Great to hear from Jason Kenney. Your immigration program was admirable. I do remember the fuss made when health care, etc. was greatly reduced for immigrants. I totally approved that action at the time.

Alberta, Canada: I just returned from shopping and I am happy to say that I managed to spend CAD $450 on groceries without spending a single cent on American products!

But putting in the time today at the store and reading labels, I realized that there is a Canadian/Mexican/European equivalent for everything I need ; )

LMAO, Trudeau talking to us Americans like we have a say. WTF are we gonna do? Drag the Repubs out of the White House? No thanks. I appreciate having living quarters outside of Gitmo. These assholes need to just keep having a go at each other and leave us the fuck out of it. It's their show anyway. None of them ever follow our will. If they did, we wouldn't have charter schools and public schools wouldn't have been an absolute joke before Trump started trying to shut it down.
Combines personal frustration about American political powerlessness with sarcastic commentary on government responsiveness and education policy.

Couldn't make the March Forth rally today, took down by a migraine. Bad one too.
\nI've been trying to get a doctor to fix my lower jaw bone, likely with a bone graft, as my left lower jaw is disintegrating and being reabsorbed by my body's auto immune response.
\nI just got word today that with the pending cuts to Medicare, that I will likely have to pay for this procedure myself, to the tune of over $150,000 plus dentures, rehab, etc.
\nThank you Amerika, I'm going to lose my face, and likely my housing, my food assistance, my SSDI, and quite likely my very life, because greedy billionaires own your ignorance.
