Cathie from Canada: Sunday Funday: Actual Canadian news and tips on how to be Canadian, plus other funny stuff, Carney Hat Tricks, TrumpWatch and Animal Crackers

First, some Canadian Actual News from Brittlestar:

Next, did you know that the Canadian citizenship rules have now changed, so that people whose grandparent was Canadian can apply for Canadian citizenship now?
We're getting lots of interest too:

Plus I'm reading about hundreds of health care workers now moving to Canada.
I think that's great -- welcome to all, and hey, I found some good tips on becoming more Canadian:

Canadian Insults #1

Canadian Insults #2

Canadian Insults #3

Some other Canadian funny stuff:

Did you know that Nunavut is the world's largest electoral district?

Moving on to other funny stuff:

Trump got confused - go figure! - and referred to Gavin Newsom as "president of the United States" - so Newsom immediately issued a post:

I think Newsom could do worse than to run on these promises -- Trump has demonstrated quite conclusively that no candidate needs to worry anymore about whether election promises are reasonable or achievable, just whether they're popular.

Someone in the Trump administration really should read up on how to do a war:

Somebody announced that "The Rapture" is March 22 and people on Threads are having too much fun with it:

A great thread about Calvin and Hobbes:

The Lego Titanic problem:

How skydiving is really filmed:

This is actually a buoy named Sue!

Mile 420 is no more:

Its all in how you look at it

This is inspirational:

Getting Old(er)

When you force a person to reset their password for the 10th time they begin to understand why ancient civilizations just burned things down

That buoy gag only works for the olds. First, you have to know Johnny Cash. Second, you have to pronounce "buoy" properly. The younguns call them "booees." Just like they pronounce "route" as though it meant decisive victory. Go listen to Nat King Cole's Route 66 kids!

Quoting the hitch hikers guide and shamelessly rhetorical.

.... I've come to realize that even if we somehow avoid nuclear war, the social/political trajectory we seem to be locked into will severely hamper our ability to withstand multiple environmental crises we've cooked up.

Right now, climate change is nowhere near the top concern of the world, though it should be. I'm not looking forward to this summer.

Up today, down tomorrow??
