  UPDATE: He is back home! He got out at about 2am, made it four blocks away, & parked himself at a neighbour’s house all morning. So we have him now, he’s grounded for life, and I’m going to take a couple of days off. Thank you all for the help! ❤️ Nanaimo, we need your help. Our friendly and trusting cat Otis found his way out in the middle of the night. He’ll likely be around the south end. He is our most cherished family member.

  If the B.C. election result stings for you tonight, remember that this province once forced a majority government to back down on a tax it had just brought in. A new government still answers to the same people who hired it.

  American friends, THIS is the kind of shit that Canadians will not forget. Even when your current leader leaves. We send our military to fight your wars. We help fight your fires. We hosted thousands of you in our homes on 9/11. And your government treats us like this. Bullshit like this is why Canada is cutting America out of the loop. Out. Where it will stay, for generations.
