Brilliant post, Jo! Our administration mortifies and appalls me. I am so sorry on behalf of us all. Love Canada and just ate some Canadian cookies my mom brought back. ❤️

What does F stand for? Because my first thought is ‘f*ckwit’ but Canadians are polite and I – potty-mouthed, so probably something nicer ;) Personally I go with orange-utang, although that feels offensive towards orang-utangs.

Argh, Bjorn, I probably should have said. F stands for felon. I agree. I would prefer not to offend our ape cousins. I do like f*ckwit though. Good to see you, dear.

Brilliant Joanne!!

Love Trudeau I always have. But he shone in this moment.

Fentanyl accusations make my blood boil. We have an issue with the drug coming in from the USA, not the other way around.

Thank you so much, Wendy. It was probably his finest hour.

The fentanyl thing also sends me over the edge with fury. It's ridiculous. Also, it's an incredibly widespread problem that is difficult to get a grip on. As with everything else, we should be working together on it. Not coming apart.

A very good (and remarkably clear-headed) rant (tee hee!)

We are very much on your side and try to spread the message around.

(That would be Canada's side!)
