Weekend stuff: Carney and Myers; more in Elbows Up!; Poilievre's problems; some funny posts; and Animal Crackers

Here's some funny stuff I have collected this week. 

First, a cartoon -- and when you get it, you get it!

Next, this great clip has just exploded online:

Moving on, I think Poilievre is going to have a difficult campaign. First, this was definitely a "Nelson" moment for Poilievre -- Ha Ha!:

⁦‪@PierrePoilievre‬⁩’s first-ever call to Doug Ford was last Monday. That’s two and a half years after Poilievre became ⁦‪@CPC_HQ‬⁩ leader. On Friday, Ford reminded ⁦‪@OntarioPCParty‬⁩ MPPs they will be too “swamped” to help Poilievre. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Other "Canadianisms" posted in this thread: 

Hurry hard 

My husband's favorite, "Get bent!" 

As a Canadian, one I love from my visit to St John’s, Newfoundland is “Who knit ya?” which means “Who are your parents?” 

I’m Mike. From Canmore. 

Expressing distance by time. “It’s about 45 min away.” 

Can I get a medium double double? 

Pardon me, I’m just gonna sneak on past ya … 

As I was taking off my toque, it slipped from my hand and knocked my beaver tail into my poutine. 

It’s a balmy -15 out today 

That’s pretty skookum (in BC) 

Keep yer stick on the ice 

Don’t eat the yellow snow 

“Look inside yourself, Rosemary”
