(As if the fact that many people will watch this edit of Trudeau’s softball Colbert interview and think it’s real. We are dancing in dangerous ground with how fast AI is advancing and how it allows people to manipulate photos, video and sound!)

I’m not sure who’s more excited – us, the kids or Charlie! (Okay, it’s Charlie…)
Isla Mujeres is still one of the single most beautiful, relaxing, fun places we’ve ever been in our lives…
No bully likes when you stand up to them…
People from the far-right group that disrupted the Terry Fox ceremony this morning just got into an altercation with Jagmeet Singh
One guy calls Singh a “corrupted bastard.” Singh asks him to say it to his face. The guy lies and denies saying it, despite video showing he said it https://t.co/P2Xh5nRgqB pic.twitter.com/RTqAqwbKqe

Instead of a single video, I’ll post a couple samples from two of my favourite bands from high school/early college years that are playing a double-bill at Casino Regina tonight, an offering enticing enough to get me to leave the house on a Monday night *and* stay up past my bedtime!

SECULAR SUNDAY
I have no way to prove it but I went for bloodwork on Sunday morning (yes, had to miss church!) 😉 and the phlebotomist was wearing a religious symbol very prominently (which is fine who cares.) Every single blood draw I’ve had in my life has had a single piece of tape but this person also decided to put two pieces in the shape of a cross? Intentional? Who knows but if so, I’m not even angry and I appreciate the subversive, almost subliminal promotion of their worldview!
