Ok. Cookies are baked for tomorrow's trips back and forth to the polls. I have 35 senior citizens to drive to and from. I know them all. I do this every election/primary. It's like having 35 backseat grandparents for eight solid hours.

Oddly, I love every minute of it.

@dancinyogi That's terrific. You are an inspiration. Maybe your story will encourage others to do the same?

Elon Musk is mocking the for returning to .

And you know what?

They deserve all the mockery in the world.

Few journalists have a spine. They keep kowtowing to Twitter even though Elon Musk loathes journalism, and openly voices disdain for it.

So of course, Elon Musk mocks the Press -- they don't stand up for themselves.

And quite frankly, if they're not willing to stand up for themselves, how can any of them hold Elon Musk accountable?

@Jgmeadows The problem is that what happens in Alberta doesn't stay there. Those of us downstream are having our watersheds polluted with their toxic crap; the destruction of their part of the boreal forest affects this whole ecosystem; and don't get me started on the wildfire smoke.

@Jgmeadows Exactly! But somehow the Alberta UCP and the Saskatchewan Party's sovereignty acts are based on that magical thinking.
