Hey Canada - how about we unplug the US, count two years and plug it back in? We supply the energy, after all.
Maybe it just needs a hard reboot.

He / Him.
Theatre guy with eclectic tastes otherwise. Including politics - which is bad theatre done by terrible actors presented to those who don’t get the plot; architecture and town planning, and older cars.
Live in Toronto, Canada; originally from Victoria, Canada.
Lots of places in-between.

So failed Presidential candidate and wannabe Trumpian Bolsonaro has fled Brazil - ignoring a Supreme Court order to hand over his passport and remain in the country.
And of course the US has already said they’ll provide visas to him and his family so they may enter the country.
A German has been arrested for the alleged arson of Hitler's 'Eagle Nest' - a 'destination' for him and his top Nazi officials - a fire that largely destroyed it.
Not suggesting an American should follow with such actions at, say, Mar-a-Lago or the White House - despite the Nazis currently using them - but in the case of the latter, they probably shouldn't expect the British to do it again, either.

During an Administration where all of the US's law and order (excuse the reference to a different franchise) agencies are suspect of being quite the opposite, it's both surprising and not to see the flurry of activity at making them (and the people who work in them) heroes and / or sympathetic and into US television series.
I'm expecting a positive spin to a drama series involving ICE - as produced by CBS - soon.

It occurred to me today that if Doug Ford ('The Premier Who Would Be Mayor') decided to rid streets of all sidewalks and parking, then surely traffic (oh, so much lovely traffic) could travel through the city completely unencumbered.
He's such a maroon.
So if you go an event - as I did tonight - and you bump into people you haven’t seen in 15 - 20 years, and they say, “My God, you haven’t changed a bit” - I know one should take that as a compliment, but one can’t help but wonder if, contrariwise, what they’re actually saying is you looked old back then.
