war.

Jeff Bezos is now in the process of convincing Donald Trump to eliminate the USPS.
Get ready to pay $15 to send a letter through Amazon.

I’ve been part of the team that saved someone from tetanus. They spent months in the ICU on paralytic infusions just to control the muscle spasms, which still broke bones. They ended up wheelchair bound with a tracheostomy. I still remember them begging to die.

People underestimate the grind of walking 10k a day with bags hanging off of you for 20 or 30 years. I know a couple letter carriers my age who are broken down like ex pro athletes.

like you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....

Every single budget amendment has been tabled. Tim Cartmell has proposed not a single reduction.
Remember that when he votes against the budget later this week saying it's "too high".
He was in the room where it happened, but he missed his shot.
