Last night Mr. Laffy, the twins, and I celebrated:
1- May 34th #TrumpGuilty
2- Finding a townhouse to put an offer on …in our preferred complex, exactly where we wanted to buy
3- Being together again, in #Canada for realsies
4- The rule of law working as it should
Today I woke up (I actually didn’t sleep much) under the weather… which started yesterday but was trying to ignore. So, no Champagne today.
Oh, what was that?
You’re asking if we GOT OUR OFFER ACCEPTED on the new townhouse?
…
…
YES!!!
Now if only I weren’t so miserable with this cold so I enjoy the moment. #Canada
Speaking of which, I will only post news alerts today again. I really do feel crummy.
Don’t expect replies. Apologies.
What a moment.
The WWII Veteran is introduced to Canadian PM Trudeau, and Trudeau introduces President Zelensky.
The Veteran immediately takes off his hat and exclaims “You're the Saviour of the People!!”.
Zelensky says, “no no, you saved Europe”.
“My hero", the veteran says, “I'll pray for you”.
Zelensky seems humbled (as he should).
Two men, saving Europe from tyranny, death, and destruction, at opposite ends of a lifetime.

This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.
(He later deleted the tweet.)
After a conversation with @chad this morning, I need to know. How do you pronounce “Coyote”?
Options: (choose one)
The most important thing in “your world” on CBC TV national news tonight (a nearly 10 minute item, plus a ‘breakdown’ item to come):
Celine Dion (bless her, but really?)
I kid you not.

We are the luckiest family on earth.
On Sunday, we get the keys to our new townhouse in #Canada, finally.
So we walk over there today for fun, & our neighbor Jerry, who must be over 70, is cutting down our overgrown bushes for us, because we told him we wanted to pull some of them to give Hammy more space. He wanted to get the ball rolling.
On his own. Because he's amazing.
& he's going to keep doing it until we actually move in.
We were floored.
#PortMoody, & Jerry, I love you.🥰 🇨🇦
How many of you knew that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have ties to Canada? 🇨🇦 🇺🇸
Harris lived in Montreal as a teenager and Walz is well known in Canada because his state borders Ontario and Manitoba. Ontario does billions in trade with the state.
A Harris/Walz win would be excellent for Canada-US relations.

You know, it occurred to me today there’s very likely a certain class of German citizen—not the government or mainstream media, I’d not go that far at this point—who from the shadows will be saying, aloud where he feels safe:
“Let the Jews hang themselves. Keep the support, funding and arms flowing, by all means! When they’ve finished with Gaza and the crime is finally exposed and recognized, they’ll know how it feels...”

Well then there's more hope on the horizon for a conservative defeat in Canada👇

Keanu Reeves signs 1-day contract with OHL team, Windsor Spitfires, to help raise money for mental health
He grew up in Toronto and was born in Beirut
According to NHL.com, the Matrix star was a goaltender and came close to trying out for the Spitfires when he was a teenager — but couldn't because of injury.

I meant to share this with you the other day.
I went to a paint store to get swatches, and as I pulled out of the small parking lot, I saw this trash bin with a very unexpected, un-trashy message.
❤️I love #PortMoody #Canada. 🇨🇦
Back in the States! Just got a beautiful view of Semiahmoo Bay along the Strait of Georgia after crossing the border from Canada.

“The federal Liberal party’s national campaign director is quitting, the Star has learned. Jeremy Broadhurst privately told PM Justin #Trudeau last month he is leaving, according to several Liberal sources.
The news blindsided Trudeau’s chief of staff, Katie Telford. ..Broadhurst told the prime minister he didn’t think Trudeau could win the next election and that Broadhurst should be replaced with someone who felt Trudeau could win a 4th term” #Canada
Via Ammar Moussa:
It's not enough to institute a $3,900 tax hike on families - Trump wants to make gas more expensive for Midwest families too.
Patrick De Haan:
Heads up: if elected, #Trump's promise to tariff imports of oil from #Canada could cause #gasprices to surge 25-75c/gal in the Midwest if enacted. The bulk majority of refineries in this region have been processing Canadian crude, nearly exclusively, for decades.
Okay, because you so sweetly asked, here is a 🧵 with photos from Jericho Beach, in Vancouver, BC #Canada. We went there yesterday with our dog Hamilton, our twins, and their dog Timmy. See: https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/113103623220944114
The weather was perfect, the day was perfect, and there were BUNNIES!
Sometimes I take quirky pix. Here's one.
