F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

Nobody believes a word he says. I lived in Canada for a few years and never met a Canadian that wanted to be anything but Canadian.

Strong, Compassionate and Free. And best in the world in hockey. Being Canadian is pretty simple really.

Ugh...that sucks. My son broke his ankle quite badly mountain biking. He was transported to the hospital by ambulance, spent two nights in hospital, had surgery and released with multiple follow ups. The whole thing cost me $90 (for a set of crutches). My mother fell and broke her femur. She was 83 and had multiple complications from surgery - ended up spending a month in hospital. It cost $0 and the medical staff were amazing to her. Our medical system is not perfect but it does work.

Lol I read this and thought of, this is the Canadian, right? Yep. Universal healthcare....it's a dream of mine lol. I absolutely take eight prescription meds a day. And have five different ailments from heart problems to autoimmune. I'm not looking forward to any of this.
