As a former resident of Canada, I would advise der Drumpfenführer and his psycho office boys to get over the idea that Canadians would really like to be Americans, if only they could. They were making fun of us *before* Trump, but in those days it was good-natured. They have already taken control of Hollywood and the NHL. Freezing blizzards lift their sprits. Don't piss them off, eh.

I don't know if the Canada Goose is officially considered an invasive species, but I certainly consider it one. I live near Canyon Lake in Rapid City SD, and it has a permanent Canada Goose population--and yes, they are prodigious poopers. They especially prefer using the walking paths instead of the grassy areas, while we walkers prefer to use the paths for, well, walking. The geese would be my #1 candidate for deportation (and only candidate).

I appreciated hearing about a new social media platform built around care for people and not profit. Thank you!

I also wanted to offer my response to a specific reference in the article, in case it could support any potential shared goals for well-being and growth. I experienced an internal ping of discomfort when I read the reference for a military gander walk was from Nazi strategy. As I noticed feeling fear in connection with considering that military regime in particular, I imagined a trauma-sensitive reference might exist. I personally love a fun fact, some history lore--I also am down to thinking seriously about the Nazi regime. With all that considered, I found a casual reference to be a challenge. Thank you for reading and for this chance to dialogue! I appreciate the space you have created for caring conversation online.
