β€œMy Canada” is one of our many favorite songs written by Manitoba native Dan Frechette, performed with Laurel Thomsen. We dig the lyrics and music, and we also dig the song because our precious grandchildren are Canadian Americans, and their dear mama a native of Canada.

This is a snippet of β€œMy Canada” from Dan and Laurel’s May 5, 2025 performance at Good Old Days in Pacific Grove, California. Hear the full song: https://danandlaurel.bandcamp.com/album/dan-and-laurel

@CStamp Agreed. Vote, whoever possible. There is only a marginal, fringe space for fascists in Canada. Let’s keep them there.

How we vote has an impact on so much more than our own interests and well-being. My Canada is inclusive & compassionate. Voting is a way we can serve our larger community. That may be a country. Or a local govt. It may be a province. Recently we’ve seen citizens in NB and BC vote for compassion. We’ve seen it in Sask too. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough. Fear won this time.

This is today’s notification from the admins of the Mastodon Canada instance.

There’s a reason Canada is a good place to live. It’s not because we’ve got no problems. I think it’s because we tend to skew to the liberal or left side of our desire for simplistic solutions. Not always. But over decades, consistently. Most of us are adults. Most of us accept what that means (things are complicated, messy, most of the time). And most of us want to do right by others, especially those who have it harder than we do. This is my Canada.

@DEWLine Ugh. I do not like being reminded of the worst PM in my memory. But I need to be reminded (because I do not like to remember). So, thank you.
My Canada used to have Red Tories for conservatives. I liked that.
